Truckersworld tells the Real Story

I READ WITH interest your views on the BBC's Real Sion: programme (CM 2 November and 9 November) and noticed something missing from the report.
A BBC reporter asked for our help on the 'Fruckersworld website some time ago and, to be honest. I was very pessimistic about the whole thing — rightly so as it turned out. However, my colleague and the owner of the website.BarrieTozer,did in fact offer the help that was wanted.
A reporter and cameraman spent an entire day on one of his normal shifts with the promise of showing how rough the job is for British truckers.
But it turns out that since Vosa also made itself available, the day with Barrie was cut.The programme took an entirely different view, focusing on mechanical and hours prohibitions, which obviously discredited us yet again, branding us all as murderers for the umpteenth time.
A number of complaints have been sent to the BBC, although again I have little hope of anything being achieved by them.
I don't know whether or not this information is new to you but I thought you should be aware of the fact that the BBC asked for our help, only to turn around and stitch us up again.
