    “Oh dear - this really is a new low. Not content with filling the pages with national stories and trying to give them a local slant we get a GLOBAL story put on here that alienates other readers.

    When did the election of the leader of my church of England get any coverage on here and unless these new leaders were from Scawby then why should we? This site is going down hill so fast I have a nose bleed. You can tell people are going off here in their droves by the number of comments.

    Sick of dumbing down with weather reports, trying to link the area with totally unconnected national events, Gestapo type moderating. Get a ruddy grip or you will send this site the same way you sent our beloved Scunthorpe Evening Telegraph.”
