Too much coverage

THE killing of so many adults and children at a concert in Manchester is so tragic, but I find the broadcasting media seem more interested in the sound of their own voices.

They have been going on from 4am on radio and now on TV repeating the same old questions to those who survived the bomb blast, and anyone else they can use to make a story, and changing TV programmes to talk more.

Yes, some who have been at the concert may want to get it off their chest, but what good is it doing for the ones who have lost a loved one? Look how many presenters are reporting it and how many channels are all doing what one person could do.

Then they will be digging up some celeb or the Archbishop of Canterbury and asking the the same questions, often negative, and just justifying the high number of presenters used to tell us what one or two could do. It raises the old chestnut of how many does it take to change a light bulb? Well, with the broadcasting media, about 50.

Others of us have experienced similar things but did not have the showbiz media we have nowadays. To me all this saturation coverage is helping the ones who want to cause complete chaos. What would be more positive and logical would be not to be so slack letting those who had gone to fight with ISIS or other groups back into the UK.

It seems that the bomber was known to the services, but it has become non-PC to be able to have open, honest debate any more, because of being called racist or Islamophobic.

Care for breast cancer

I KNOW only too well that getting off the treatment treadmill can be the most daunting part of breast cancer. I found it as hard as my diagnosis.

When I finished my hospital treatment, people expected me to celebrate, but instead I was scared about the future. I became obsessed with my diet, struggled with returning to work, and hated the way I looked. I didn’t know if I should live every day like my last, or try to forget what I had been through. I wish I had somewhere to turn at that confusing time.

That’s why Breast Cancer Care’s new BECCA app is so vital. It provides bitesize practical information and lifestyle tips to support women in the same position as I was.

It can be a huge challenge to face life after breast cancer with confidence.

So please, if you know someone struggling after treatment, encourage them to download ‘BECCA’ on the App Store, and make this the day they start to move forward.

Pricey to take it away

Old fridge £28, old fridge freezer £28, old TV large £28. No, I’m not selling these things, even though they still work. It’s just how much SBC want to take these three items away. Now, as I am a pensioner, I’ve decided to leave them in my garage but I can understand why people dump things. I don’t dump things, even my bus tickets and shop receipts. I take them all home.

Pay attention to signs

WOULD all drivers on Wiltshire roads please note that a mobile work sign stating roadworks ahead usually means that up ahead road workers are either working on the road or on the side of the road, warning you to slow down and be vigilant for workers?

It doesn’t mean speed up and see how close you can get to the workers who are out there risking their lives to keep the highways safe for you to drive on.
