So no body died? I can't help but think this would not have made the news if the day before the state announced proposals to stop youngsters driving at night.

There have been multible deaths in car crashes and not made the news.

Just more conditioning by the state to try and win approval for their plans.

Nah, just the Biased Bullshyte Co

I see where you are coming from, but I don't understand why you are so worked up about it.

My family and I picked up the story on Facebook last night via sharing. No media outlets were involved, and as far as I'm aware neither were any 'state' personnel.

Our reaction was "what a bunch of dumb-asses", not "this has all the makings of a state conspiracy".

Well, yeah, that’s how the news works - if something happens which closely links to an existing news story, it’s more likely to get attention.

No it's not. It's news. You only think they are "social conditioning" because you favour a "no deal" Brexit.

If anyone on the "no deal" side of the argument could come up with anything more valid and interesting than vague wishes and hopes you can be sure it would be reported. I heard Iain Duncan-Smith, who is widely tipped to be deputy PM under BJ, respond to the OBR's report on the economic impact of a no deal Brexit by dismissing it as just speculation. The OBR is entirely indendent and objective. If that's the best that the no dealers can come up with it's hardly surprising it doesn't make the news.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

I think you're reading too much into this particular news item, and its newsworthiness comes from the fact that 17 people being injured in a gathering like this is more unusual and 'stand out' than a person dying in a car crash.
