Why don't we stop trying to be like London

Bristol City does not seem to accept it's scale and imposes unsuitable developments upon it's citizens.

Big City?

Why don't we stop trying to be like London.

The Arnolfini aint the tate so don't make us wait for our new art space that aint that aint aint the tate.
No art space but a corridor and a bar that aint no more social than it was before, in fact less, too much red, headspace stress at least there is an outside in the summer.

Industrial Museum goes to ruin. A once great building shape goes to waste to make another London style vacuous visitor landscape with no exhibits that once made Bristol great. But if an aitrium and giftshop is to your taste then get on down with your money to waste.

Bristol arena has cost you the taxpayer a cool 3 mill, makes me ill to hear since it'll never be. But wait, there's more in store an extra 15 mill, still, that will provide the infastructure for this and that and build luxury flats that will not benefit you boo hoo.

Taxis blue 'cos mellow aint yellow and wouldn't suit the amorphous blobs that carry us around town and we will pay for that respray, higher fares beware.

We are not London we are a mini global village that the council pillage for the land and tell us they need to sell 'cos hell we want to keep your taxes down. But wait! Don't waste the fucking money in the first place and you wouldn't need to.

We are not London
