There's a grain of truth in this, but it's a bit like a depressed person who gets no medical treatment until he attempts suicide. That doesn't make suicide a good idea. It just shows how broken the system is.
Same with Burnley. Government money on its own can't fix all our problems. There will never be enough of it. Instead we need partnerships with the private sector. BNP activism makes Burnley look ugly. We need to create a positive image of Burnley that will make manufacturing companies want to invest here. That image has to be based on reality. That means cleaning the streets, controlling anti-social behaviour and having something to be proud of and to aspire to.
Positive feelings are fairly easy to have when you put your mind to it, and feeling good about our home town is as good a place to start as any.
