How can the UK news networks make a whole days news out of some thing and nothing.

Today has been "C" day - that is the start on congestion charging in the center of London.

I think this is a brave decision for Ken Livingston and his administration, someone has to "take the bull by the horns", but the whole day has been taken up by it.

I realize it has, possibly, got nationwide implications, but today, it just sounded like a lot of southerners wittering and whinging about how they have to pay another tax - etc. etc. etc. But they are happy to take the subsides to build new houses in the south and south-east , whilst the bulldozers are to flatten houses in the North (although there are plenty of homeless people at this end of the world to)

It just tees me off that everything seems to go first to the South, and then if there are any scraps left, it slowly moves North. I suspect that there are many Scots that feel the same way .

Its as thought there hasn't been anything else happening in the world. And , I know , that this sounds like a moan - which it is - but this is the way I feel at this point in time. The country, apparently, is about to go to war, but the main news is that a few Londoners may have to put their hands in their pockets - how sad.
