Meet Tom Petty – the Shropshire Star’s latest recruit.
Tom’s joined us to wage war on ridiculous red tape and ludicrous legislation.

So if you have an example of bureaucracy gone mad or health and safety overkill, Tom wants to hear from you.
You might have been told you cannot buy beer at your local supermarket even though you are in your 50s, or been warned by a council official over the way you fill your wheelie bin.
Whatever it is, if petty officialdom has got under your skin, Tom wants to know all about it.

I just had to check I hadn’t clicked on the Daily Mail when I saw this nonsensical piece of ‘journalism’.
I’m glad I only read this paper on line tese days & not pay for lazy kneejerk stories like this.

I clicked the link thinking it was on opportunity to meet Tom Petty, the excellent American Rock Artist, only to find it was another piece of pointless journalism. Are you looking to convert the Shropshire Star into an evening version of the Daily Mail, if so I will cancel the delivery.
