That chap is an oxymoron. The Sun is about as close to reporting the news as I am to an astronaut and I hate heights. LolI dont know how i have got through life. I have only ever bought one news paper, being the Sun, well also The Sport but that dont count a sit wasnt for the news, dont watch the news on TV. Dont watch crap on social media.
Very odd person hey haha but i am still here.

It's interesting... I look at a range of newspapers on Readly and online. What I have noticed is that most of the actual news stories are word for word identical to all the other publications. Warts 'n' all. That shows that they all scrape them from the same source, regardless of agenda or accuracy.
Yes you are spot on. They are fed from the same source. Or copied from the one fed bull crap.
I managed/followed the press reports for many years as the xpress and star turned against us in 2003.
Many officers refused to give details to them so they made the stories up.
We spoke to many officers who said apart from attacking us even when they gave the facts, when their facts were published it almost always ( unless it was a few lines in the middle of the paper) bore no resemblance to the truth or the facts.

What’s really interesting about this whole story is how we propel a sensational story that aren’t true.
The truth behind this story is so mundane that it’s not worth a mention (how many other things flapped around in the wind in the last few days).
In this case the ‘fire’ was so easily dis-proved, but what about all the times a sensational story cannot be easily dis-proved. Then we get aliens, yetis, Bigfoot….
The mundane reality behind most of these sensational stories wouldn’t get many clicks.

Went up the Blackpool tower once when I was about 12 with some mates on a school trip, we took great delight spitting nasty "grollys" on the unfortunate passers by in the street below
Children are just so adorable, aren't they...

That is because the Human condition abhors a vacuum. If something is a mystery, we rush to fill the vacuum with anything that satisfies it, especially if widely promoted. I offer religion as a fine example.

Blackpool has more urinals than anywhere else. They’re called doorways everywhere else mind.

I go as far as the airport, and occasionally fly over. Landing procedure is tactical landing, approach too low and someone will have the wheels off.
There’s a video on the inter web of a smack head walking around the sea front holding a seagull, just about describes the place in one hit

Meanwhile, people with Government connections make £50,000,000 selling unusable PPE and buying mega yachts with the proceeds and no-one notices. Ooh look, a squirrel!
Been to both several times and can honestly say that Gt Yarmouth is a genteel centre of culture in comparison.

We were burgled about 15 years ago, the missus arrived home and disturbed the intruder who run into the field. The wife called the cops they should have turned up immediately as the perp could have returned once they realised my wife was on her own, but they didn't.
The reason they gave was that all manpower was busy dealing with a load of drunks on the train from Blackpool, they unloaded them at Hebden Bridge to sober up. There's loads of bars in Hebden Bridge.......
I begrudgingly took the kids to the waterpark in Blackpool earlier this year. We went early and didn't hang around. I believe the people that are attracted to Blackpool share brain cells. It makes a post apocalypse landscape look attractive.

Having never been to Blackpool, I'm starting to think I haven't
missed much. You guys are really selling it.

Great Yarmouth is the only place ive actually seen real live jobbies and other toilet flushings floating in the sea!
Seem to remember Newquay wasnt much better with regard to clientele...
