    I like the quotes from the councillors...

    "Approving this would be like bringing a North Korean nuclear missile silo to the city. I am sorry to say this is not the improvement I was hoping for."

    "It has been described as looking like a *** packet and I would agree with that. It does."

    "it resembles a mid-level polytechnic from the 1970s".

    <laugh>

    Hull City Council has done more damage to the city than Hitler's Luftwaffe ever did.

    They'd have been converted into small flats costing £500k each by now.

    Looks pretty cool - Hull had some great architecture prior to the war - most lost during the bombings.

    Beautiful buildings.

    Was they victims of Hitler's attempts at destroying our City or part of a past council's regeneration programme? Which on reflection, is the same as Hitler's idea really!!

    The Swan Mills shown in the picture were destroyed during the war in 1941 and the mill recently demolished is a post war replacement which has been derelict for a good number of years
