I've stuck my complaint into the BBC about the usual sensationalist anti 4x4 headlining they've used.
Once again I see the BBC have blatently mis-reported on the London Congestion Charge as being some kind of "anti-4x4 Tax".
PLEASE, PLEASE GET IT RIGHT!!!
IT IS FOR ALL HIGH EMMISSION CARS AND NOT JUST 4x4'S!!!!
This kind of headlining really makes utter nonsense of the policy.
I suggest anyone else who thinks the BBC are complicit in giving 4x4's in general a bad press also e-mails their thoughts.
NeilWilson:
Looks like the BBC have now changed the headline to "Polluting cars face charge rise" which is more accurate.

This was FRONT PAGE on some of the freebie papers on the tubes today
Talking of which, what a nightmare on them the last few days... northern line delays yesterday (as usual) so they were too packed to get on, couldnt get on the piccadilly from the victoria as finsbury park was closed because of overcrowding, kings cross platform was taped off for the same reason. had to travel back miles in the wrong direction to get on and was so squished in when i did that i did my ankle in
today victoria line was completely suspended, the trains were completely [!Expletive Deleted!] up from waterloo and the district trains sat around for ages because the main line trains were diverted on to the tracks
... oh and the bus drivers were on strike as well
its a complete joke, i'm taking the rangie tomorrow!
sorry, off my chest now! :lol:
