My local weekly paper has very little content, and they want £2 for it, that’s too rich.

Oddly they put every store on Twitter. And email me about it. God knows where they get the money from.

I do weep for the lack of coverage of local democracy though. Where journalism dies, political manipulation and blatant lies run rife. All we have left is private eye to cover the most egregious cases

Thanks for the note about coverage of local democracy correlating with corruption.

Perhaps you listened to the same Hidden Brain episode?
