Glad the government has finally cottoned on to what we’ve known for years. Boris doing a great job.

I played at Blackburn Rugby Club for many years, which is right on the edge of " Blackburn with Darwen ", so much so, that two of the five pitches are actually in the " Ribble Valley " .... when I was asked to organise a reunion of former players from the Under 19's from 1979-83 a couple of years ago, I was astonished to find that only four out of the fifty four players I traced, still lived in the Borough ...
It says it all really ...

Says what? That it's any worse than Nelson, Brierfield, Burnley, Colne or Accrington?

It is a good job Cummings didn't commit suicide for all these lemmings around the country.

It's sad that some people think its OK to slur communities during a pandemic, they feel that rules regarding racism don't apply to them.

It's the condemnation and labelling of whole communities which I find lazy and annoying.

Positive cases in this area are highest amongst South Asian communities.
The more detailed data that is made available about where cases are spiking, the more effective the measures that can be taken to slow the infection rate.

You could ordinarily object on the comments section for the BBC article above. Unfortunately they choose which articles you can comment on and this isn’t one of them. Alternatively you could contact Faz Patel a community adviser who is quoted in the BBC article to dispute what he is saying.evensteadiereddie wrote: ↑Thu Jul 16, 2020 8:59 amIt's the condemnation and labelling of whole communities which I find lazy and annoying.

I dont see any correlation between your condemnation of a specific community for "rules don’t apply to them" and the BBC article which highlights that some Asian communities are badly affected. You do know there are other socioeconomic factors involved here?Blackrod wrote: ↑Thu Jul 16, 2020 12:38 pmYou could ordinarily object on the comments section for the BBC article above.

I know it's often meant in jest (often not though too) but I honestly don't understand the need to denigrate other local areas. Yes Blackburn may be our nearest local rival but the type of comments above about it being a horrible place help perpetuate the myth and then that impacts upon perception for those further away, building on the outside world image that East Lancashire should be avoided.
It's a beautiful part of the world, it has its problems but so does anywhere.
To seek investment and growth places need to work together, people need to work together and lose the negative mentality and the seeming need to hate.
Face it, in 100 years with urban sprawl it's probable it will be one city/town.
I think some people need to see the bigger picture.

Blackburn is a shithole, that's not because I'm a claret that's because I live in it, and see it every day, and lot's of other people who live in it who are not clarets also say so, as I say again that's not in any way being biased, it's reality because I live in it, most of it for starters is rat infested. Work it out.Awayfromburnley wrote: ↑Thu Jul 16, 2020 12:55 pmI know it's often meant in jest (often not though too) but I honestly don't understand the need to denigrate other local areas.

If Blackburn has any redeeming features I've genuinely never found them. I haven't looked too hard to be fair and doesn't look like I will be in the near future. However, I'd be amazed if Daneshouse isn't suffering too and will cause Burnley similar problems soon. Not a criticism, I admire the community behaviour and the way the elderly are treated in these areas but in this case, it is a recipe for problems.
