GAZETTE FORGETS

The Shields Gazette admitted today that they didn't even realise there were local elections taking place and therefore had not given it any coverage. The Editor said “When the dates were announced for the election all our reporters and photographers were out covering a story a story about a cat stuck up a tree and unfortunately we didn’t know they were taking place. We have had the tree chopped down to ensure that this sort of thing can never happen again. By the way, the cat survived.”

IF ANYBODY ACTUALLY READS THIS BLOG (AND NOT JUST THE PEOPLE WHO ARE LOOKING FOR PICTURES OF LIONS!) I HOPE YOU ARE NOT OFFENDED BY THE NATURE OF THESE SARCASTIC POSTS. WHILST CERTAIN PEOPLE HAVE BEEN NAMED, I HAVE RESPECT FOR ANYBODY WHO IS PREPARED TO PUT THEIR HEADS ABOVE THE PARAPET AND STAND UP FOR THEIR VIEWS AND SERVE THE COMMUNITY (BUT NOT THE BNP, I DON’T MIND YOU STANDING IN A FREE SOCIETY BUT I DON’T WANT YOU TO GET ANY VOTES!)

DON’T FORGET TO VOTE ON THURSDAY!
