St Edmund's Curse

We noticed when we went into town that work has started on the controversial new development on the site of the old cattle market in Bury St Edmunds. The council says "We Listened" and explains Why Develop, but many people, myself included, aren't convinced.

In response, the Knights of St Edmund invoked the Curse of St Edmund.

In an attempt to prevent the desecration of Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk, one of England's most historic towns, the Knights of St Edmund have decided to unleash a 1,000 year old curse against Centros Miller Ltd., Miller group and Debenhams. These companies, in the face of overwhelming local opposition, want to construct a huge £80 million shopping development in the town which will fundamentally alter the character and lay-out of the town. The curse of St Edmund and St Edmund's reputation for extremely supernatural violence against those who threaten his Liberty, abbey, town or shrine, was familiar to everyone in medieval England....

The ancient curse of St Edmund has not been used for over 500 years, but with the determination of developers to destroy the whole character of a town laid-out almost 1,000 years ago, leaves the good people of Bury St Edmunds with no other option.

The curse was invoked 268 days ago, but it hasn't stopped the development yet. Will the curse succeed?
