There and the Elephant and Castle (Jumbo) in Fegg Hayes must have taken some beating for rough pubs.

The Sent*nel - bringing you the hard-hitting news that matters most
Meanwhile, the MP for Stoke on Trent North is receiving questionable funding from South West-based property developers, a waste disposal firm is putting residents health at risk and continually flouting environmental regulations virtually unchallenged, and the local council is using millions of pounds of tax-payers money to convert Tunstall Baths into luxury flats that will then be sold to a private developer. But the blue clock though, look what they're (not really) doing to the blue clock you fucking thick, unwashed, prole cunts. This fucking shitrag has nothing but contempt for the people of this city.

I think many of the current crop of Sentinel 'journalists' come from the Daily Mail school of 'Let's Report Divisive Nonsense'.

Unsurprisingly, this 'story' was in The Sent*nel a couple of days ago too (given that West Yorkshire is practically Staffordshire, obvs) however, angle had been changed in the version for 'Stokies' so that it focussed more on the implied dogging aspect (because people from Stoke are a bit thick and easily titillated by stuff like that, obvs). www.stokesentinel.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/big-baps-cafe-boss-says-6803675It really is beyond parody and I can't wait for the day that it goes to the wall and this city gets a proper newspaper that represents the views of the people and doesn't go out of its way to trash Stoke on Trent at every available opportunity, paint its inhabitants as moronic proles, and makes every effort to maintain the status quo by telling its readers that everything is beyond hope so just put up with it. Fuck The Sent*nel.

Out of interest - what would you class as an example of a good regional newspaper? Unsurprisingly, The Yorkshire Post gets a lot of praise up here, but I haven't read a print newspaper in maybe 15 years.

They're not helping themselves by calling it Big Baps in a sex hotspot 😆 I'm not honestly sure what came first - the cafe or the sex hotspot. I think that the cafe has been there about 3 or 4 years. It seems an unlikely place for a sex hotspot to be honest, although I suppose it is handy for the M62. Then again, someone once told me that a car park in Tadcaster was the most highly-rated gay dogging site in North Yorkshire, so who knows?

The Portsmouth Evening News (much to my annoyance) made The Sentinel look like something that should be pushed through people's doors for free (not hard I know) years ago, don't know about now. They managed to find lots of genuine local interest stories, took every opportunity to big up the area, ran some good competitions (their own dream team football comp that my mates and me used to enter and bet against each other) and much more. I used to be embarrassed by The Sentinel tbh.

Unsurprisingly, The Yorkshire Post gets a lot of praise up here, but I haven't read a print newspaper in maybe 15 years. The Yorkshire Post is everything that a regional newspaper should be - principled, a provider of a voice to the marginalised, not afraid to hold power to account. Everything that the fucking Sent*nel shitrag fails miserably at. In fact, The Sent*nel not only fails at these most basic journalistic attributes but actually revels in them, churning out divisive nonsense that goes out of its way to paint Stoke on Trent as a shithole that's beyond hope and one that's populated by the terminally stupid. It has nothing but contempt for its (dwindling) readership and the city that it supposedly represents. Stop reading it, stop clicking on it, encourage others to do the same and actively call out its agenda-ridden, inaccurate and downright irresponsible reporting when it arises. Incidentally, I used to work with the current editor of The Yorkshire Post (James Mitchinson) on a small regional title way back when. He's what you'd call a stand up bloke (cracking central defender too).
