Aye, he’s another. I’ve written posts about Lincoln’s positive and negative side before on this forum.I didn't post Lincolns staue either,even though his country commited genocide on the indiginous population ,and after millions of others around the world,recently Iraq
T S Eliot once said " history is now,and still England "Aye, he’s another. I’ve written posts about Lincoln’s positive and negative side before on this forum.
I can see the positive links towards the city of Manchester with Lincoln (and he also has a square named after him) with the letter written to the people/workers of Manchester. But he does have a shady side.
She certainly.does, however that college is due to close in the next 4-5 yeaes if I remember the article on the new one tmc built in strangeways so if that does happen who knows what it will become and if it will keep it's nameShena Simon .
I believe she has a college in Manchester named after her .
And she was a well known punk rocker I think.
bloody hell,you must be getting on ,she died in 1972 aged 88 .Sheena Simon was a.k.a. Lady Simon of Wythenshawe.
She used to visit our school occasionally. I think she was on the education committee or something. At the time she must have been about 98 - at least, that's how she moved. Respected in the education community back then as was the (Tory) Dame Kathleen Ollerenshaw, who was deeply interested in education. I have just discovered that Dame Kathleen only died in 2014 at the remarkable age of 102.
In fairness, both women made a significant contribution to Manchester, but their attitude of actually giving a shit is a bit passé now among politicians. They are all but forgotten.
I am indeed 'getting on' and I dare say I shall be in the Great Kippax in the sky before too many years are gone.bloody hell,you must be getting on ,she died in 1972 aged 88 .
all history is relative,like P Casual doesn't like ghandi ,I do for standing up to the biggest empire in history,and removing it from his country via the laws of the country occupying it.
She in her time " accepted the conventional division of labour between men and women, at least for the working classes, where the woman minded the home "
to be honest, i was 7 in 1972 .I am indeed 'getting on' and I dare say I shall be in the Great Kippax in the sky before too many years are gone.
Lady Simon must have been getting towards the end of her innings when she visited our school. It would either be the late 1960s or the very early 1970s. I can't swear to the exact year as my mind was on other stuff back then.
Legend. You know he is...he really is. Thank you!
There was a time when Tories really did believe in One Nationism.Sheena Simon was a.k.a. Lady Simon of Wythenshawe.
