# how many scots were on board?
(k3b/-\b Peace man., Tue 2 Jun 2009, 11:38, archived)
# hmmm
sounds like there were originally no brits on board... then they decided to join mid-flight

that's my theory anyway...

# That may explain why the plane suddenly experienced 'difficulties'
...having the cabin opened several thousand feet up could possibly create some problems.

# This.

Why is it always so important to learn how many of the casualties are british/dutch at all? Are their deaths more tragic? 60-odd Brazilians etc. not bad enough?

# No. It matters to the public.
It's called a 'public interest angle', you create interest by emphasising a personal link, usually nationality.

# They have sky news on in the canteen here
The 'presenter' was video interviewing a British ex-diplomat to North Korea about nuclear testing the other day when all of a sudden,
'I'm sorry I'm going to have to put you on hold (!?!) while we go live to watch David Milliband' (talking about expenses).
Brilliant jouralism right there.

# The priorities of our media constantly astound me
It probably sounds a bit overdramatic to say 'and saddens', but it's true.

Much as I'm aware how lucky I am to be British (and I really believe I am, there are a few priviliged areas of the world that get so many things open to us that are just considered basic rights) more and more I just want to step away from this country, it just makes me sad, and angry, and frustrated.

Sorry, I'm shutting up now actually.

# I guess in a perfect world, it only matters to the press if it matters to the public.

The press shouldn't prioritise our sense of importance like this.
