What’s he been up to?!?
Indeed should have been chased out with the Oystons he supported them long enough.Wretched cretin should be run out of town.
Unfortunately, football plays very little part when it comes to electing people into office. So as much as we all despised Blackburn on here for pretty much siding with the Oystons that played no part in the wider issue of electing the leader of Blackpool council. And is really why Andy Higgins failed to get elected.As an exile I’ve never quiet understood how he kept getting elected given the Obvious animosity and clear lack of quality.

But... do you like him ???
I'm certainly not the best person to ask. Generally though, he's a labour councillor in a strong labour ward so in that respect it's very much a safe seat. I guess people on the whole vote for either red or blue and pay little attention to what is actually happening in the town. Whether the buck stops with him, I'm not sure, but in these times of supposed council budget cuts coming from govt, it seems that Blackburn has wasted millions of pounds of council money by failing to plan properly for what is needed. My biggest instance is the Talbot Rd fiasco. Personally I don't think we need a tramline running from the train station a couple of hundred yards down to the Promenade but even allowing for that, the sheer number of times Talbot Rd has been dug up and re-laid is sheer incompetence on the councils behalf.Ive no real opinion on him as I’ve lived away from the Fylde Coast for 11 years now and I’ve only really heard snippets about him on here, the Gazette and a handful of family members. So I’m genuinely puzzled about how he lasted so long as he was clearly not very well liked.

They got in this time with a vastly reduced majority, hopefully in 4 years time they will be out altogether.No it’s interesting to hear about it from someone living in the town. Sad really that people only vote along party lines regardless of talent or merit. I also imagine it was an incredibly low voting turn out and lack of any challenge.
Blackpool North has had a Tory MP for the last 10 years and Labour held South for 22 years.They got in this time with a vastly reduced majority, hopefully in 4 years time they will be out altogether.
Let’s not forget the town had its first Tory MP for 30 years at the last election.
Not anymoreLabour Party fella is he then?
Not living locally I personally know little about Councillor Blackburn except that I have read many posts about him on here and I can honestly say I can`t ever recall a single poster who had anything good to say about him so on that basis and also with his continuous support of the Oyston`s, which tells you all you need to know about the man, I would hope Blackpool will soon be rid of him once and for all.
Yup. Theres some various articles around about it -Waltham Forest which has connections with Imposter BASIL.Is he still in a relationship with Cllr Coghill from down south.
