Christa Ackroyd and Jayne Dowle highlight kindness to put pathetic trolls in their place: Yorkshire Post Letters

A great strength of The Yorkshire Post is found in the weekly contributions from its formidable team of columnists. Nowhere is this better illustrated than in the writings of those two feisty ladies Christa Ackroyd and Jayne Dowle.

Both have recently spoken out against the nastiness of pathetic social media trolls. I am encouraged that you give these trolls scant publicity, especially at such a difficult time in our history.

On the contrary, these ladies have praised the astonishing acts of kindness shown by so many individuals towards those in need.

The quote from St Matthew ‘Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them’ is so appropriate as we fight the pandemic. My mother always said that if I couldn’t say a kind word about someone I shouldn’t say anything, and I like to think that Christa and Jayne would say ‘Amen’ to that.

A note of thanks to all of your columnists in the past year – I don’t agree with every word but they are so insightful that I hope they’re sent to Downing Street to be read and learned from.
