I noticed on the one o'clock news that the BBC's reporters didn't seem
to think that the advice to stay away from the sea applied to
themselves. How much risk were they justified in exposing themselves
and their cameramen to in order to get good footage? Not much sign of
an H&S culture there, so Lawrence should have been pleased.


Exactly.
On the 6 O'Clock News they made a rather sanctimonious comment
about somebody taking a snapshot of the sea, yet the person filming
him doing it was almost as close!
More than a little hypocrisy here I think.
