Blackpool conspiracies exhibition

Carnivore · 30th July 2006, 07:53 PM

Apologies if this has already been covered - a quick search didnt bring it up.

Last night I was in Blackpool for a stag party, and on the central Promenade I saw a giant billboard advertising the "Conspiracies" exhibition at the Exhibition of the Universe venue.

The billboard depicted Laura and George W. Bush posed "American Gothic" style in front of the White House, George holding a coffee mug and Laura filling it from a petrol pump.

The entrance to the exhibition was surrounded by promo material stating explicitly that the September 11 attacks were personally orchestrated by Bush. It was claimed that irrefutable proof lay within for those wishing to part with sum of (I think) twelve pounds. The display material carried the usual CT stridency regarding the size and depth of holes in the Pentagon. It was clear they were promoting the "Pentagon was hit by a missile not a plane theory".

I didnt go in, but I am curious if anyone else here is familiar with this attraction and can give some further details? I am appalled that a large public exhibition of this garbage has sprung up in my back yard, so to speak. I dont have a lot of spare time or money to travel out of town but this is something I would seriously consider picketing if it is at all popular.

Some Googling shows the venue is run by Blackpool businessman David H Boyle, and used to house the Doctor Who exhibition. An article by Mr Boyle here: http://www.justbajan.com/opinion/101201/terror/op08.htm

I visited the Dr Who exhibition about a year ago - good fun, and thought it would be even more popular now. Sad to see its proprieter is nothing but a conspiracist woo.

Or possibly someone just out to make money...
