Who's slagging off journalists and the media?
Which part shouldn't we believe?

A Maritime and Coastguard Agency spokesman said: "We wish Paul well in his future endeavours and the MCA is very grateful for his past activities and work in the Coastguard Rescue Service. However, the MCA is very mindful of health and safety regulations which are in place for very good reasons. Above all our responsibility is to maintain the health and welfare of those who we sometimes ask to go out in difficult and challenging conditions to effect rescues. The MCA is not looking for dead heroes."

Yeah, a Scottish team give a big tribute on their website to an English coastguard who rescued some climbers who got stranded in snow and ice high up Ben Nevis mountain when he visting Scotland .

Have you got a point or did you just feel like posting?
