Nowt wrong with a clip around ear
❑ Back in the 60s I was caught in a derelict building by a police officer who gave me a clip around the ear. He then took me home to my parents where my dad gave me a good hiding for as he called it bringing the police to the door. I never did it again. LEO F.
❑ Well said Janet Tracy. First sensible comment I’ve read in this paper for ages. Bring back discipline. Save the country. Gary Swindon
❑ Ok someone explain this to me. Why are kids today allowed to get away with hitting their parents, yet if one of the parents hit their kids social services get involved. It never did me any harm to have a smack. I behaved a lot better than the kids I see today.

❑ JEREMY HUNT said the ‘Tories will always be the party who champion pensioners. Really? Cutting NI twice pensioners don’t pay NI at retirement age. Ravaged by the cost of living especially food and fuel they do pay tax. A 6 yr freeze hits the full state pension of 11500 a year Pensioners only need another 1070 of income to hit £12570 personal allowance. Nearly 10 million pensioners pay tax this year twice the number of 14 yrs ago. His next tax cut fairly should be pensioners. The UK sees a smaller % of its GDP given to state pension far less than most other advanced economies. Brian Linford Pontefract

I’ll be voting for an independant candidate in the Greater Manchester Mayoral elections as a protest vote. If more people make protest votes at the Local and Mayoral elections, it may send a much needed message to the main political parties about how disillusioned people are with them.
