... at the apparent lack of up-to-date coverage by the major British Television channels in the aftermath of the worst tropical storm to hit the Philippines' Capital in 40 years.
In common, I expect, with millions of other viewers here in the UK, I tuned into the BBC News at 10 o'clock ... fully expecting to hear updated reports from Metro Manila in the devastatingly destructive wake of 'Typhoon Ondoy' ... only to find the airwaves dominated by Gordon Brown's "latest woes". And, on switching across to ITV, it was the same "story".
Now, I realise Sunday news bulletins - like bus and train services here on the Sabbath - are somewhat condensed compared to what we're accustomed to receiving on weekdays. But surely the scale of havoc wreaked by natural disasters [wherever they occur on the planet] ought to be infinitely more worthy of mention than
*politics. *Enough said!
All I CAN say is, it's scandalous! My thoughts and prayers are therefore with fellow forumers and/or their families whose lives have been severely disrupted by the sheer magnitude of yesterday's flash floods.
