Short Thomas gives us his regular round-up of the way the newspapers have covered the world of road transport.
It's easy to get angry in haulage. All too often you read about a country that apparently despises your presence on the roads, is too moronic to see the importance of your role in the distribution chain and fails you when it comes to petrol prices, working time and speed cameras. 74?
You can either bang your head against a tanker or kick back and have a laugh at the way your industry is reported in some newspapers. And Viz can always be depended on to dig up the hottest leads.
Dial Ml for Murder Lorry Drivers' Fury over New Murder Cameras is a spoof article revealing truckers' rage at the installation of cameras that photograph murders being carried out: The cameras are intended to speed up processing times for iayby homicide, but anti-camera lobbyists insist they are just a way to increase police revenue and persecute law abiding murderers."
A list of "Britain's top five most lucrative murder cameras" is included with Jeremy Clarkson allegedly quoted (ie not at all) as adding: "Not content with heavy fuel prices, the government now wants to make their job even harder by slapping fines on them each time they murder." As one driver explains (or not): "If they made them a bit more obvious you could stop murdering when you saw one."
Viz makes a point in 400 words that some may find offensive. But, like all good satire, it's based on a truth that some will refuse to acknowledge.
