    A couple of headlines from today's Blackpool Evening Gazette ... Woman left with ‘significant injuries’ after being attacked by group of thugs on Egerton Road in Blackpool. Her mobile phone was stolen during the attack... Man approached by gang armed with knife near Coral Island arcade in Blackpool

    Brexit meant that northern towns. cities, like Blackpool were going to be economically better off and with the tories promising to level up too, it was going to be a win win scenario. In reality, those that voted for Brexit and the Tories were shafted good and proper. It was never going to happen and even Rishi was caught on camera saying that he had taken money away from deprived areas and given it back to those previliged areas in the UK.

    Really interesting perspective from those native to Blackpool. Sad to see so little investment in the 'back yards' of such a hallmark of our nation. I hope it picks up for everyone, truly (although I can't see Starmer et al doing much...), I hope Blackpool receives the help it needs to get back to prosperity. Sending best wishes from Scotland 💙🤍💙

      Well, the nicely restored Blackpool Tower, the whole seafront including the beach and the coastal protection, including the coastal road = was paid with EU subsidies...still 75ish % of Blackpool voted for Brexit...as the major of Blackpool stated "without the EU subsidies ALL of this would have been crumbled by now".

    Blackpool decided, some decades ago, to cash in on the pink pound and be the Brighton of the North. Problem was, what few families that where still coming to the resort, stopped and it's been in a death sprial ever since. The Talbot road gateway, leading from the station to the prom, is getting ever more run down and all you need to do is go a couple of streets back from the prom to see what a mess the town's in. It's depressing to think what it was like in the 80's and 90's compared to the state it's in now.

      Asylum seekers are housed in the poorest areas, by central government, because it's cheaper than housing them in the home counties, where wealthy Tory politicians live. The next Labour government will be a glimmer of hope for the entire nation, including those who are desperate and feared, by people who are unable to use punctuation.
