An article by the BBC entitled "How could a tornado hit London?"

Perhaps it got fed up with Londoners feeling of self importance like the
rest of us?

London is now filled with ethnic, sexual and leftwing nutters (high
percentage of Scots in national and local politics) They are self obsessed .
It's ironic though, because some contributors to this NG believe it's the
self navel gazing English that produce this rubbish.

In many historical societies it's the ambition driven by paucity that seizes
the day.

Same old chestnut, when Scotland gets snow, it gets news coverage in London,
If a Tornado happened anywhere else in the country that too would make the
news in London, so why should London's tornado not get news coverage
elsewhere. London is the Capital, of course its going to make the headlines.

What? Half an inch of snow in Scotland makes the news in London? Are
you sure about that?

The beeb has a delightful waste of space known as 'Newswatch' which is where
the beeb can tick the box that says "listened to feedback from viewers" and
then promptly ignore any complaints and go on as before. One yesterday was
about the news being far too London-centric. The coverage of the London
tornado was mentioned, noting how much coverage was given to it, whereas
there was effectively b*gg*r-all about the Gloucestershire one or Aberfeldy
& how the Brum one got hardly any coverage compared to the 2.5 hrs
continuous coverage as lead story on News24 of the London one. Naturally
they had some bod from News24 in attendance who did the standard thing which
is, in effect, "Thank the nice little viewer for writing in, but I'm an
important media editor/producer and I know best and we shall go on doing
exactly what we've done before as we know best. Patronising? Moi?"

You're repeating yourself Lawrence. It isn't any less crass the second
time around.

Crass eh? what's all this about then

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6164805.stm

The truth does have a habit of repeating itself.

As I've always maintained the left social marxists in this country hate
America, Israel and England especially the elderly and the country side.
