I call it the Oxford Fail

[j4]

j4 got misquoted in the local paper. I certainly did not say "It's the only way of getting heard"; their slimy reporter asked if I thought protesting was the only way of getting yourself heard, and I said "No, it's one way of getting yourself heard."

Mind you, given their normal standards of journalism I'd expected them to quote me as "Annette Knight of West Oxford said 'I like planes'", so I suppose I should be grateful.

And you would have to stand up very noisily for it to be heard. It doesn't make so little sense, knowing there was a whole question in between...

Good old meeja. They'd probably written 90% of their article before attending the protest and just wanted a few real-world names to put next to their pre-written soundbites.
