Kumharas pretty much got closed for this reason a couple of years ago.
local politics at play again?
reminds me of that scene in Casablanca when vichy stooge Captain Renault is ordered by Major Strasser to close the bar down
Renault to Strasser - but everybody is having such a good time
Strasser (glaring at the defiant band who just played the Marseilleise) - yes, it would seem, too good a time
Renault to Strasser - but on what grounds?
Strasser (eyes gleaming) - find some!
Renault blows whistle - Right, everybody out!
Rick - on what grounds? You can't close me down!
Renault - I'm shocked! SHOCKED! to find er ... GAMBLING has been taking place
croupier to Renault- your winnings Captain
Renault whispers - oh thanks very much
Renault shouts - right, now, everybody out!
