"Unless the press really got stuck into this whole sorry mess"

And there lies a problem. The Express has become no more than a regional advertising rag. Genuine local journalism is not existent. Even the Yorkshire Post/Evening Post seem to pay little regard to local issues such as this.

Sadly, in todays world, unless it involves some sort of disaster or tragedy there is little or no interest.

it lost all credibility for me years ago when delivering this piece of crap on a friday teatime after school when my newspaper bag was that heavy I placed it on my handle bars, it went straight into the wheel and trapped in my forks throwing me over the top of the bars I did find it made a good weapon though ramming in to a poodles mouth when it attempted to take my fingers while posting the paper was shredded which is what I do with every copy


a proper journalist paper would of loved to get to grips with the ins and outs of what's being going on but I bet they are sitting back fearing reprisals if they ever printed anything wrong and got sued.

M62 Revisited

Oh, Rod said to Colin, “Find me some land”
Col said, “Man, it’ll cost you a grand”
Rod said, “No” Col say, “What?”
Rod say, “You can do what you want, Col, but
The next time you see me comin’, you better run”
Well, Col said, “Where d’you want this buildin’ done?”
Rod said, “Out on the M621”

Well, Colin Mackie, he had a brilliant plan
To build a big white box on green belt land
He asked Peter Box, “Where can I go?”
Peter Box said, “There’s only one place I know”
Colin said, “Tell me quick, man, I got to stay alive”
Oh, Peter just pointed at a quarter to five
And said, “That way, down the B6135”

Well, Michael Carter said to Manni Hussain
“I really don’t know where we’re going to be playing
I’ve got a good team but nowhere to play in
Do you know where I can get a new stadium?”
And Manni Hussain said, “Let me think for a minute, son”
Then he said, “Yes, I think it can be easily done
Just take everything down to Featherstone”

Now, Mary Creagh on the twelfth night
Told Wakefield Council that things weren’t right
“Your big white box,” she says, “is much too white”
Peter Box said, “Come here and step into the light”
Peter Box said, “Hmm, you’re right, let me tell Colin Mackie this is not on”
But Colin Mackie was with Eric the Tonne
And they were Brentwood bound on the A1

Now, Ralph Rimmer he was very bored
Trying to create a rugby league war
He phoned Eddie Hearn who nearly fell off the floor
He said, “I never engaged in this kind of thing before
But yes, I think it will be very easy to do
We’ll just stock up on lager, with champagne for you
And head out West on the M62”

Wakefield Express is produced in Sheffield of places. I think the paper has two local reporters and there aren't that many garden parties to report on around Wakefield. The paper's a joke and as Snowie say, a REAL newspaper would have followed this story and reported it word for word.
