Something stinks in Blackpool

Anger and distaste runs wild in Blackpool as it has been announced that the Council is to be the major financier to the development of the Pleasure Beach.
With the Promenade, still a building site, the area looks more like 1942 inner London than the most prestigious resort in Britain.
What has angered the Blog Brigade is that the meeting of the Finance Committee was attended by 6 councillors only. One of whom, Councillor Lily Henderson MBE, was the subject of one of her treasurers' hasty resignation when he learned that she had delayed the announcement of funding into her election campaign, from no other than Mr Geoffrey Thompson, the late owner of the Pleasure Beach. Politicians may think that this is fair practice, but subsequent events in that cesspit called Westminster showed that this arrogance is not what the ordinary, decent citizen demands. The cry that Councillor Henderson did nothing wrong misunderstands the mood. Jack Dromey and his evil party may have short memories and treat the electorate as idiots, but one day the worm will turn.
The Conservatives ought to have banished evil Labour from our shores for at least a decade but they ignored the murmurings over questionable funding. This should be proof enough that sufficient people were so riled that they would not accept the tainted candidate offered to Blackpool South for the last general election.
This announcement proved again that there is very little transparency in politics.
I await with enthusiasm the call from the council threatening to take me to court for libel as the agents of Councillor Peter Callow allegedly did with Philtheone, hence his blog being removed from the internet. So much for freedom.
I have just added that Councillor Ian Fowler is said to have picked up the contract for the scallolding of the new enterprise. Nice going for a new company.(Read more)
