From an ITV flyer that I've been passed a copy of.


--- Quote ---Do we need big 4x4s in our town centres?
Are they really more polluting or dangerous?
Does our consumerist market justify their ownership?

I've just sent them a fairly long and detailed reply.  I'd encourage as many people as possible to do the same.  Let's make sure they get lots of pro-4x4 responses.

wing nut:
done  my bit  :lol:  :lol:  i suggested if the government did away with road tax ,and placed it on fuel, then company drivers and alike would have to pay ,instead of someone who has a 4x4 who may only use it at the weekend.i mentioned i had a landrover and how much i liked it and stated it was no less polluting than john prescott's jag :lol:

Bush Tucker Man:
This is also being discussed on LRUK

V8MoneyPit:
The questions are presented in a biased manner before they even start though. So I think I can guess what the programme will end up like.

If it was more balanced it would read something like:
What are your views on larger vehicles in inner cities?

'Do we need big 4x4's in our cities?' is almost answering itself in the use of the word 'need'. Nobody 'needs' anything. With the exception of food and water. And why single out '4x4'? They should really employ more professional researchers if that's the best they can do.

Nick666:
*shrug* it's like Panorama, they're just editorials/opinions dressed up as documentaries. Total waste of time, and a disgrace to respectable journalism. I've complained to the BBC several times about the tabloid-quality of Panorama, but had no effect yet ;)
