Rants and Raves
Migrant workers - Sabrina: "Get on with life. Get on with each other. Simple as."

Wrexham's £100m development - Roz: "It is a blot on the landscape, and the shops in the town centre will be the ones who pay the price when they close and the employees lose their jobs."

'For Flint night life go to Mold' - Quimby: "I went out a few weeks back on a Friday and went in the George - two other people in there. Most other pubs were dead. Look what's going on in Mold..."

War photographer
