Disgusting picture

Rojales October 29 Dear Sir,

I was disgusted by the picture that appeared on page 53 of last week's edition dated 19th October.

I was so disgusted by it that I turned the page and would not read the article by Irena Bodnarec.

I have no idea why it was included other than maybe trying to shock. You newspaper is not some men's dirty magazine or sleazy newspaper.

What on earth were you thinking of - not much I would suggest. There must be families here who buy your paper with teenagers who would perhaps read it. But apart from that, I can't see many people who would want to see that. I suppose the sort of yob that walks along the Benidorm seafront would leer at it but the large majority of your readers would not.

I do not know how long you have been the editor but it seems to me that the standards have been dropping for at least the last 12 months.

There have been articles recently by Tom Baker and Dave Jones that have triggered off criticism by readers, which have filled the letters page of late. Like many readers who have already mentioned the same thing, I will not read any letter that is at least a column or more long.

It is no good saying that the views of some writers are not that of the newspaper because with anything that is controversial you and the owners have the ultimate responsibility for its content.

I doubt that you will publish my letter, as your letters' page will still be full of Brexit and other political articles. Not that I expect it to be published. Regards, John E Smith PS. I do not understand why you would want all letters using the letters e-mail address to have the same title of 'letters'. Your staff could not tell one from the other without opening them. Ed Please email your letter to the editor at letters@cbnews.es adding "LETTERS" as the subject.
