Face Mics

[davebro]

Why are reporters & interviewees suddenly using those ridiculous pink blobby face mics - what happened to the unobtrusive lapel mics?

Then perhaps you should try a little harder.

It is an unwritten courtesy of the AB that contributors do not highlight spelling and grammatical errors because it simply clogs up the page, and can lead to pointless off-thread observations which distract from the debate in progress.

Thanks.

Mamyalynne,
It was parody/sarcasm ;-)

ANOTHEOLDGIT, at least 115 MPs asked police for additional protection. If the Speaker had also been made aware of who had made requests, he may have been quick to identify a common thread.

Goddard Was convicted of assaulting a press photographer. Sh he follows up his verbal abuse with physical abuse.

ANOTHEOLDGIT, you get the hump when spaces are put in your name.

How would you cope with being verbally and racially abused by a group of blokes as you walked down the street?

Blimey I didn't realise that telling a Lithuanian police officer that he wasn't even British was a criminal offence.

Since it was reported that the police officer was Lithuanian, I would have thought that Goddard was only stating a fact.

Well it seems that double standards are in force here, an ethnic minority chap can throw a milk shake over a politician and gets away with it. It was even reported that the perpetrator was safely escorted by the police, back to catch his train.

It was racial abuse and I doubt he had politely stated that the PC had not been born in this country.

ANOTHEOLDGIT, I have no idea why a case was not brought against that individual. I have said previously that no-one should be subjected to such attacks.

Goddard pled guilty, why was that?
