sawylAccording to my sometime local councillor, the solution to Coventry's post Ryton economy is a super casino. Talk about totally insane.
Not only is Coventry such an acknowledged dive that no-one would want to go there on their holidays, super casino or no, but it's so unremittingly grim that I suspect the majority of the population, on finding a super casino on their doorstep, will be tempted to gamble their lives away.
It sounds to me like someone has watched the $pringfield episode of the Simpsons a few too many times.
