An alt right guy used a 2-minute video to suggest ‘Blackpool isn’t Blackpool’ anymore and got entirely the takedowns he deserved
Here’s someone called David Vance – a big fan of Donald Trump, he’s also the co-founder of something called AltNewsMedia – and anyway, he’s not a fan of Blackpool, it turns out.
And he had a two minute video to show why (you can probably guess already).

Now we wouldn’t ordinarily bother you with him, but the takedowns made it all worthwhile, of which these are just a few.
1.
3.3% of blackpool’s residents are ethic minorities. So what this video really shows is Asians from across the north west supporting their local economy rather than jetting off elsewhere. Blackpool must be very grateful.

Blackpool will always be Blackpool, and it’s the visitors who make Blackpool what it is. It’s open to everyone. You’ve no right to say that, people from Blackpool and I grew up there say “C’mon down to the sea and dip your toes” #GoldenMile

Dave, let me see if I understand: You're not happy with people from ethnic minority backgrounds doing that most British thing of going to Blackpool on a sunny day? You're not happy with these people spending money at a British tourist destination? Or you're just a racist bellend? https://t.co/vuFIVWsI8Y

Right? You can’t even go for a day at the seaside without some creepy fucking white supremacist filming you to make some shitty racist point or other to his horrible, knuckle-dragging followers.
Weren’t like that in my day.

Hey Dave, I just checked on Google Maps and you’ll be relieved that Blackpool is still Blackpool.

And this.
Hello, I grew up in Blackpool and the scene depicted here is lovely. So much better than the endemic drug abuse and violence that used to plague the town.
