Well the months have passed and the paywall is still in place despite the fact that subscribers could be counted on two hands. Taking a look at their offerings today, you wouldn't believe one of the most crucial elections the district has known will be taking place on Thursday. They portrayed the need to have the paywall was based on falling revenues but we knew the real truth, the overwhelmingly pro-SNP and the generally anti-Labour views expressed in the comments section were scaring the likes of Baxter and the local Labour Party.
Even before the paywall fiasco, we all noticed that proper, hard news was becoming spare. All we got were banal, moronic stories about people walking to the moon in remembrance of their late Aunty Rina. Looking at it today, the vast majority of articles are of that ilk. These stories keep the costs down, they are supplied to the paper by attention-seeking Facebonkers. No need to trawl the are looking for stories when you have a legion of arses seeking their 15 mins of fame.
Despite the recent management buyout, the financial footing of the Tele is very rocky indeed and I wouldn't be surprised if it went to the wall. If they want to survive, they must return to proper journalism. Virtually everyone I know who buys the Tele does so only for the Intimations, if they want a comic, they tend to by the Beano.
Would I be glad if the Tele went to the wall? You bloody bet I would.

Lets face it, the paper is boring, depressing and nothing about it is uplifting.
It is time for a new fresh approach to enlighten and empower the people with news that is truthful, informative and educational about how their town is run.

It has to be one of the worst papers of all time. Even Teh Shitesman is better, well the readers comments are always a good laugh in Teh Shitesman anyway  |

Where would I start? Weans vomiting over me, weans pishing the floor, women pishing the floor, men pishing the floor. Men, women and children who haven't washed their nether regions in months. Fleas, lice, nits, scabies, suppurating gummas from syphilis, AIDS, perverts male and female who want to play doctor and patient with a real doctor...oh it's endless.

It's hell in casualty (I HATE the expression A & E) but nowadays, if your lucky, the nurses will give them a bit of a wash.
I once had a patient who came in complaining of an, 'itch'. She did smell a bit but not excessively so and so I had her show me and by all that's holy, she was alive with pubic lice. I don't just mean the odd wee crab, I mean a whole f****** seashore of them. Her flesh was all red and there were sores everywhere. In the end, I had to have her admitted to IRH. I think I must have stood in the shower for three hours when I got home and my room and the car smelt of Lysol. She was a seemingly respectable lady if a little, 'neglectful' of her, 'toilette' but she probably got them off a toilet seat.
