YOUR LETTERS - 12th JANUARY 2018


Your brilliant news service

I just wanted to write and say what a brilliant news service Cleveleys News is. There is far too much sex and violence in the media these days, but Cleveleys News is much more fun and interesting than either of these.

Library closures

I am absolutely appalled by the recent library closures. Its all very well saying people don't read books anymore because of the internet, but don't they realise some people do not have access to the internet? I for one have never used the internet, ever.

What a carry on

Why oh why has this country become obsessed with political correctness? Over the festive break I watched all of the classic Carry On films back to back. It took me right back to happier days when we were allowed to be entertained by Dame Barbara Windsor’s bra falling off without someone getting upset about it. These were happier times for men and women, you never heard Dame Barbara complaining of so-called ‘sexual harassment’. But if they tried to make another Carry On film today there would be public outcry from the ‘PC brigade’ who would no doubt complain that we shouldn’t be laughing at an 80-year old Dame of the British Empire’s breasts. Lets hope Brexit brings some sense back to the country and we can once again enjoy some ‘naughty postcard’ humour from Babs and whoever else is still alive from the team. I haven't bothered to check on the others.

NHS in crisis

Yesterday I went to my GP and was told that he couldn't prescribe me any medicines because there was nothing wrong with me. What sort of a financial state must the NHS be in that they can't even afford placebos anymore?

Lord of the Chance

Blackpool's amateur publication The​ Evening Gazette caught our attention today with a lengthy and detailed article about a thuggish attack in Blackpool. But this wasn't just your typical Blackpool brawl - incredibly the victim was a peer of the realm! From The Gazette 'Lord' Perry Harber, who "has a vast portfolio of nightclubs and bars and regularly holidays in Monaco" according to the Gazette article, claims he was hit over the head from behind with a full bottle of vodka by a gang in an alleyway behind Dickson Road, Blackpool on January 1st this year. The Gazette go on to list just some of Lord Perry Harber's amazing credentials and achievements. As Lord of the Manor of Glascombe, Harber "presides over almost 15,000 acres of land". He "has invested in a number of businesses in Lytham" and is a "businessman and charity fundraiser". Not to mention his incredible ability to identify the precise contents and volu

The Doctor Will Review You Now...

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. So says an old proverb. Well, local amateur publication The Gazette have certainly been fooled at least twice by charlatans that we at Cleveleys News immediately recognised and exposed. So shame on them. There was Barry Carr from Rossall Gate, Fleetwood, a member of the BNP dubbed “neighbour from hell” after he repeatedly harangued, harassed and fat-shamed the lady next-door. It made national news when Carr was given a ten week jail term suspended for a year and ordered to pay his victims £200 each in compensation. Gazette were also all over the story, but what they didn’t mention in their coverage was that they had been publishing Carr’s intolerant rants on their letters page for years. Former BNP candidate and @The_Gazette letters page mainstay Barry Carr has appeal bid rejected and his sentence increased. More pages for them to fill... pic.twitter.com/3aPtV9Ge6y — Cleveleys News (@cleveleysnews) February 6, 2018

Cleveleys isn't just a retirement town full of old codgers. Occasionally their younger relatives come to visit too. But there is much, much more to the town, so here are 15 things that you won't know about Cleveleys (unless you follow Cleveleys News).... 1. There's always a bargain to be had Cleveleys has more bargain shops than you can poke a walking stick at. It is home to the original B&M Bargains, as well as Home Bargains, Poundland, and a whole raft of similarly named independent shops. If you are looking for somewhere you can buy a loofah, some Wrights coal-tar soap, a pack of Cup-a-Soups with Arabic labelling and a blind bag of Moshi Monsters all under one roof, you've come to the right place. 2. It is the home of Mobility Scooter Jousting The annual sporting event which takes places in Morrisons car park has made celebrities out of local residents such as Colin 'Paladin' Brown and Ethel 'Ivanhoe' Jones.
