    I think it's a case of the Emperor's new clothes. One city gets suckered and refuses to admit it and so the charade continues.
    Of course it'll fit, you just need a bigger hammer.

    From a council that claimed it was broke and has slashed frontline services to the most needy! - Bastards!

    There's always plenty of cash to pay for vanity projects.

    A big part of this article seems to mostly be playing on the past: https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/ne...entry-12426781

    That's a very old (and sarcastic) article written by Simon Gilbert who has since moved to the BBC. However, looking at recent violent crimes in Coventry and its' standing in an international safety table, I think the whole city of culture thing is becoming a big joke. To my mind, the only culture that Coventry has is the sort that grows in a petri dish.
