I stopped buying the Wakefield Express a few year ago due to the paper being bias against all things Wakefield Trinity. Today I decided to buy a copy just to see their coverage of the first Conservative MP in Wakefield for 87 years, and just to confirm why I stopped buying the paper the main headline on the front page read BLAZE RIPS THROUGH CHIPPY. That's all this papers fit for, wrapping fish and chips.

Strange that because the WE is owned by Johnstone Press who own "Local" newspapers all over the UK and they support the Tory party. They also own the Yorkshire Post, which is Tory biased. I remember buying the Yorkshire Evening Post "Wakefield and Five Towns edition some years ago. The rear pages were all about Leeds United and Leeds Rhinos, for heaven's sake.
The WE hasn't been readable since it went to tabloid format, and stopped being a real newspaper, many years ago, using insipid color printing. It is (was) printed in Sheffield, and employs about 5 people in their Northgate office. Is the office still there, by the way, or have they moved out of the city altogether?
