Trying to read an article is like an endurance test, which can push some people to insanity. Battle videos, ads, pop-up messages to swipe, to read more, to subscribe - but press on them and more jokes... See more

Click bait garbage written by half wit journalists with zero journalistic effort. Most stories are bullsh1t and sensationalist. Use some crappy weather app that is so inaccurate to give weather report... See more

Too much misleading clickbait: Warning this....Beware that.....Everyone something or other need to do this by such a date. Then articles turn out to be non-news overflowing with scam ads.

Rage inducing

Trying to read an article is like an endurance test, which can push some people to insanity. Battle videos, ads, pop-up messages to swipe, to read more, to subscribe - but press on them and more jokes on you as the page dissappears and reappears back at the top where you have to run the whole gauntlet again, inevitably accidentally pressing on a preposterous click bait link which has no discernable purpose- who are they actually for? If you persevere and keep reading the article you will find its a total load of tosh presumably written by an illiterate rage-baiting bot.

Scaremongering headlines aimed at the…

Scaremongering headlines aimed at the elderly AGAIN. Numerous times the headline has intimated that the government will be deducting funds from people’s bank account mainly connected to the repayment of WFA. NO. The government cannot directly do that, firstly a process has to be gone through (change of tax code which is a notifiable action etc) before the repayment process starts. I thought that the idea was to inform people in a timely manner, not to scare the hell out of them with inflammatory clickbait headlines.

Extremely bad news outlet

Extremely bad news outlet. They now advertise on everyone's mobile phones and tablets, but you click on their icon they are immediately demanding money ! It is time the users were paid by them for advertising on our communications equipment, especially mobile phones and tablets. Google immediately stop putting this on my mobile phone. I don't want their advertisements either. It to block and report them.

Shouldn’t be classed as journalism

I sometimes wonder if the writers draw headlines out of a bingo machine: “200 counties to be lashed by storms”, “drivers face £10,000 fines for sneezing at the wheel”, “Britain to melt next week”. It’s like a sitcom, except without the jokes — or maybe the joke is on anyone still reading.

Why can’t they proof read their stories…

Why can’t they proof read their stories before posting? It’s lazy. I’m sick of seeing stories every day with typos. Particular ones written by James Rodger. I’d have got the sack for producing sloppy work! It’s not hard to quickly read through what you’ve written is it?

Racist infected "news" outlet

Terrible "news" outlet that continously allows racists to post their hateful comments without adequate moderation. Yet they will instantly block anyone that dares to challenge them.

Inaccurate garbage like all the other 'Live' websites

The Moses Mukuna HMRC piece...states,
"...The Labour Party government's tax arm has deducted tens of thousands from Moses Mukuna..."....HMRC is not the Labour Party government's tax wing, it's a long established government department with the responsibility of collecting tax and customs duty irrespective of the political party in government.
Typical of the inaccuarate, badly written garbage that these 'Live' websites purport to be news.

Third grade click bait posts

Third grade
I used to visit Birmingham Mail for local updates. Now it’s full of misleading headlines and articles that barely say anything. The site is overloaded with ads, pop-ups, and pointless filler.

Birmingham deserves real journalism. This isn’t it.

Dreadful awful amateur app

Dreadful awful constantly getting ‘Page not available’ adverts covering pages, I used to buy the newspaper but they hiked the price to over £2.00, so now I’m using neither
