I don't really know about holiday makers/daytrippers because I avoid the seafront and town centre during high season. As the nearest seaside resort, WsM has been a popular destination for Brummies ever since the railway came here in1841.![]()

The club being caught out trying to excuse themselves is quite another
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has pledged that if his party took control of further councils in May's local elections, it would ensure council tax rises in those areas would be lower than in those run by any of the other parties...Erm. Haven't RacistUK-led councils announced the highest caahncil tax rises in the country?

...Speaking ahead of a rally in Leeds on Tuesday, Farage claimed councils run by Reform UK since last year's local elections had already saved "tens of millions" of pounds.Hasn't this already been proved false? Why, yes! Yes it has.
