Tabloids are to blame for the current Royal mess

-

I drive this road to work on the Bradley Business Park along with 500+ fellow employees .... the massive holes definitely need filling ASAP .... a Mini nearly got swallowed whole down one the other day!

DAY after day we have endured speculatio­n and comment about the Royal Family. It’s a media feeding frenzy and I for one am fed up with it.

It is obvious that we cannot trust the tabloids with their nasty, cruel, often invented stories.

You may say we are not obliged to read this stuff but even the BBC joined in with “it is thought that” and “some reports say”. Apparently, there is a public appetite for being told exactly how the Queen feels from day to day.

Does she really confide her innermost thoughts to such as the Daily Mail?

Ever since Prince Harry’s announceme­nt, news bulletins have shown both pundits and ordinary people, who have been button-holed in the street, telling us stuff that is obviously just guess work and sometimes quite vicious.

In the great scheme of things what the Royals think and do is not particular­ly significan­t but what the press does to them, and our compliance with it, is symptomati­c of a darker side of human nature.

Tabloids hounded

Diana,

Princess of Wales, to death and are now driving Prince Harry and his lovely wife out of the country.

They are actually the cause of the problems they are reporting on. They are actually creating the news.

This is an appalling disservice to the Crown and to us all. I hope I am not alone in finding it just sickening.

Why should we pay for Sussexes move?

FOR Canada, read California, why should the British taxpayer fund the Sussexes privileged lifestyle?

New pub on Castle Hill is a great idea

WELL done George

Senior in supporting the Thandi partnershi­p for their plans for a replacemen­t Castle Hill public house.

The individual­s who constantly oppose such an establishm­ent write as though everyone holds their one-sided views.

Many Kirklees residents, including locals to the site, have opposing views and would love once more to have a quiet drink and bite to eat from such a wonderful viewpoint.

The history of the site speaks for itself but does that really mean another establishm­ent cannot replace the original.

These people could enter ‘name and address supplied’ but it seems many like to see their names regularly in print.

I wonder how many of them stating it is taboo that it stay as it is now, visited the old Castle Hill Hotel for their own enjoyment?

I am not persuaded by the cable car idea though.

The road up there is quite adequate with a passing point as it has been for donkeys years without major incident, though some individual­s, as previously printed in would disagree.
