And so it came to pass that Stoke-on-Trent missed out on the 2021 City of Culture, the accolade instead awarded to Coventry. Disappointing, but not entirely surprised. There were several serious flaws with Stoke's Tory-led bid, and that was without announcing their (now scrapped) plans to fine homeless people found using a tent in the final days of the competition. What can you say? Spitefulness and stupidity are our Tory/Indy/UKIP council's trusty companions, and there's a very good chance this has cost the city dear. Well done, chaps!
In lieu of a proper post and with an early night approaching, here is a tune.
