How are Batley people, without internet access, going to contact The News quickly for letters and comment printing in the next edition? Phoning in? I doubt that will be straight forward or reliable.
Being able to express your self through letters and comment in the press is one of Britain's tenets of free speech, to stifle it in any way detracts from the nations principles.
If the Batley News office is closed, The Press will chalk up another victory in their own pedantic way.
