A FEW weeks ago the television companies and all the newspapers got a lot of mileage out of the riots in London and the subsequent damage done to buildings.
Writers to this column used such words as “criminal”, “mindless” and “animals” when describing the damage that was done.
Last week, this newspaper unearthed a story about a group of people who have planned to do some damage to a building in Crook, the Glenholme Leisure Centre.
Not only do these people want to damage the leisure centre they want to bulldoze it to the ground.
I wonder what all the TV companies, newspapers and writers think about that one.
John Phelan, Crook.
