Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

Yes… Burnham said something along the lines of “we’re quite vocal about our concerns regarding the issue”
Did Burnham mention the UK's own Human Rights concerns such as the ongoing investigation into the murder of civilians in Afghanistan (following the torture and murders in Iraq); or the illegal deportations of Windrush generation citizens; or the attempted illegal deportations of migrants to Rwanda, or even the police cover-up over the Stephen Lawrence murder; reparations for our abuses in Northern Ireland including jailing people without trial: or demands for slavery reparations; or just the thousands of cases of migrant workers here being exploited on farms, or picking cockles, or working in backstreet sweatshops; or perhaps the fact we are one of the world's biggest arms dealers and our biggest customer (here in Lancashire) is Saudi Arabia! Hypocrisy and double standards.
 
Annabel Tiffin asked Burnham whether the City should be taking money for an arena from a nation with an appalling human rights record..... hypocrisy to slag off Abu Dhabi / CFG then take the money
Strangely the question was aimed at someone who probably had fck all to do with anything regards the whole project and was only there for a free lunch.
Would be so funny if someone from the UAE was to ask her what she meant by the question. She'd shit herself.

Calm down, calm down!

In your defence, you missed people burning to death in unsafe flats, excess covid deaths, misappropriation of public purse on an industrial scale, record levels of child poverty, and ...erm ... think weve made our point.

No because the question was centred around Abu Dhabi investment so I would expect his response to that and not go off on a tangent like some people on here
