“I would have thought that the fact that I find the NEP to be an incompetent rag would be a better reason to comment than simply nodding sagely along with a newspaper with which I happened to agree.

As for the Post just reporting the news, not creating it, I would suggest that you read the way they choose to report things a little more critically, particularly their rather nasty attempts to appeal to a lowest common denominator in trying to stir up a response.”

“FW. If you consider the NEP incompetent and sleazy why are you visiting and commenting on their website? NEP report the local news as it happens, they don't make the news!
I hope Mrs Needham feels better soon and manages to put this terrible ordeal behind her.”

“"People in glass houses...... "

Will end up with a huge gas bill?

Shouldn't take showers?”

“Educatation system?

People in glass houses......”

“What is this strange fascination with anecdotes bemoaning the dreadful state of Nottingham. how bad its services are, etc, etc? Yes, bad things happen in this city and they are appalling, but actually many fewer than a lot of other cities if you look around. I guess there is just some weird masochistic delight in gratuitously urinating on your own carpet. And maybe not every city has a tabloid as incompetent and sleazy as the NEP to rub everyone's nose in it.”

“Yhea this governments terrible. Look at what they've done to the educatation system. You only have to read the previous post for evidence of that!!!!!!!!!!! :D”

“this sick bas///ted wants catching very quickerly before it hapens again rotten scumbag some think wants to be done but this goverment is useless big grime rates muckkings stapings murders rape what else high taxes high liveing prison holiday camps when i left school i had call up papers to go in the army but times as now changed goverment was better the poice are under paid for the work they do for us i just hope this scum bag meets is match and rotts in hell i hope also the police catch him also i hope this poor old lady recovers”

“Why do people hasten to criticise the police,the moment a serious crime hits the media?...... Surely given the circumstances this poor lady has endured, we should all offer them our full support and encouragement !. Could it be that such idiots, have an unsavoury past to hide?......
Sadly, this despicable act on such a vulnerable lady, reflects upon life in Britain today. We should all be lobbying our politicians for change, to ensure that punishment is proportionate to the crime. Currently there is no effective deterrent, and crime appears to be heavily biased to the offender....
Unless such action is not forthcoming, then we shall all be living in constant fear !.
Finally, my thoughts are with the lady in question, and I pray that she soon recovers both mentally and physically.......”

“I think that every community officer in nottinghamshire should be made to sit and go through every ctv camera pictures in nottingham until this lowlife is caught. Instead of pathetic littering fines they should be earning their money. If this was done he would be soon caught. Then publish is name and address in newspapers, give him no police protection and let the community do its work.”

“I only hope that the scumbag that did this suffers at the hands of karma. If there were any justice in the world this lowlife would develop some terrible disease that cripples them with pain every waking moment.

I would start by looking at the bank cctv tapes, bit of a coincidence that she gets robbed at the moment she has so much money on her.”
