The two things they should be reporting on...  Niramax investigations/fire & HBC dodgy goings on are companies that provide their main funding no doubt... So they'll just pretend everything is awesome!

[Land Phil]

Somebody must have got a free pie for all that ar** licking.

[Alnwickist]

  I know of two incidences where funding from Niramax would be withdrawn, if councillors did not amend shall we say decisions.

  HBC dutifully obeyed. Strange things sea coal and fountains.

The Mail should be doing what a local paper was meant to do ... having a finger on the pulse of local events and asking questions. It's inert, a bland recorder of the inconsequential. 

[Land Phil]

The Mail is no longer local, token staff and the stories are generalised so they can get away with sticking them in at least half a dozen papers (as the comments referring to the Journal, Echo etc.  show).

...exactly what will happen to our council when Tees Valley gets into full swing, not fit for purpose.
