I don't know about you, but I'm entirely capable of making decisions without the guidance of journos. If I hadn't thought before that journalism is primarily about fitting the facts to the angle rather than actually investigating then coming up with a conclusion, a few years living with a journo confirmed the reality.

Says what like it is?

Indeed Sue. If GG means making up statistics to support his POV, then that's definitely true!

I bloody love the BBC and hope it can survive. But then I happily put myself in a lefty luvvie prosecco-swigging socialist knitting my own organic bedsocks bracket. I also think most jobbing journalists do a reasonable job.

What is the hostility to Gudrun all about? Do we want to pretend that these statistics are all a figment of someone's imagination with no acknowledgement of the truly horrible experience it is to be burgled?

I see one EDF user's 10 year old has hacked their account: "go away Gudrun, we don't want you publicising a bad image of our area."

As pointed out above, the hostility might relate to a concern this is going to be a beat-up of insurance claim stats to draw potentially incorrect inferences as to the comparative level of crime. My guess is that folk don't want the potential adverse effect on house prices.

I don't live in SE22 and am a knit-your-own noodles type. I just know enough about how hacks work to think there might be some substance in the concerns of a beat-up.

Yes, not wanting the potential adverse affect on house prices - reckon you have a point. How terribly SE22.

I've been married to a hack for 22 years and he seems a decent sort.
