I WOULD like to congratulate the Northern Echo on Friday’s comment “Overhaul a tired system” about reforms to our democratic system, with which I couldn’t agree more.

I also heartily agree with Monday’s article by Peter Barron “Bin there, done that”.

It really is disgraceful how much of our national so-called “free” press is dominated by extreme right-wing political views, which are not representative of the majority of British people.
