Default 130mph Killer Storm (Corbyn and the Express)

The Express are at it again with headlines of 130mph killer storms.
They have once again wasted their money with the nutter Corbyn who
last year in the same paper repeatedly predicted terrible snow and
freezing temperatures without any foundation. The MetO or the
gorvernment should sue for giving missleadimng information to the
public designed to cause panic. When its wrong the general public
think it was an official forecast and they got it wrong again!


Here's the URL:

Note a) the spelling below the picture; and b) that the story is in an
interesting hybrid section called "News/Showbiz"...

Interesting article from a fictional point of view.

If Mr. Cornbin believes that the public should be warned immediately,
then why does he not put that warning on his own web site. Of course, he
wants to sensationalise the story so he can sell forecasts. £10 is a bit
expensive to get a gypsy to gaze into a crystal ball isn't it?

I have an open mind regarding new scientific ideas, but I am a cynic
when I see a link to The Solar Weather Technique only to find a message
saying it's still under construction. What, the page, the teqchnique, or
both.

Not only do I think Mr. Cornbin is bonkers, I think he is dangerous. I
also think the daily rag who publishes his mutterings are completely
irresponsible. People read this crap and believe it. Some are even
frightened. OK we can laugh at this here on a news group, but not
everyone has the same access and knowledge about Cornbin that we do.

So Mr. Cornbin, I think a spell in Broadmoor would do you some good, you
could have cosy chats with you favourite journo in the bed next to you.
