3. My New Year’s resolution is not to vote in elections
Macclesfield Express, Wednesday 13 December 2006I'VE made a decision not to vote in future elections for any of the established political parties.

9. The Express is some people’s last hope
Macclesfield Express, Wednesday 22 November 2006SOME of the letters I receive are heart rending.
