Another pier up in smoke. Two scumbags arrested.

Being a shithole really isn't the point though, is it?

Gotta say I agree here with Moley.

The council really couldn't give a shit about it. They refused to help fund it, and then wouldn't approve plans by Ravensclaw to redevelope it completely, so the council are hypocrites for pretending to cry about it burning down.

I'd much rather be down the road in Eastbourne. :lol: We went to Hastings about a year or so ago and it had turned into the biggest dump I can recall! It sure weren't like that when I was a kid...

Strange?!

I've only been there on family days and had a quick saunter around the pier / local pubs but didn't play anything. I know it's got a reputation as an old-folks place, but it's not a bad town I tell ye. :)

arson, failing real estate... it is the oldest trick in the book.
you can bet the council has a slice of insurance interests too.
i'm a cynic but what they have allowed to happen is scandalous.
nobody ever wins on those things.
