Well, Handyman, I don’t really think anyone has got anythng to worry about here, really….

But McAlpine has told the thousands of tweeters to make out-of-court settlements to avoid the greater fees in court costs etc ..He also threatens to pursue each one of them through the courts. No idea whether this is scare tactics or not.

good on you, Mrs T…

Leeds poverty was and is poverty..but Leeds people who fought to escape it never forgot their origins or the people who were left behind, at least the Leeds people I knew.

Mind you, weren’t they responsible for the worst crime of all??

When I was younger, it was a big thing among middle class kids and dropouts to get into the working class.

There’s been a very sad change, I think.
