Chernobyl.Independent councillor Paul Hayhurst made the comment during a debate about devolution when he warned "prosperous" Fylde faced being swallowed up by Blackpool which “looks like Chernobyl no matter how much money you put in there.”Chernobyl, for those of you in the back, is famously the site of the 1986 Soviet nuclear disaster which has left the city irradiated and abandoned to this day.Naturally, Councillor Hayhurt's comments went down like a cup of warm sick over in the seaside resort.LancsLive reports that he was branded "disrespectful" and "sour grapes" in response by Blackpool Council’s Labour leader Lynn Williams.To matters even more insensitive, Blackpool resort regularly hosts children for holidays from Belarus, where families are still feeling the after effects of the 1986 accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power station.Coun Hayhurst's outburst came due to new recommendations for Fylde to support plans for a Lancashire-wide deal where authorities would work together to bid for government funding.He said: “I am convinced on that basis that the more co-operation we have with our neighbours down the road, the more this area is going to suffer.”He added: “Our friends down the road, the bottomless pit, could swallow £5bn overnight and it would still look like Chernobyl."Blackpool needs probably half its hotels knocking down and instead of rebuilding on greenfield sites, it needs redeveloping because it’s never going to be the sort of place it was in the ’40s, ’50s and ’60s.”He added Fylde was "a prosperous borough" while Blackpool “looks like Chernobyl no matter how much money you put in there.”But Coun Williams hit back and said Coun Hayhurst had clearly not visited the resort for a while.In a statement in

Will Thorne Staff WriterThe opening night of the Locarno Film Festival was led by a pair of rousing call to arms for the theatrical experience.Early on it was rain, rather than COVID-19, which threatened to put a dampener on proceedings, as sodden conditions in the famous Piazza Grande forced the world premiere of “Beckett” indoors. However, ironically, the comments made by the Netflix film’s lead John David Washington felt even more powerful in front of a vast, crowded indoor theatre.Asked how he found playing the film’s central character, an American tourist who gets caught up in a deadly manhunt, Washington had a blunt, yet thoughtful response.“Stressful,” Washington began, to a titter from the crowd.

Peter Debruge Chief Film CriticJohn David Washington shot “Beckett” before last summer’s “Tenet” put the actor on a short list of potential action figures. But when it comes to this considerably more modest, Greece-set manhunt movie — which kicks off the Locarno Film Festival before releasing via Netflix on Aug.

For a film in which John David Washington lurches, staggers, stumbles, shambles, flounders, falters, wobbles, scrabbles and totters across an entire Greek province, getting shot, stabbed, cuffed (often in the very same already broken arm), punched, beaten, chased and stung by bees, is in two-car crashes but also gets hit by a car, escapes in the trunk of a car, gets in a taser fight in a car and eventually falls from a great height onto a car, “Beckett” sure is dull.

A great comic book movie requires a lot of elements to fall into place. You need a great special effects team, at least one compelling hero or antihero to rally behind for two hours, and a snappy script peppered with engaging action.

Nick Vivarelli International CorrespondentItalian director Ferdinando Cito Filomarino first made a splash in Locarno in 2010 when his atmospheric short “Diarchia,” starring Louis Garrel, Riccardo Scamarcio and Alba Rohrwacher, scooped the Leopard of Tomorrow prize and went on to earn an honorable mention at Sundance.
