“It must be tough being a LM reporter having to spend all this time re-writing press releases from New Walk and the Police.
What to do with the remaining 7 hours of a working day though?”

“Unfortunately this is becoming so common and i fear its going to get much worse,i know we are all in a bad state whether we work or not , money is getting tighter the unemployed and disabled are going to have to find more money towards rent and council tax and to make the cash up i see more and more of this occuring and of course we will have less Police to chase them.”
