The super casino will be a privately funded venture so no taxpayers money will be involved. Tax is not paid or spent regionally, it all goes into the chancellors pot, and the government distributes it wherever it likes.
Apparently Manchester has aleady been chosen but Blackpool are kicking up a fuss. Strangely, a super casino is supposed to regeneration an area.
How the local populous throwing its money away will regenerate an area is beyond me. Maybe stupid rich knobs from London spending their cash in Manchester is part of New Labour's wealth distibution scheme.
I for one do not want it. Gordon Brown will be the only winner. And what is the site called in the Eastlands of Manchester where this will be built? - 'New Islington' (I think I'm going to be sick).
Uncle Joe's Mintballs are from Wigan, which for you geographically challenged southerners, is not in the City of Manchester.
