Blackburn has lost a truly remarkable member of the community.

The fifth and only female person charged with her murder has an interesting name.

So one British sounding name out a multitude of non British sounding names is interesting how exactly ?

Or is this just straw clutching ?

A couple of my pals are long serving Police officers in the Blackburn borough and they have a similar take on it over various areas. 

But of course the influx of people from different backgrounds and cultures only adds to the problems that were already there.

Hey ho though lets keep the borders wide open, everybody welcome. Every 2 good good doctors and nurses are balanced out by 10 economic scumbags. All contribute to the economy though so it's fine !

Blimey Tony. I don't suppose they fancy propping Rovers up?

I harbour some hope Andy that one day they will. I still believe though that the skeletons in the closets at Ewood are currently outnumbering season ticket holders.

The Issa brothers are leveraged up to their eyeballs with their EG Group having more than £8bn debts - do we really want them as owners and are they Rovers fans anyway? 

[Roving Mick]

Sadly, they're big manure fans.

They are playing hugely high risk stakes.

It is worth remembering the richest family in the world, the Waltons, couldn't make a go of Asda.

The only way the Issas make a success is by creating local monopolies between Asda and their forecourt shops and that means ripping off British consumers

It was interesting to see " Balaclava Street " on the BBC North west news last night. I lived on Carr Street, not far from there, until I was 5 and we moved to Rochdale. I'll always be a Blackburn lad. Getting off the bus or train at the Boulevard I always felt like I was coming home.

My parents had their wedding reception in the Balaclava pub back in the day. The building still stands, the pub sign is still there also or was last time I was in the area.

Their lads are 100% Rovers fans.

Thanks RV. That news at least offers me a glimmer of hope that we might one day be free of these wretched owners.

The current Chief Exec of Asda will be the first casualty, purely on the basis of his surname.

I can imagine owning Asda would be a huge headache.  Although expect them to pop up Asda express in all of the sites instead of Spar etc  6,000 new stores immediately

This could kill off Greggs and Spar
