with the whole petrol strike thing......since it began up until this morning they were saying 'oh only a few stations have reported running out of petrol....all stations have said they have enough supply and none will run out' then today as soon as the agreement is reached BBC news say 'the strike has resulted in hundreds of petrol stations accross Britain being closed'
this annoyed me
it's a good thing
the moronic public have to be lied to or else they'll just go and start panic buying. IT'S FOR THEIR OWN GOOD YOU KNOW
who made this decision?
for stuff like this they're usually making thing's much worse
DON'T PANIC
NOTHING IS WRONG
here are some experts to show you how much you shouldn't PANIC and here is some footage of people not PANICKING
[footage of people queuing endlessly and panicking without really knowing why]
remember viewers DON'T PANIC
like mothing fucking watchdog innit!!!
They reported that hundreds of station had had problems

200 hundred or 300 isn't that much when you consider there are around 8,700 petrol station in the UK.
Silly chris.
ah, but compared to the
'only a few stations have reported running out'
well thats just semantics
If it was 400 thats still less than 5% so you can 'a few' 'not many' 'no significant number' and not run the risk of having offcom coming round and break your doors down.
The BBC wont often report numbers until they have official ones
as they are bound by their charter to only report on fact and not speculation... unlike Sky News which just makes shit up
When the inevitable zombie virus strikes......
anyone trusting the BBC's version of events will be dead dead dead!
*undead undead undead!
they've split up
The worst for me was when they said
that really rubbish DNA method was being discredited for murder trials and then said 'the method was instrumental in the conviction of ________ who killed ________ in ___________'. Legal? Perhaps. Totally irresponsible? Definitely.
Radio 5 Live
was inviting people to ring in and tell them if there were queues at their local garage. It seemed a deliberate ploy to whip up hysteria. Because opinion is much better than fact, isn't it?
