Lancashire police have said that they are against an alcohol and music licence for a Blackpool swingers club.

The club, called Swapsies and based in Rose Street in the town, said that it could not afford to pay for a door steward, one of the conditions that the police cited for objecting to the licence.


However, Blackpool Council have the ultimate decision in granting the licence and the licencing committee have yet to meet.


David Rose, convenor of the committee, stated:  'Blackpool Council has not yet come to a decision regarding the application for a licence for this venue and will only do so after a six-month long feasibility study into the club and its practices. Now... where did I put my car keys...?'

'Yes, hooray, we now have a policy and it's a big juicy one.


'After months in the wilderness with no policies, the Tories are back, with a bang.


'Not health, not justice, not education, not tax. No. This policy is about planning. The policy is no change of use for hotels without planning permission. This is an absolute game changer. This will win an avalanche of votes.  It's not anti-immigrant or anti-asylum-seeker.  It's not pandering to white working class poor people.  This is about the proper use of the planning system.


'No need for any other policies. No need to be a thoughtful and challenging opposition to the government. No need to fear scary Nigel any more. Gamechanger!


'Do I think that people will notice that we are opportunistic, mean-spirited and morally bankrupt. No. People are smarter than that.


'Do I think that people will notice that we don't have anything useful to offer on any of the big issues of the day. Yes. But who cares. The election is ages away.'
