Not regeneration, but degeneration

Pray for the people of Manchester, about to see their city turned into the first of what are undoubtedly to be hundreds of miniature (and not so miniature) versions of Las Vegas on this tiny island. And pray for the repentance, even at the last, of Molly Jowell, British Cabinet point woman for both the Italian and the American branches of the Mafia, with her husband on trial in Milan, and having herself entertained in London at taxpayers' expense the cream of "Las Vegas casino operators". No one like this would any longer be suffered in government in Italy or the United States, certainly not anyone so utterly brazen. So why do we have to put with up her?
