Lancaster mayor's remedy for homelessness: 'Free fentanyl' and 'a purge‘

yahoo.com/news/lancaster-mayor

The mayor of Lancaster, Rex Parris, has ignited a controversy after musing during a council meeting that one approach to homelessness would be to "give them free fentanyl … all the fentanyl they want."

If you're in Lancaster, UK, this Good Friday & fancy a bit of a boogie, then you might want to call in at The Stonewell Tap (lower end of Church St.) for Prof DJ's night of disco....

Enjoy some great artisan beers, friendly staff & four hours of non-stop disco, dropping from 8.30 (I always start early), and all spun on vintage vinyl.

A great way to forget (for a while) the current sh*tshow.

In the 1970s Morecambe & Lancaster were combined into a single City Council, and fifty years later it is still causing all sorts of local (political) problems & contributes to often dysfunctional decisions & actions by the Council... so you can imagine, the idea that the 'answer' lies in combining with Preston & the Ribble Valley into an even bigger (more diverse) authority will be unlikely to be popular... but it may happen anyway?

Here in the environs of Lancaster we already have world-class broadband, courtesy of community broadband project (non-profit) Broadband for the Rural North (B4RN); now Lancaster & neighbouring urban areas' have a dedicated public sector broadband backbone for their own data heavy activity, partly built by B4RN in cooperation with other contractors.

NW Lancashire is avoiding the oligopoly of major broadband suppliers to keep our provision local!

If you're planning a night in Lancaster (UK) tonight and love 70's music, then Prof DJ has an evening of tunes for you.

Tonight at the Stonewell Tap (Church St. Lancaster) we'll be travelling back to wallow in the music of the 70s... from Mud to Gladys Knight, from Marvin Gaye to John Paul Young and more, escape from the sh*tshow for a couple of hours with some artisan beers & ProfDJ's curated sounds...

On my way to #lancaster for the funeral of my late BiL, Bob. I am advised that, as a young, recently elected #lancashire County Councillor Bob Clark, he introduced the first #recycling facilities in #england at County Council waste disposal sites

Bob died watching his beloved #PNE reach the #facup 4th round - a fitting way to go

Bob will be sadly missed but I’m looking forward to a celebration of a life well lived

Rest in power Bob

This week I've been mainly reading, no. 206.

Jenn Ashworth' novel Ghosted (2021), without spoiling the plot is about life breaking down and what we do about it (or not, as the case may be). Ashworth offers us a protagonist/narrator who not only we are not so keen on but who is full of self-loathing. However, as the book progresses & we find out more, things fall into pace & you'll likely become more sympathetic. I can't say more other than its a compelling read!
