• Merton drivers’ shock after man dies under bus in Colliers Wood – Wimbledon Guardian
  Tragic accident in Colliers Wood on Saturday, but why, oh why, does the Wimbledon Guardian feel the need to say "No arrest or charges against the female driver have been made". Why is the gender so important? Despite the fact that it appears to be a tragic accident and the driver is not to blame, the Wimbledon Guardian seems to be wanting to plant to subliminal image of unsafe, FEMALE, bus drivers.
