    That's what money buys you . The cron should have stayed impartial instead of taking the couple of thousand pounds thats been thrown their way .

    Did the same two years ago with the conservatives.

    Haven't read the paper since.

    The money is of little consequence. Just look who owns the chronicle to understand why they choose to support these parties.

    Be that this bell end, baby troll head or corbyn, the Barnsley chronicle should not be shoving politics down people’s throats. Absolutely ridiculous.

    FTC!

    Today and forever more. This has crossed a line for me. Get in bed with bigots and racists if you want, Barnsley Chronicle. You've had your last penny from me.

    Totally agree no place for that for any political party - but of all the parties - sorry companies to promote that takes some beating

    I dont like Farage and the Brexit Party is a really bad one trick pony.

    But even if you do not agree with their politics you have to give them credit.

    They are doing something that I havent seen from any other party and attempting to engage with the voting population of Barnsley.

    I’m afraid I’m going to have to find out who has died some other way.

    I genuinely had no idea it was still a physical paper. Is it still 6 feet wide and 4 foot long?

    They’ve bought space. Wonder where the money came from!

    And yet are doing more to engage with the Barnsley public than the others put together.

    In seats they have little or no chance of winning.

    Fair play to them.

    I used to buy the paper every week. But after that spread with May a couple of years ago I stopped buying physical copies but still read online.

    Now this I wont have anything to do with the paper at all, The Sun and The Chronicle are now on my $hit list!

    So far, they are the only ones to make any contact with me. Their flyer came through the door yesterday.

    It went straight in the bin, mind, but they tried at least.

    That's disgraceful in fairness. I thought they were better than that.

    It's not about the Brexit Party, its about the Chronicle.

    As mentioned a few times before in this thread, the paper was permanently stained when they advertised the Conservative party in their paper a few year ago.

    What’s up with it? It’s only bad if you don’t support the Brexit Party which I do so good on Barnsley Chron
