Sometimes I'll have a flick of the paper, and it's alright to find out about events, but it doesn't address the issues which people really care about. Seems a huge waste of money.

The budget for Hackney Toady and its trappings approaches £1 million. Its very presence threatens the viability of independent media.
It is Pravda.

Completly agree with Andrew, I forced Hackney council to stop delivering this awful propaganda sheet to me.
Other people ought to do the same, if enough opt out they will have close it down.
