So apart from points 2 and 23 you're ok with the rest?

The whole premise and tenure of the article is "Hull is a wacky slightly naff backwater it's OUR wacky slightly naff backwater", and was probably 'written' by a trainee out of town journo in their twenties.
 
I moved away from Hull 6 years ago and still as force of habit read HDM online. Its absolute bilge 80% of the time but just every now and then you get to see someone you know get sent down for a petty crime. The best is when some twat you went to school with is standing with their arms folded because their gobshite of a child has been excluded from school for a uniform infringement that they absolutely knew would get pulled up.

It's gone the way of many other provincial dailies and many seem to have an identical template/style.

Just feels like ours employs people who are half laughing with us/half laughing at us, in a way that wouldn't be accepted elsewhere, and who have scant knowledge of local life.

I would pay good money for a serious local weekly with proper in depth journalism and reporting..

The state of journalism, per se, is ****ing appalling. The distinct lack of criticality and bias is shocking throughout.

There's a few, and just a few, I respect.

Like the parents at Kingswood school whose parents deliberately sent their kids with brightly coloured shoe laces and the headmaster sent them home !
He refused to back down and good on him !
Arms folded,pouted lips in disgust !
IQ of about 30
