I'm just saying non-corporate style gyms are quite rare in some areas. Finding a sufficiently cheap and suitable venue (in terms of distance, safety and space) I can imagine would be a serious headache. I don't regard the story as too much of a distortion in the sense that (a) services were ending, what is meant to me as "school gym" (b) it appears to be because of some pseudoreligious reason.

If someone gets worked up about some secondary issue, I can't really blame the papers for going for the jugular. It's fair cop in my eyes. Moreover the paper story might not be functionally useless as bringing up the issue may prevent it happening elsewhere or might mitigate a compromise.

As for the non-British stuff, I don't have any time for that, but on the other hand I'm not really too impressed by people getting offended at the smallest thing.
