Boris bigging up Blackpool

[Matesrates]

At the spring conference, went for a run on the beach this morning, better than the Caribbean he said, looking at all the new hotels going up, the new tram system, the multiversity, investment bringing in tourists.

 

[southshore]

Didn't jog down Central drive, then?

 

[Johnno]

Didn't jog down Central drive, then?

You sprint down Central Drive, if you jog you get your trainers nicked.

 

[Trammo]

At least Boris knows he is in Blackpool. Abattoir would have said Bognor.

Shame the prick didn’t run into the sea

Just when you need a real life Alan Bradley moment

 

[southshorepool]

[Matesrates]

Can’t do any harm though, publicity and good publicity as well.

We???

 

[1966_and_all_that]

The more media attention that Scott Benton gets, the better I feel.

 

[Wizaard]

We had Scott Benton and the Transport minister visiting Blackpool airport yesterday.

So the MP for the constituency including Blackpool Airport was in the vicinity? I should think so.

My local MP was doing her constituency surgery this afternoon as well.

So what progress is being made then?

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Perhaps he'll announce a plan for the northern railways to rival that for London. Perhaps he's arranged for the RAF's crack pigs squadron to do a fly-by.

 

[L’étranger]

Are they opening a bookies at the airport?

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

All in the pipeline.

 

[Walthamstow_Seasider]

All in the pipeline.

So in other words.....none

In the vicinity?
The transport Secretary was invited down to Blackpool airport by Scott Benton after a debate in Parliament about Blackpool airport on Wednesday.
Do keep up.

Will it be locals benefitting?

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Depends if they like travelling.

Not in that order though.

Nobody is saying there is. Its being sold down the river though, but as long as someone flys a flag you're happy.

Rome wasn’t built in a day.

And neither was the Elizabeth Line.

If he actually believed what he says. I can't help feeling that he says what he wants his audience to hear.

Don’t pack yer bags just yet.

 

[Shandypants]

A more disingenuous individual you couldn't wish to meet. Better than the Caribbean? Yes Blackpool has its good points but he's taking the piss saying stuff like that and some of you lap it up.

 

[Wizaard]

Don’t pack yer bags just yet.

Unless you've got your own plane.

 

[Wizaard]

If this conference had been in Brighton he'd have been saying it was better than the Caribbean.

The man tells you what you want to hear, and u turns more frequently than an Alpine pass.

 

[Archibald Knox]

Brighton is crap. You can’t jog on the beach... it’s shingle.

 

[Wizaard]

Brighton is crap. You can’t jog on the beach... it’s shingle.

As demonstrated by Neil Kinnock all those years ago.

 

[Terminallytangerine]

Blackpool beach is much, much better. There is nothing wrong with Blackpool or its people who will I am confident show Ladbroke's Spiv the door at the next election.

 

[P t Barnum]

Like you could believe a word he comes out with

 

[tommytwojags]

Yes, Bond Street and Central Drive need to be demolished and re-built, but it's sad that people are so keen to condemn Blackpool. I love the place.
