20 years ago...

Post by MACCA » Wed Jun 23, 2021 9:12 am

Wow, I cant believe it was 20 years ago, how the town has changed for the better in such a short space of time.

Remember looking at the videos and pictures a while back, they were shocking scenes.

The Lancashire telegraph has been terrible for a long time, but that article takes some beating. Absolute codswallop.

That article is so bad. Do they even have professional reporters working at the LT any more or are they just hobbyist volunteers? It's literally a half baked chronicle of the incident, interspersed with a couple of largely irrelevant anecdotes and a conclusion from someone who admits they don't even live here any more but the town might have changed a bit.

To be honest I'm not sure what I'm meant to have taken from that :?

One of those articles that they’ll probably hope gets a few comments/arguments on social media.

It was a grim few days in Burnley back then - the town has moved on a hell of a lot since then!!

What a shockingly amateurish piece of “ journalism “ there’s no way in holy hell a proper hack has written that .
