Brown to scrap 'super casinos' policy
More of this, please! I never liked the fact that Labour were pushing this legislation. 'Super casinos' have not been proven to bring genuine regeneration to deprived areas. Indeed, some police reports warned that construction of such casinos would spark crime-waves and open the door [further?] to organised crime in inner city areas. It was also noted that many of the jobs on offer in 'super casinos' would be almost exclusively of low-pay/low-skilled jobs, not really the solution for promoting urban regeneration.
Balding thigh-rubber, Peter Stringfellow has just spoken out on More4 News - in support of 'super casinos'. Who needs a better argument against them?

That is good news - I hope he continues in this vein. Is he going to replace them with something else though? Like a crack factory?
