It certainly lacks any kind of subtly - imagine if the BBC Six O'Clock news came on Radio 4 and the newsreader said "Today's news is critical" and left it at that. More time for the News Quiz though.
I'm personally not that scared by bombers who park them illegally in London (can't they see the signs?) and manage to get the wrong Glasgow Airport - it was Preswick that the USAF use, dumbass! http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Prestwick+Airport,+Prestwick,+South+Ayrshire,+KA9+2RZ&sll=54.162434,-3.647461&sspn=14.67127,41.308594&ie=UTF8&ll=55.499031,-4.578719&spn=0.000864,0.002521&t=k&z=19&om=1 Still, he's going to be the first person proescuted for smoking in a public place ;-) On 04/07/07, Chris Riley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I looked into this a while back, the problem with it is it changes so infrequently it isn't actually worth building something around it. For instance, prior to it being raised to critical a couple of days ago it had been severe since around August 2006 (I think) - and when it does change the media tend to cover it anyway. My 2p worth anyway.
