[quote="marco"]spot on - i think in future if theres any sort of possibility of a negative slant to a story we should never display riders in ACC jerseys, we should also be wary when giving journalists facts, because they will only use the ones that will write a shock value story.

was this in the sports section or the news section of the printed copy?

[quote="mrP(Boonen)VT"]It was a difficult call, when out of the blue a journalist rings up, and I tried to give as balanced view as possible, and add my point of view, so should I have said "No comment" and not co-operated?

that guy who left croydon is a loser. police brutality hmmm...say that to the De Menezes family. i hate it when people come out with comments like that, its quite inconsiderate. i dont have a problem with community support officers, some presence is better than none.

btw Boris Johnson is a loser, I was at something with him rallying support @ Ashburton Learning Village, and the guy is just irritating. I was dragged by dad (who is a conservative, and part of the CMF), and was thoroughly unimpressed. The guy loves to scapegoat problems on people than actually find a solution. But he is a natural speaker.
