The post you are reporting:
The only Tory politician that could make any difference in this instance is David Cameron. Why? ...simply because of the huge amount of media power he brings with him. Its the media power that makes the difference, as DC is not in government. With National BBCTV news, Sky News, ITN, maybe even NBC, and not to mention the might of Fleet St, from the Daily Mail to the Times coming with him, then bobs yer uncle, the government would suddenly be under immense pressure to do something. Thats how it works. They re-act to pressure.
Villiers visit, drawing attention to how awful the A258 is, was covered by the local papers and thats it, but this is preaching to us locals, to the already converted.We all know all this already. The coverage is unlikely to go further, its unlikely to reach the ears in Downing st...so therefore at the end of the day it becomes a photo -op. Perhaps a concerned photo-op I grant you. I cant see why you have difficulty accepting that one BarryW.
I did say in my first post that it at least draws attention to our A258 plight. But we need to move on from just drawing attention to it. We already know about it bigtime around these parts.
