She was born & raised in Durkar, so obviously she has first hand experience of the derpravity she speaks of.

In the words of the great Alan Partridge "Some People".

Although with journalistic skills like that I'm surprised she's not on the "BBC gravy train".....

Wakefield & Proud love this club love this City

Ditto.

Although I do find it funny on days of national exposure (semi final 08 ect) these same people suddenly come out of the woodwork with a new found grace of civic pride. Phonies, wannabes & self aggrandized attention seekers.

If she's a Jan Moir wannabe then the good news for her is she's on the right track!

Silly girl!

Ditto I love my City Wakefield for ever

Martin Kelner is interviewing the stuck up cow on radio Leeds tomorrow according to his Twitter thingy.

I wonder if she'll choose to retract any of the tosh she wrote last week, or attempt to justify it in some way?

Fortunately, her petty and mean-spirited article went largely ignored; the Festival was a massive success.

It's interesting how some people choose to attempt to divest themselves of their roots and in so doing, feel the need to criticise and denigrate the places they come from; unimaginitive and slightly pathetic, but still interesting.

Would like to rectify that problem

The success of the festival should really be the focus of attention here, rather than the immature blog post that sought to mock it. Sadly, it seems the young lady has found another vehicle to promote herself... unless Kelner is hosting a discussion about gay and lesbian communities and their lack of representation in the works of George Gissing. Hopefully, she'll get the 6AM slot, when most of us will still be tucked up in our beds, and she can spend her 15 minutes of fame enlightening truckers on the M62.

She will be on around 7:30

Excuse me but did she not disrespect our city in a national newspaper. We know the blog was immature but people believe what they read and the image of Wakefield will have been damaged. Outrage therefore is understandable and she most certainly should be the centre of attention on this post.

I am hugely proud of being a Wakefield Trinity fan and i can see that improvements are being made to the city centre, but parts of the city are an absolute shizzer hole, filled with some of the scrotiest no hopers i have ever seen.
That said these problems are all a result of a social and economic free fall over the last 20 years, maybe she should address these issues in her paper, many of whos readers are actively involved in these failing areas of our society.
