Bernard Ingham, my nemesis, has died, aged 90. Born and raised in Hebden Bridge, he began his journalistic career as a junior reporter on the Hebden Bridge Times. In later years he penned a regular column in the paper, though, since he lived in Purley, he had little idea of what was going on in the Calder valley. He complained about the influx of gays and lesbians, and even, bizarrely, that there were too many trees. To keep his memory alive, the council is planning to fell a tree every year, on his birthday, June 21st.
