To get a statue in Manchester, to the "traditionalists" on here she would have been better off cooking for hubby, getting slapped about a bit and being an illiterate dogsbody.

Too right. There's a statue of Emmeline, her mother, by the Houses of Parliament. We were having a team event when I worked down in Westminster for a Govt Ministry and part of it was a treasure hunt. One of the items was to get a photograph of a gun and we ended up chatting to one of the armed policemen who was stood by the statue. Somehow we got talking about Manchester and he said "I'm from Manchester" and it turned out he was a Blue as well. So we were chatting about City and he let us take a picture of his Heckler & Koch (ooh err missus).
They lived opposite the MRI and the girls went to Manchester High School for Girls so it'd be nice if the statue went in Platt Fields. She had a son, Richard, who is still very much alive and in his late eighties now.

Bloody bet she wouldn't. She'd call us a bunch of weak-hearted pussies then set fire to something patriarchal!
