Hey so you know that phenomenon where words come into the language from different directions so you get stuff like 'chai tea' (tea tea, literally) or 'Sahara Desert (desert desert)?
Came across a possible baby one today.
So I was just listening to a podcast about rickrolling - til that Rick Astley is not only British but *Northern* - and the hosts were American and they were talking about how he came from 'Lancashire county'
and I'm there like, you're making it sound like he's from somewhere in the US that's named after somewhere in the UK, like Birmingham or Dallas or whatever (there are So Many) and then i realised
it makes complete sense for Americans to do that, bc a lot of their land divisions are referred to like that! that's normal! but i speak British English and to me, 'shire' is just The Word For Normal Land Divisions, it's historical, geographical and cultural, with administrative functions having drifted - the administrative and political boundaries have shifted some with the passage of time, but the old customary divisions remain
we *do* sometimes use the formulation 'x county', sometimes even 'xshire county', for the modern administrative units though it's usually with 'council' at the end, bracketed with the county - Essex County Council (the county council for Essex), Hampshire County Council (the county council for Hampshire). 'Staffordshire County' is something you'd only say if you needed to make a very specific political and administrative point. it's not something you'd say about your area of origin or cultural background, because it's just not relevant.
I have family in Derbyshire. somewhere. who the fuck knows if they're in the admin boundaries of Derbyshire County! i have a friend who's from Yorkshire, but there *is no* straight Yorkshire county - it's split into several administrative areas.
so anyway hearing someone say 'he grew up in Lancashire County' just sounds really, really wrong to me, while it sounds perfectly normal and reasonable to Americans. the Brits have counties, right?
and I'm there like YESSSS I LOVE IT WHEN THIS SHIT HAPPENS AND IT FEELS LIKE I'M WATCHING A RIVER AVON HAPPEN IN REAL TIME.

Burnley is surrounded by beautiful countryside. This lane is just a short distance above the terraced housing of Burnley Wood. The area, known as Towneley Woodland, was once a semi-industrial landscape of collieries and a brickworks. Today, little remains of Burnley Wood's grimier days. The woodland is serene and still on a hot summer evening.

Dft Unveils £38 Million In ‘Extra Support’ To Make English Roads Safer - Transport Planning Associates
Tumblr media
The Government has said that 17 of the highest-risk roads in England will receive an additional investment of £38.3 million to help improve their safety. 
A news release from the Department for Transport (DfT) said that this latest funding injection “comes on top of” a previously invested £147.5 million aimed at bringing about “life-saving improvements” on 82 of England’s high-risk roads. 
An ‘up to 30%’ reduction in fatalities and serious injuries promised 
The Government stated that its funding would lead to “significant reductions” in serious and fatal injuries over two decades, amounting to as much as 30.8% lower on some roads. 
Enhancements to the targeted roads are expected to include new junctions and roundabouts, improved signage and road markings, new road surfacing and landscape management, and improved pedestrian crossings and cycle lanes. 
According to the DfT, it is anticipated that some 385 lives will be saved over the next 20 years as a consequence of the latest funding round. The department added that the money would also go towards lowering congestion, shortening journey times, and reducing emissions. 
“We are always looking at ways to help keep… road users safe” 
Secretary of State for Transport, Mark Harper, commented that “Britain’s roads are some of the safest in the world, but we are always looking at ways to help keep drivers and all road users safe.” 
The Member of Parliament for Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire said that the additional £38 million in funding would give local councils in England “the support they need to keep everyone safe while reducing congestion and helping to grow the economy.” 
The 17 roads receiving money from the latest round of the Safer Roads Fund are: 
The A579 (Bolton Council) 
The A676 (Bolton Council) 
The A432 (Bristol Council) 
The A361 (Devon County Council) 
The A690 (Durham County Council) 
The A19 (Doncaster City Council)
The A19 (North Yorkshire County Council) 
The A113 (Essex County Council) 
The A6 (Lancashire County Council)
The A6 (North Northamptonshire County Council) 
The A60 (Nottingham City Council) 
The A6200 (Nottingham City Council) 
The A420 (Oxfordshire County Council) 
The A5191 (Shropshire Council) 
The A2101 (East Sussex County Council) 
The A583 (Lancashire County Council) 
The A41 (Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council)

Lancashire Cyber Partnership: Revolutionizing UK Cybersecurity
Tumblr media
  Building the Cyber Ecosystem in Lancashire
In an effort to shape, support, and promote the cyber ecosystem in the region, the Lancashire Cyber Partnership is set to become a driving force. The National Cyber Force (NCF), a collaborative venture between Defence and Intelligence, will lead this transformative initiative, fostering collaboration with academic institutions and industry partners.   New Home for NCF in Samlesbury by 2025 The National Cyber Force is preparing to open its new headquarters in Samlesbury by 2025. This strategic move is not only aimed at strengthening the cyber landscape but also holds the potential to generate employment opportunities in the region. Focusing on technology and digital supply chains, this initiative aims to enhance and support the burgeoning North West Cyber Corridor.

Diverse Partnerships for a Strong Foundation
Partners in the Lancashire Cyber Partnership include the Lancashire County Council, the Lancashire Enterprise Partnership, the University of Central Lancashire, Lancaster University, and BAE Systems. This diverse collaboration was unveiled at the inaugural Lancashire Cyber Festival, where delegates engaged in discussions and workshops focused on elevating the county’s high-value, high-skilled, and inclusive cyber economy.   Fostering Cyber Interest Amongst Youth To showcase the dynamic career opportunities within the area, local primary school and college pupils participated in cyber-themed puzzles. College and university students, in turn, competed against the clock in a high-tech cyber escape room. Furthermore, students had the unique opportunity to interact with Defence leaders, including Lieutenant General Tom Copinger-Symes, Claire Fry, and Air Vice-Marshal Tim Neal-Hopes, gaining insights into their career journeys.  
NCF's Pivotal Role in Lancashire's Cyber Development
Air Vice-Marshal Tim Neal-Hopes expressed immense pride in the National Cyber Force's pivotal role in shaping Lancashire's cyber ecosystem. This strategic partnership positions Lancashire uniquely as a national leader in cyber and security capabilities, contributing to enduring security, resilience, and prosperity for the entire county.   Aligning with National Cyber Strategy Highlighting the importance of aligning with the Government's National Cyber Strategy, AVM Tim Neal-Hopes emphasized the Lancashire Cyber Partnership's role in supporting the development of an integrated and collaborative North West Cyber Corridor. This alignment is crucial in achieving the strategic objectives outlined in the government's approach to cybersecurity.  
NCF's Mission and Operational Principles
Disrupting Adversaries in Cyberspace The National Cyber Force plays a crucial role in making it harder for adversaries to exploit cyberspace and digital technologies. In line with the Integrated Review 2021, the UK Government aims to disrupt adversaries' use of digital technology, ensuring responsible development and usage of offensive cyber tools within international law and voluntary norms.   NCF's Operational Principles and Democratic Values The National Cyber Force operates based on fundamental operational principles outlined in their guide. Notably, these principles underscore how the force functions and its steadfast commitment to democratic values. Furthermore, the guide provides valuable insights into the background of the National Cyber Force, illuminating its operational approach and offering concrete operational examples. This comprehensive overview serves to emphasize the force's unwavering commitment to responsible cyber power. In summary, the Lancashire Cyber Partnership marks a significant step in shaping Lancashire's cyber landscape, with the National Cyber Force at its core, contributing to national cybersecurity goals and aligning with responsible cyber practices on the global stage.   Sources: THX News, Strategic Command & National Cyber Force.

A List Of The Closest Neighbourhoods To Blackburn, UK
Blackburn is a small town in Lancashire, England. It's known for its textile mills and the Blackburn Rovers F.C., who won the FA Cup in 1884 and 1886. The town has many historic buildings, including its parish church of St Mary's Church and Blackburn Cathedral.
Blackburn
Blackburn is a town in Lancashire, England. It is the administrative centre of the Borough of Blackburn with Darwen and has a population of 103,723 in 2011.
Tumblr media
Blackburn was an important manufacturing centre during the 19th century cotton boom, but during this time it also suffered from repeated outbreaks of cholera and typhoid fever. During this period, it acquired an unfortunate reputation for being one of Britain's most unhealthy places to live because there was no drainage system for many years; sewage disposal was poor as most homeowners did not have their own sewage systems. Blackburn also suffered from air pollution from extensive coal mining operations which caused smog throughout much of its history.
Bolton
Bolton is a town in Greater Manchester, England. It lies 10 miles northwest of Manchester city centre, on the River Croal and has a population of 141,955.
Bolton is the administrative centre of the Metropolitan Borough of Bolton, within the historic county boundaries of Lancashire. The town has been a part of Greater Manchester since 1974.
Little Harwood
Little Harwood is a village in Lancashire, England. It is situated on the outskirts of Blackburn, just south of the town centre. The name derives from the Old English word 'hara' meaning a wood or clearing and 'tun', meaning a farmstead or hamlet.
Tumblr media
Little Harwood was once a township in the ancient parish of Whalley which became part of Blackburn Rural District in 1894 and then absorbed into Blackburn Borough Council as part of its enlargement under the Local Government Act 1972.
Bury
Bury is a town in Greater Manchester, England. It lies on the River Irwell, south-southeast of Rochdale and northwest of Bolton. The town is the administrative centre of the Metropolitan Borough of Bury, which had a population of 230,300 in 2013.
Leigh
Leigh is a town in Greater Manchester, England. It is part of the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan and adjoins Worsley to the south. Leigh was a municipal borough from 1872 until 1974 when it became part of the district council area known as SELNEC (South East Lancashire North East Cheshire).
Leigh grew up around an ancient ford over the River Tame at its confluence with the River Irwell. The name derives from an Old English word meaning 'ford' or 'leek'. Settlements were recorded here from at least 1212 onwards when it was known as Legh. By 1314 there were 7 poll tax payers registered at "Leyghe" but this increased to 17 by 1377.
The growth in population meant that by 1750 there were about 200 inhabitants in 30 houses scattered along what is now Market Street; these houses would have been made of wood rather than stone because there were no local quarries nearby (the nearest was at Hurst Hill). This early settlement dispersed after William Grimshaw built Grimshaw's Mill on Stoney Lane just outside what would become known as Leigh village centre.

The Kennels and The Temple, Gisburne Park, Gisburn, Lancashire
Tumblr media
Built in the later 18th century, The Kennels were designed in the style of a sham castle, with a central room flanked by two squat towers. The building also served as an eye-catcher from the bridge over the River Ribble, although this latter function has been lost as trees now block the view. Sadly the castellations are also long gone, but the building appears to have a happier future ahead.

Last Tuesday Rishi Sunak stood behind a lectern outside Downing Street and issued a grave warning. The country, he said, was in the midst of a profound economic crisis, which would mean “difficult decisions to come”. But lest anyone worry too much, he was also at pains to portray himself as a guardian of the public good. “You saw me during Covid, doing everything I could to protect people and businesses with schemes like furlough,” he said. “There are always limits, more so now than ever, but I promise you this: I will bring that same compassion to the challenges we face today.”
The exact mathematics of the government’s fiscal gap are a matter of conjecture. A fortnight ago, the reversal by the chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, of most of the tax reductions proposed by Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng clawed back about £30bn, leaving a hole estimated at £40bn. Midway through last week, there were reports that things were looking slightly less dire. Then, amid continuing whispers about government departments being instructed to come up with cuts of up to 15%, rumblings from the Treasury suggested that Hunt and Sunak are “exploring” tax rises and spending savings worth £50bn a year, while hoping they could avoid economies on quite that scale. Whatever the spin, bullshit and expectations management preceding Hunt’s medium-term fiscal statement on 17 November, one thing remains clear: there will be cuts.
Out in the real world, there already are. For the councils who deliver some of our most basic public services, the austerity that began in the aftermath of the financial crash of 2008 has never really gone away, and is now biting with renewed ferocity. Whatever the details of the fiscal statement, local authorities are already having to deal with a trying combination of inflation, increased energy prices, and the rising need for adult and children’s social care. Because of the eternally Westminster-focused ways of our politics and media, the resulting local crises get far too little attention, but they are a big part of why Britain now feels so anxious and exhausted.
Kent county council is facing a £70m annual “overspend” and warning of deep cuts. In Lancashire, the gap is £84m. Wirral councillors have been told to “prepare for the worst”, and get to grips with a financial hole of about £50m. There is a similar picture in Birmingham, Norfolk, Hampshire and countless areas besides. In Sheffield, the city council is set to cut services by £18m, and is floating proposals for monthly bin collections, and the closure of libraries and recycling centres.
Tellingly, voices warning of a deepening disaster include those of prominent Conservatives. The Tory leader of Surrey county council, Tim Oliver, is the current chair of the County Councils Network. Last Thursday, he said that, over the next two years, £3.5bn will be added to the costs borne by 40 of England’s unitary and county councils, which threatens to be “devastating for local services”. His message to his Tory comrades in Westminster was plain: “With inflation causing multibillion black holes in our budgets, we need more help, not less.” Here was proof of the profound disconnection between fiscal economics and the state of society: the best that can be hoped for, it seems, is limited cuts, but what most places need is increased spending.
Millions of people are familiar with what this means as a matter of lived experience: parents of children with special educational needs, disabled adults who get ever-shorter care visits, families with no hope of making it to the top of waiting lists for social housing. Meanwhile, just about all of us put up with a more ambient kind of austerity – parks with broken swings, potholed roads, endless litter. The decline of local amenities and services blurs into our view of other parts of the public sector: we have increasingly low expectations of the police, a shared presumption that schools will be crowded and under-resourced, and an increasingly ingrained view of the NHS as something best used only in an absolute emergency. This is the essence of the public mood right now, a weary disengagement from a state that no longer provides.
A better government would understand that as a sign of unsustainable decay, and rethink. If they were not locked into a view of the world that events are shredding, the prime minister and chancellor could rule out spending cuts and embrace a very different approach: increase inheritance tax, look at broader forms of wealth taxation, reinstitute Boris Johnson’s so-called health and social care levy, or simply put up income tax, not least at the top. The fact that they won’t is a vivid demonstration of the limits of their “compassion”, and two key aspects of the modern Conservative mind. In the thinking of Tory technocrats such as Hunt, public duty now seems to boil down to the idea that holding high office is all about “tough decisions”, a belief that one’s political fibre has not been proven unless human need has been judged to be less important than “efficiency”. This dovetails with that eternal Tory view of public services as flabby, wasteful and always deserving of cuts and savings.
The public, it seems to me, is now starting to understand that such thinking has led to disaster. Beyond Johnson’s misrule and the calamities created by Liz Truss, that realisation looks like one of the key reasons for the Tories’ vertiginous drop in the polls – though running alongside it is a very British kind of pessimism: a belief that, after 12 years of Tory rule, stagnation is the natural order of things and hoping for anything else is a mug’s game. Which of those views wins out will decide our political future. It is a measure of the Conservatives’ predicament that a grim acceptance of more austerity and decline is one of the few things that might give them a flickering hope of recovery.
A fortnight ago I spent four days in Grimsby, the former fishing town in Lincolnshire that voted overwhelmingly for Brexit – and three years later, returned its first Conservative MP in 74 years. Walking around its back streets, I met a man who had just closed the gym he had been running, due to impossible electricity bills. As we walked past shuttered-up shops, he talked about his sense that life now simply amounted to one crisis after another. “It’s like everybody’s waiting, waiting, waiting,” he said. “I’ve stopped looking forward to things being over now: I’ve just started to accept that you have to be happy, and deal with the situation.” What he meant was that refusing to believe that things might get better was the best way of staying sane. But here, perhaps, was proof of one of the Tories’ most underrated political assets – that phlegmatic, fatalistic, very human kind of resilience that makes things far too easy for the stubborn donkeys who lead us.
