Starving Brit Keely: My nightmare trapped in City of
Ghosts – Tokyo
The title alone brings shame on the paper and now, reading again and watching the video, it is embarrassing to see that the reporter is clearly mixing the stories from the north and the south for pure drama.
I was livid when I saw this and actually found myself writing a 'yours disgruntled' letter......
Hello,
I am writing from Japan, having just read your article from Keely Fujiyama.
I am DISGUSTED that you let something like this go to print.
We live out in Saitama, further away from Tokyo, in the countryside, where life has continued as normal. Sure, there have been blackouts, although we didn't experience any.
As for her words about the British embassy, I am appalled by what she has said. Information is very clear and readily available on the web (facebook and web page) and by phone and also through the foreign office.
The British embassy team from Tokyo have been up in Sendai organising coaches to bring down British nationals and help them leave, if they want. Actually , many people, including my husband and I do not feel we are in danger and do not want to leave.
Information from the government and our embassy has been great.
If people have been stocking up on goods, then this is a mere precaution. Nobody south of Fukushima is going hungry, nor 'lives in fear'.
By allowing this story, amongst others to go ahead, you are perpetrating a fear in our family and friends back home. How dare you.
Please show some respect to the nation that mourns so many people, a nation that needs to rebuild many towns, and a nation that would never behave in the way that you are now.
Leonora Sophie
