Hee hee - a good mocking job.
The experiences of my yoof, being persecuted by the local "hard lads", taught me that if you can't hit your way free of them the best approach is to mock them. You're going to get beat up anyway so you might as well do so with a good grace, a smile and a wicked riposte to their crude taunts and yells. The worst thing you can do is get hoity-toity about the unfairness of it all. It just encourages them (as seems to be the case with this "newspaper"). They hate to be laughed at.
Perhaps the link to this fine mockery of the sort of "journalist" who spews out these kinds of toxic gobs of bile could be posted en masse to the website forums or other public places of such "newspapers"?

No, the word's inventor, screenwriter Brent Butt.

No, the word's inventor, screenwriter Brent Butt.
That'll be why the earliest known use of the word was in 1944 - over 20 years before Brent Butt was born.

Why not - how else are you going to get out of the place?

There are so many places to visit in Wales, no need to leave the Principality (except when taking the train between north and south via Craven Arms )
Just like Lincolnshire

So you've never left Wales?
