Posted by admin / Under Blackpool (TV Serial)
For decades, children have enjoyed singing about the little donkey which is said to have carried the pregnant Mary to Bethlehem. Â The calendar features Lord Nelson forced to wear a life jacket But one group of young singers was ordered to change the traditional lyrics of the Christmas song - because they were said to be "too religious".Instead of "Little donkey, carry Mary safely on her way", the youngsters were told to sing "carry Lucy" for fear of offending non-Christians. The incident, at the school's Christmas concert, appears on a new calendar alongside 11 other examples of extreme political...

Council enforces ass laws
Posted by admin / Under Blackpool (TV Serial)
LONDON - For more than a century, teams of donkeys have carried tourists down the beach at Blackpool, one of Britain’s top tourist destinations. But only now are they to get a compulsory lunch break. As part of a wide-ranging "employment rights" charter for donkeys, Blackpool council inspectors are to carry out spot-checks on the beach to ensure the animals get a statutory hour off to munch their hay. The 200 animals working at the coastal resort in northwest England ferry tourists along the beach throughout the summer. Under the new rules, donkeys must only work from 10:00 am to...

Blackpool Donkeys to Get An Hour for Lunch (Worker's Rights, Fridays off, too)
Posted by admin / Under Blackpool (TV Serial)
Council inspectors are to do spot-checks on Blackpool donkeys to make sure they are getting their full lunch break, officials said today. Councillors discussed what a Blackpool donkey should get for lunch – and decided it should be about an hour. Licensing inspectors will now swoop on the sand to ensure no donkeys are missing out on their employment rights. The 200 animals, who are not in a union, must ferry tourists for rides along the resort’s beaches throughout the summer. Council rules state donkeys must only work from 10am to 7pm, have an hour off for lunch, and must...

Ananova: Blackpool councillor calls for ban on 'rock-willies' A politician wants police to ban sweets in the shape of penises from Blackpool's seafront. Councillor Mary Smith says Blackpool should copy Southport and launch a crackdown on obscene confectionery sold in shops. Sweet shop bosses in Southport were furious after police ordered them to remove the rude sweets from public view. The manager of the Southport Rock Shop, who did not wish to be named, told the Blackpool Evening Gazette: "Two male officers came in here and ordered me to take all the rock willies out of the window. "They said...

The blood-stained truth behind Clinton's fine words in Blackpool
Posted by admin / Under Blackpool (TV Serial)
Bill Clinton and John Major had more in common than either of them knew. If their past adventures expose a certain commonality (as distinct from commonness), their treatment this past week could hardly have been more different. One ex-leader is hailed as a hero at the Labour Party conference. The other is hounded by the media in Dallas. But this column isn't about sex. No, this is about power and the moral failure of high office. I had to struggle with some unpleasant memories when I watched Clinton launch into his polemic on foreign affairs. In case you missed it...

FRANK JOHNSON: Conference sketch (CLINTON IN BLACKPOOL)
Posted by admin / Under Blackpool (TV Serial)
As delegates excitedly awaited Bill Clinton in the packed and sweltering hall, word went around that, the night before, he had visited one of the charming little restaurants specialising in Blackpool cuisine (McDonald's). In the eyes of a Labour conference, this would normally make him a symbol of American corporate exploitation of the developing world (Blackpool).But, for some irrational reason, delegates had decided that Mr Clinton was one of their own. The great figures of New Labour stood near the platform waiting to be presented when Mr Clinton entered - like maharajahs awaiting the arrival of the King-Emperor in another...
