For these reasons I cannot see AD being integrated into TG.
This is just the sort of reason I thought they might be interested in an AD slot - to show that they are responsible really.
Perhaps they are not interested in being seen to be responsible. At the moment they seem to be more orientated towards entertainment and lashing out at anti-car people, which is fine by me, but they would need to change their basic approach before they could do anything constructive in terms of promoting AD. Would they be willing to make that change? I doubt it, but I'd like to find I'm wrong.
Best wishes all,
