Let's hear it for our transport policy......or not?

Nick Clegg launched our proposed Transport Policy today..........though you may have missed it! Having seen the press release I waited to hear if it was covered anywhere..........er, if so, I must have been sleeping! All I have heard has been a short interview with Anita Anand on 5 Live.

This is hugely frustrating, if Cameron sneezes it is news. If Brown frowns, it is news. If Clegg shows leadership and a commitment to policies that will improve the lives of our fellow citizens - er......zilch. No wonder the electorate are disaffected. What I despair of in particular is the role of the BBC - the service we pay for - the alleged "public service broadcaster". If anyone has a responsibility to promote democracy it is surely they? I fear that the media in general and the BBC in particular, are fast contributing to the undermining of meaningful democracy. If the electorate are not informed about what the real choices are, where the real differences lie, no wonder the constant mantra is "you're all the same".
