There were 12,149 pachinko shops in 2012; last year, the figure was down by more than 1,000, to 10,986.
I'm sure the average pachinko parlor is getting bigger with more machines as older shops are replaced by newer facilities. So there might be more pachinko machines with more customers these days than previously but no data is given on these points. The only relevant number is the income of the pachinko industry compared to the last 5 years. But this number isn't quoted in the article.

The wall will reduce drug related deaths and other crime. Some people either don't care about the innocent victims of crime or they are too pig-headed to accept it.

The speeches at the march were cringe-worthy. How many vulgar profanities did Madonna use in her speech? Not the best way to set an example on how to fight vulgar language and the like....

Posted in: A messy march of folly to Brexit - and beyond See in context
I can understand people selecting the facts which support their arguments. What Lester has done is make up a lot of nonsense which he knows isn't true and pass it off as informed opinion. It further illustrates why Brexit is the right way to go.
I am surprised at JT publishing such an ill-informed piece.
