In a scene played out across homes across the country inthe first week of January, Martin Coles from Rotherham was anticipating a small glimmer of joy amidst the post-Christmas gloom, when he remembered there was still an unfinished box of Celebrations in the kitchen cupboard. But anticipation turned to despair as he removed the lid to reveal that the half a dozen remaining chocolates all had a familiar blue wrapper. “I was absolutely gutted” he said, “the only chockies left were bleedin’ bastard bollocking Bounties…and I don’t usually swear.” An undercover investigation by The Rotherham Bugle has revealed that the coconut confection is the last in the box in 9 out of 10 packs of Celebrations. Most of the time they’re either foisted off on work colleagues, fed to family pets or dumped with the box. Occasionally they’re eaten at parties by people too drunk to know or care what they’re consuming. The Bounty is the black sheep of the family, the runt of the litter and the one bad apple in the barrel all rolled into one. It has to stop. It's important we do this now, so that the makers Mars can get their act together before next Christmas so that it doesn’t become another festive fiasco on the chocolate front. Let’s work together to banish the Bounty from Celebrations once and for all.

Its important because doing hard graft at 65 is bad enough never mind 70... Manual workers shouldn't be made to work till their 70 its a disgrace. Sit behind a desk yes... but digging roads, on roofs etc is a disgrace. They have worked long enough at 65!!

One of the joys of the World Cup is to watch - or try to watch - every game and develop favourites throughout the tournament. 48 teams is counterproductive to that and is just a moneymaking ploy by an organisation which never learns its lesson.

Because they are flouting the law and putting innocent people in danger with their actions.

We the public need to have confidence in our ministers and the NI Assembly and also OFMDFM. This cannot be done without a Independent Public Inquiry to restore that confidence.

The consequences or a company's deliberate avoidance of healthcare measures (such as NOx control measures) must be punishable by compensation and/or costs to all affected parties. The NHS and taxpayers should not have to carry the bill for this type of profit enhancing avoidance measure. In this particular case (VW 'dieselgate') it seems likely that the NHS will be the largest single financial loser and should therefore seek to recover costs.

Climate change is the single biggest threat to our economy, our way of life and our very existence, and it's now urgent. To not prioritise it, above all other considerations, is a gross dereliction of the government's responsibility to ensure the safety of the people of the United Kingdom and the wider world.

Though those of us with acquired brain injuries used to be entitled and I myself had a bus pass until it ran out, the council changed the criteria about brain injury saying it had to be from birth. My brain injury happened when my beloved late wife Tracy Kimble - who suffered from clinical depression - killed herself and our pet dog and in doing so left me with carbon monoxide poisoning. I had to accept retirement from work due to memory problems and have my small pension topped up by income support.

This is important because there are hundreds of thousands of people around the world suffering this horrendous affliction and we are being ostracised and denied treatment. We are frightened to speak out for fear of being sectioned because psychiatrists threaten to use the mental health act this illness is physical we need it to be taken serious as this can only be looked on as lawful genicide if not treated. It's also important because thousands are terrified to talk about this affliction for fear of their family and friends ostracising them i have personally been threatened with the mental health act if i dont take the antipsychotic drugs against my will this needs to stop today right now we are all sufferring because the medical profession refuse to test us for Lyme disease which can show if we have Morgellons we get refused many blood tests that could be of great help this is why it's important to validate this microscopic pathogen that destroys the human body slowly but surely. It is important as Human rights are being infringed ! All based on fact. William Windsor-King January 2017

We do not allow an animal to suffer, how can it be possible to allow human beings to die in agony, or pumped full of drugs so they are unaware of anything or anyone, and become a vegetable causing suffering to family and friends, and loved ones are "Legally"persecuted for assisting a loved oneto end their life, when it should be a legal right to do so.

When a company increases its value by growing its business organically it is through the joint efforts of its workforce and shareholders.  Profits reinvested are wages forgone by the workforce as well as dividends forgone by shareholders; moreover customer goodwill is created and sustained by the workforce. But at present only existing shareholders profit from a gain in company value and the contribution of the workforce is unrecognised. A modest annual grant of shares to all employees would redress this injustice.

We call for an assurance from Northern Rail that there will be no fare increase till 2018. In August 2016, an off-peak return from Rochdale to Manchester was £4.30, on September 3rd 2016 it increased to £4.90 and in January 2017 - it went up again to £5.40. On average, fares have risen by 2.3% - considerably higher than inflation. Councillor Andy Kelly and local Liberal Democrats will present this to Northern Rail and Transport for Greater Manchester at the end of February. Please sign and send a clear message that we will not accept any fare increases till AT LEAST January 2018.
