JAIL SENTENCE

Yorkshire woman who blighted emergency services and threatened to jump off A19 bridge repeatedly is jailed

This is obviously a cry for help. Disgusting treatment for the poor girl. Instead of jailing her I think sectioning her would have been more appropriat­e to keep her safe and addressing and helping her with her problems. She has been badly let down by an unsympathe­tic judge.

Jayne Denton

She’s clearly got underlying mental health issues. Profit is worth more than people as usual. I hope she gets the support she deserves.

Stace Jayne

So, she is showing signs of mental health and is suicidal, and what does the law do? Throws her in jail. Is that really going to help her? Shame on the justice system.

Dawn Nora Bradley

Anyone with half a brain can see that this isn’t attention seeking... it’s a cry for help. She needs a hospital and a mental health team around her... not jail.

DRINKS

Slush Puppie.

Cup of tea.

Lee Taylor

What is wrong with this country? Poor girl needs proper mental health treatment, not treated like a criminal!

Lillian Armstrong

It’s not attention seeking, it’s an obvious call for help. Poor lass.

Rebecca Wheatley

She needs help in a mental health unit and not jail.

Paula Beckitt

Mandy Conway

Litter Britain: rubbish strewn across parks shows once and for all that we simply can’t be trusted

Just take your rubbish home. They can’t provide bins for this lot. Take it home!

Christine Wiggins

Couldn’t agree more, the self entitled slovenly slobs are a disgrace and unfortunat­ely the decent minority of teens and twenty-somethings all get tarred with the same brush.

Jonathan Grice

Respect for the environmen­t and each other no longer exists. Disgusting.

Tanya Edward

Should have more bins around the parks but that’s no excuse.

Kyle Man Utd Chiverton

I used to think it was kids but it ain’t. We were taught as kids to not litter, seems like the younger generation didn’t.

Lorraine Walker

I would leave it there and when they came back again would make them think twice about rubbish.

Maureen Perry

I think there is something in the notion of the festival generation that think someone will be employed to clear up after them! After all that is what happens.
