It is in Tory world, obviously.

The whole of Hastings isn't worth £50K, awful place...

Full of old Tories I believe...

...oh, and Punk.

April 2000 - September 2001 then back to Catford and no seagulls.

You did well to last that long.

The pier was devastated by a huge fire in 2010. It was rebuilt with over £12m from the heritage lottery fund and almost £600k from selling shares. It reopened in 2016. In 2017, it won the RIBA Stirling Prize – the “biggest prize in British architecture”.
Pier for sale

But later that year, operators Hastings Pier Charity went into administration. The pier was put up for sale. A group of locals calling themselves Friends of Hastings Pier (FOHP) set about the mammoth task of keeping it in community ownership. The group crowdfunded almost £500k and developed a business plan to:

keep the freehold of the Pier owned by the community, whilst transforming it into a profitable and sustainable business.

Pier sold

On 15 June, shareholders were informed the pier had been sold to Abid Gulzar, the owner of Eastbourne pier. The price was reported to be £50k.

What exactly is your problem with this?
The charity that owned it went broke
An experienced entrepreneur has rescued it

You never bother to read articles properly before jumping in with your nonsensical bollax Tory scum.

'An award winning pier rebuilt with £12m of public money is flogged off to a private owner for peanuts'

The clue is in the headline.....now do one!
