THE STIRRER…FIRST WITH THE NEWS

29-12-2006

One again The Stirrer has scooped the local media…in one case getting a story more than a month ahead of our local rivals.

We thought we were doing well when our story about John Hemming being threatened with legal action by North Staffs Hospital was followed up yesterday in the Birmingham Post - a mere 24 hours after it appeared on our website. >>> here

Then there was our item about Sandwell Councillor Bob Piper's controversial David Cameron spoof - which was followed up by, among others, the BBC, Sky News and Central. >>> here

Even we were shocked though by the story in last night's Express and Star about segregated swimming lessons in Wolverhampton - this wasn't news to Stirrer readers who saw it here first more than a month ago on the 21st of November. >>> here.
