As part of the 2012 Olympics anti-terrorism measures they are banning cars and taxis from driving into Edinburgh Waverley station.

Even in the hysterical world of the Media, that's the most spurious link yet. That has as much to do with the Olympics as it does with lunar cycles 🙄

Whenever I see a BBC article I cross-reference it with a few other news organisations.

Why? Why not banish the BBC from your life, thus saving hours of cross-referencing a day.

Then Murdoch can spoon-feed you your ready-packaged opinions without distraction

Network Rail, which runs Waverley, said it was the last major station to still allow cars underneath the station roof.

Doesn't Birmingham New Street allow people to park under the station canopy, with a couple of token cycle stands shoved in somewhere?

Not being banned till July, gives the bad boys plenty of time to hatch some plans!

But seriously, makes as much sense as a chocolate teapot. Or near me, the "Security Fence" that sort of, is part round Milngavie Water Works, total waste of money and time.

Yes, but they were Scottish, the Scot's have a long history of innefective freedom fighting/terrorism, real terrorists might do stuff like planning.

The ironic thing is its been proven that his Journo's are actually reporting facts. Or at least doing their very best to find factual information.

The BBC is a Labour/Guardianista mouth piece.
