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

That's a thing of the past now , as you've noted all these 'local' papers are now owned by a big national company
and have the exact same template and churn out 'stories' they've got from facebook etc.

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.

Don’t think they will have been that old.
 
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

Everyone feels disgust. Or outrage. Even at the slightest thing.
 
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.

Happened since the Trinity Group, which owns the Mirror, took them over.

Love the lists of things you can only do in Hull. Walk down Whitefriargate, go to Bob Carvers, go to Hull Fair. You don’t say. Wonder if they do a Leeds one saying only in Leeds can you walk along the Headrow or go to Whitelocks’s. Only in Nottingham can you go to Nottingham Goose Fair...

Maybe they thought that wasn't a very interesting thing to do. But tell me, how many of those things have you not done because you think they're akin to "Booling a tansad down our tenfoot on a mafting day as it's siling down"?

Many of the things are not as interesting as booking a tan sad anywhere even on a fresh and sunny day.

The most ludicrous one is the one about on a match day one half of Hull is at the KCOM and the other at Craven Park. That would give Hull a population of about 20,000.
 
Sorry to go back a couple of pages but...

The decline has almost it rock bottom.

Hull Live (HDM) Facebook has just asked,

Is tomato sauce on a roast dinner acceptable yes or no?

I kid you not.

Anyone who replied with yes needs to be taken to one side and shot.

WHAT THE ACTUAL **** IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE. YOU ****ING MONSTERS.

Hull Live tonight - Man with long history of performing sex acts by horses is back in court.
The night before, man angry and disgusted that a hawthorn bush is hanging a foot over his garden fence.
Then the other day woman angry and disgusted that the council wont pay the £50 to have a wasp nest destroyed in her shed.
Another 'suspicious looking men' sat on a public bench in the city centre, and then the latest 'big name' act at the Polar Bear photographed eating patty and chips in erm, a chip shop.
