The sky is falling

You have to wonder if Swansea’s Civic Society occupies a different planet to the rest of us. According to the self-appointed guardians of the urban realm who mainly comprise of the under-achieving and the unemployable in their respective fields, the incomplete Meridian Tower in the marina is an indictment(?)

The press, who are apt to mistakenly regard groups with a passing interest in something as people who are also capable of making a cogent contribution, report that the CivSoc see the 29 storey building as a "giant billboard advertising a stagnant economy" in the city.

The general gist of their criticism seems to be one of “We told you so” but whether this relates to the scale of the building or the economic recession that has temporarily halted construction is not readily apparent. From the rambling statement released by the unrepresentative and opinionated bunch of worthies, it doesn't look as if they are too sure either.
