The arsehole has fallen out of print media/journalism due to social media. Daily mail, guardian, BBC etc got rid of thousands of journalists over the last fifteen years. Reap what we sow.. stopped paying for it, got it for free, so now the consequences.

I've been reading English language Indian newspapers recently.
**** me they highlight how far British written media had fallen.
Balanced articles giving differing points of view (for example on the removal of Indian nationals from the US - flown into Amritsar on a military plane with no notice), with no bias whatsoever, just facts and differing interpretations; then a Leader comment which did give a point of view but separate to the main article. Well written, considered and fair.
Like both the Guardian and the Daily Mail used to be.
Give the facts, the news, the interpretations - then the paper's view separately.
When did we lose this in Britain?
When I was spending a lot of time in Hong Kong, I always enjoyed reading the South China Morning Post, it was a very well written paper. Unfortunately, it's not exactly independent any more and it's articles are tightly controlled, I think all the best people left some time ago.
Can't remember the last time I read an article on the BBC - read it daily upto about 2015 (****ing hell! A decade gone). Guardian is either getting a lecture or like some teenage kid writing. Daily Mail is largely AI now. Private Eye is still good. I miss the days you could buy a Sunday paper and lose an hour over a coffee/drink... Shame really.
The evacuation of St Stephens came after a cleaner was clearing the nappy bin in the toilets, she saw batteries in there with a wire sticking out of them. The centre contacted the police who told them to send a picture of it, and when they got the picture the police told them to immediately evacuate the centre. It turns out someone had messed about with the mechanism of the bin and ripped the batteries out of it. Best to be safe though.

Why does a bin need batteries?
Despite my daughter’s travails last night that saw her delayed by 2 hours and having to pay for an extra day’s parking at Brough station it really does sound like an understandable decision.The evacuation of St Stephens came after a cleaner was clearing the nappy bin in the toilets, she saw batteries in there with a wire sticking out of them.

Though if enough local scrotes find out just how much disruption they can cause through a little bit of vandalism then I imagine they’ll be changing the design of the bins pretty sharpish.
I’m only basing it on what TwoWrights’ said it was. But I’m no stranger to a risk assessment and in those circumstances I would have recommended evacuation too.
Can’t remember if this has been posted already, but this is the plan, and the partnership involved, for the development of the East side of the River Hull opposite Old Town

Is this going the full length of Tower Street? If not it'll look a bit isolated on that side of the River.
WTF? Why take away the Pier?
****ing morons, haven't they learnt from past **** ups?

It's falling down, it's a complete eyesore, it would cost a fortune to restore and once restored would have no purpose as no ship has used it since 1981. I'm all for preserving heritage, but there seems no logical way of bringing this into any sort of practical use again.
Unless it's dangerous and not viable to repair it'd be a mistake to remove it imho.
To be honest I never thought of that. I just saw that they was getting rid of our heritage again and went on one.

When those who excused , apologised for became fearful of expressing an opinion and holding people to standards and responsibilities
it will be a real shame , lots go onto it and view the river from there , we always do. Or did til it closed after part repair . I am sure some DEI money could be found somewhere to repair it instead of wasting it .To be honest I never thought of that. I just saw that they was getting rid of our heritage again and went on one.
