Since the Air Ambulance people have put a recycle bin to collect unwanted items, I refuse to give away my unwanted junk to any other cause.

The air ambluance, which is a chairty which in turn sickens me, is an amazing service, and does a stunning job.

fkin hate the bbc and their fkin propaganda shit. FUKKAS!!!!!

What i am annoyed about is the way it tells the general public that bikes are bad.

They way they had that mom of the muppet kid, who ran in front of the bike and got his face smashed up, come over and have her screaming and blubbering.
Perceived by the public as "Look what bikes do, they are terrible, look at the distress the bike has caused that family, its the bikes fault"

We are supposed to be in a country that prides its-self on saying that everyone is equal, and we are all the same and we all have the same rights, and we are all free. I get the feeling that Us Bikers are getting trodden on and singled out more and more as time goes on. It tinkles me off.

I am bloody fuming after watching that program, my missus even got a proper ear-full from me about it. Then she served me dinner very happy

I think you missed the point about that bit! It was clearly a sad scene, it wasn't as if they were trying to say it was the bike's fault.

If the BBC were trying to say it was the bike's fault then they wouldn't have left in the bit where the kid's mate said "he just ran in front of the bike" - clearly putting him at fault.

The general stupid public will only remember the crying mother, nothing else.

No matter how you put it, that was made with the underlying intent to change the viewers perception of bikers to a negative one.

in a country when everyone is supposed to be equal, the people with the power to enforce that principle are the ones abusing it and that makes them a bunch of cunts

[Clanger]

I think the general public will be thinking 'what an idiot running out in the road' rather than the fact he got hit by a biker.

Overall the program was anti biker, it has to be, imagine the BBC doing a pro bike show and the complaints on POV!

[LordShaftesbu...]

Any program which showed the results of bike accidents would seem 'anti-bike'. Personally I didn't detect any particular bias, it was just that the accidents all involved motorbikes this time.

I didn't think the part with the young lad who got knocked down by the bike was anti-bike, it was discovered that he hadn't looked while he was crossing and hadn't seen the bike coming.

The show was highlighting the fact that victims of motorcycle crashes require specialist treatment, and that they are vulnerable to injury. Whether it was blatantly anti-bike, I wasn't so sure. It certainly didn't do anything to promote the activity though!

Just watched it and found it ok really. Sensationalism was kept to a minimum I thought. Especially when you think what media people can be like.
Air ambulances are our friends and do a great job.
It doesn't do any harm to be reminded occasionally of the consequences when things go wrong.
You never know you might get ketamine and a fit doctor to look after you.
