It's like a scene from a dystopian novel where there's a major catastrophe and everything comes to a grinding halt. Maybe there was a visit from alien body snatchers or even worse nobody had their measles jabs...

I would certainly support a Bring Back Rick campaign.
Me too, he wrote my favourite ever story on here...

Strangely enough Rick and Sophie combined to produce one of the Harold's most popular stories ever a week or so ago! http://eveningharold.com/2019/06/08/rees-mogg-admits-to-using-camphorated-tincture-of-laudanum-with-nanny/?fbclid=IwAR1NHaJ5Gnp6oy2c9Nyej9-qZqZJ91k5rzhgyF8Vo9W0bJAw_embfPdjtjY

The main issue facing the Evening Harold and other satire sites such as Newsbiscuit over the last 3 or 4 years is Mr Zuckerberg's brutal screwing down of the numbers of "followers" that see any sub / story posted. The Harold has something close to 15,000 FB followers and a post might only get released to 200 people's Newsfeeds. Facebook has a 'solution' to that, you can pay them to boost your post so it's released to more followers but that's a very uneconomical approach. The only way to 'beat' the Facebook system is to post really standout subs that get lots of likes and shares ... easier said than done! If a site posts uninspiring subs that don't get mass shares, the Facebook algorithm downgrades your site and the numbers of followers it allows to see your posts gets worse. While this oppressive Facebook control is just merely annoying for a hobbyist site such as the Evening Harold, it is much worse for more mainstream publishers who rely on Facebook for a big portion of their business.

Glad they're doing ok. Rick still pops up on my FB feed every now and then. Great chap – ought to be Tory party leader...
... although this also applies to virtually everybody apart from the twats in contention. Rory seems like a good cove though, not a bounder like Johnson.
