Simply confirms my belief that people in the UK are no longer able to assess risk for themselves, and now rely on the media to scare them in to thinking presumably whatever the media want them to think.

One thing is for sure, the media will never let the truth get in the way of a good story so they are not exactly impartial.

I agree,but how do you know which reports to ignore, if in the SUN then yes treat it as fiction,but all the papers are saying pretty much the same thing,.and say if you hadnt been to thailand before how would you access the risk for yourself ?

I can assure you that the report of my daughter being shot two weeks ago with a 9mm bullet that appeared in The Sun are acurate.

Hi Iain, This is outrageous! I hope that your daughter has a speedy and full recovery.

Cheers, Rick
