1pm news today, headlines, Jeremy Clarkson/bbc. saw a few lines earlier this a.m. re a man in Oxfordshire has been charged with the murder of an 11 weeks old baby, strange priorities ?

Always like that, anne. When everyone was concerned about Chelsea fans pushing a black man off a train.(stationary) There was a white boy murdered for his bike by a black man in London. (nobody cared, much)

[anneasquith]

there is something so wrong about us now. babies/children being murdered/abused and a lost cat gets more media attention.

It does seem a mad world, to me anyway, nowadays.

Being charged with a murder doesn't really mean he did it - if he is found guilty it will rpbably get better coverage.
Anyway thousands of people car ebaout top gear, and i doubt 1000's of people know the baby

Years ago it was claimed in the paper that they had eradicated smallpox. Tucked away on P23 after 22 pages of 'celebrity' gossip.

Is it just me or does anyone else smell a publicity stunt here?
I would like to bet £1 that we do eventually get to see the postponed programmes (should we so desire to)
