Not everything right in the town’s appearance

WELL Sir Patrick Stewart and your 2.8 million twitter fans across the planet, whatever that means.

Rather than telling the world to visit Huddersfield, if I were you, first I would send a big tweet to Kirklees councillors to get Huddersfield and its once lovely, clean surrounding villages back to how they used to be before their severe budget cuts to the cleansing and street cleaning contracts, resulting in a few manual sweepers left to do their jobs as it should be done.

Sir Patrick, an old saying comes to mind – fur coat and no knickers.

That sums Huddersfield up to a T.

We had an excellent meal at the White Swan in Outlane. We had a friendly welcome from the landlord and staff, the different meals we had were super and we all agreed the sticky toffee pudding was the best we’d every tasted – homemade of course.

We will definitely return – the sooner the better. Hegarty I must say as Dickins once quoted through Mr Macawber: “The law is no use.”

Whoever passed that sentence needs to think we have had rising cases of domestic violence where women have been assaulted by their partners and now they will think that all they will get is a slap on the wrist and be told: “Don’t do it again, you naughty boy.”

What should change in the law is that sentences for assault cases should be minimum and maximum depending on the harm caused.

A jail sentence for bodily damage in this case should not be out of the question.

People like Elliot Beckwith will think ‘what have I to lose if I do it again to another girl.’

If a person has used violence once against a women, chances are they will do it again unless an example is made of them. Judge Pickles, the late Halifax judge, once sent a guy to jail for nicking a milk bottle. He was wrong but so is this judge when you think about it. GOOD to read of a Huddersfield tailor for gentlemen cutting crudely-worded cloth (August 23) for a short-fused chap who seems unable to join a press conference without starting some aggro. A fine macho role model for today’s adolescents.

Tell me, do buyers enjoy a generous discount if Mr McGregor loses his weekend bout? Even with such a monetary saving, I have just two words in response: No thanks.
