Last night Nash Thakker, a 41-year-old regeneration manager in the nearby town of Millom, said: "I'm glad it's gone. The play itself was derogatory to black people and has no place in modern society.

I bet this fool is just fine with rap music that depicts black people as greedy gangsters, whores and degenerates.

And he would likely be shouting "RACISM!" if anyone were to ever openly suggest taking steps to clean up the rap 'culture' that is so very destructive to a very large part of society.

And BTW, what the hell is a "regeneration manager" anyway? That sounds like a fancy name for a loafer.

LMAO!

From a superficial and admittedly minimal search it appear to be a 'resource manager' for a given region or area.  This is probably one of those job descriptions that is so loosely defined that in practice it ends up being precisely as you suggest   :-)

Millom is in one of the least-known corners of England, the coastal strip which fringes the Lake District to the West and South. The area had a thriving economy based on coal and iron until the latter half of the 20th century, but has been severely depressed since the collapse of those industries, its dereliction the more striking because if its close proximity to some of Europe’s most beautiful countryside. Recently there has been some success in the economic regeneration of the area, with a lot of EU regional development money pouring in. Doubtless this gentleman is involved with one of these schemes, which from my own experience are often stifled by bureaucracy but sometimes produce startling impressive results. The local community website, www.millom.org.uk , tells a generally positive story. From my own experience I can also say that this is one of the parts of England where you are least likely to see a face other than white, so it’s not surprising that people hereabouts are a little, shall we say, confused about these matters.
