The #MarkMenzies experience doesn't just stop at getting held hostage in a flat and begging a pensioner for the ransom money.
No, the drama is even more INTENSE.
"...In 2017, the Mirror reported [Menzies] had been quizzed by police over claims he got a dog drunk in 2015. He denied the allegation to the paper and said that he was cleared by police...."
#ScottBenton is, of course, notable for retweeting the official #GOP account when it gloated over the end of #RoeVsWade. He quickly undid this. I wonder why?
Anyway, said unsavoury character may have brought about another #ByElection. Perhaps this time, #Blackpool voters won't elect a #Tory just to spite themselves and the universe in general.
Accidental special effects: Loose orange netting creates an illusion of #Fire ontop of #Blackpool Tower.
"...Witnesses spotted "flames" coming from a metal section near the top of the famous landmark at about 14:15 GMT...
"...[Lancashire Police] added: 'What looked like a fire from a distance was in fact lights on a reflective netting surface at the top of the tower...'"
Much as I love Angela Ripon, she has had her ‘circle moment’ and #bbcstrictly have had their video moment with her back in #Blackpool , now can we continue to next week with the better dancers please?
The #housingcrisis in #Blackpool; its not just about the rent, in Blackpool all (ALL!) 18,000 private #rental properties have some sort of #mold problem!
This problem may be particularly bad in the seaside town for local reasons, but this is a common problem, compounded by #tenants fear fo complaining due to very real threat of eviction.
If the #Tories wanted a return to Victorian values, then they've certainly achieved it in #housing!
On Friday I went to see the Red Arrows land at Blackpool Airport. I was absolutely delighted to see them & pleased with the shots I got with my new camera as it was the third day out with it. I was shooting directly in the sun that's why they are back-lit.
The #Blackpool#Pelican has finally been found... In North #Yorkshire. Whether that is a commentary on the relative merits of #Lancashire and Yorkshire is open to debate.
Note how the news story assures the public that the said pelican was not dangerous, which adds a certain frisson to the unfolding events.
@anneapplebaum Reading about the destruction on the cathedral in #Odesa caused me to recall that #Blackpool was placed off limits to the Nazi military by Hitler.
