I am finding it difficult to understand why the High Court challenge has gone unnoticed by the media (with the exception of the Bristol Sports Post). Panorama did a great programme on Tesco's and some of their land deals, and no one was even thinking of taking them to court.
So are we not unique in doing this? If so why is it not in the papers or on the TV? I can understand The Mirror not wanting to get involved as a Labour Party supporter, (Lord Sainsbury is a benefactor), but I thought some of the others would love to report it. Lets face it. It is more news worthy than 90% of the crap in the papers. Who is interested in the bloody Baftas or "someone who was on the tele once in the jungle"
Shouldn't a minnow taking on a giant more important? I thought the British always rooted for the underdog. |

What's the public angle? 'Big company seeks to renege on a deal with a smaller company'.

On the BBC's "inside the Commons" programme last week, they aired Charlotte's Leslie's question to the PM on the JR situation and he responded with his support. Hope that made someone in Sainsbury's media office squirm. But no other national coverage. The time must come ..........

There's no actual story yet from a national point of view.
Judge sets date of court case is not really a national level story - when the decision is taken then it'll be a national level story.
