“London Assembly Liberal Democrat Dee Doocey yesterday issued a perfect example of how to not to write a press release. You might want to have the offending article to hand as we proceed.

Now, stop me if I’m wrong, but top tourist attractions such as the London Eye and the National Portrait Gallery are already fully accessible to wheelchair visitors. What Dee’s really talking about is the lack of step-free access at the nearest tube station. But that doesn’t make for quite such an arresting opening sentence, does it? She makes exactly the same error in her next sentence.”
