"WE'VE LOST MORE THAN WE'LL EVER KNOW ROUND THE ROCKY SHORES OF ENGLAND" (taken from 'Roots' by Steve Knightley)


As I write this, I've just heard on the news that at 11.00am today The Ministry of Culture (HA!) will be announcing the site of our first ever, SUPER DUPER, Las Vegas Style Casino, holding over 1,250 machines, bigger than a football pitch....etc..etc..

Apparently, it may be Blackpool, or Cardiff Bay or even Greenwich.

Blackpool? Why there? The whole town is already one HUGE casino isn't it? And besides, it wouldn't stand out enough!

Cardiff Bay? Noooooo...way too far from The Museum and The Castle...again....Why put it there? After all most people go to Cardiff to look at the beautiful City Centre and the shops....

But Greenwich?

NOW THEN! NOW we're talking New Labour turkey aren't we!!!

Hey...we could knock down The National Maritime Museum and put it there! After all....WHAT is the point of Greenwich????? I mean REALLY! In this day and age...DO WE NEED GREENWICH anymore?

Nope!

So..let's set fire to The Cutty Sark! Let's trash and smash The Royal Observatory, The Queen's House, lets raze The National Maritime Museum to the ground at the same time...after all, they're in the same place...In fact, let's wipe out any beauty or history left in Greenwich at all.

No longer will we need to hear about Greenwich Meantime every again...because now..NOW we can call it Greenwich Casinotime!

Yup! We can all put our clocks back and forth every single year whilst we feed those one-armed bandits like there's no tomorrow!

After all WHY would we want this in England?
