PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[mrbelfry]

Yep. I read that somewhere. No idea what it means, though. Always wanted to use it :)

You probably read it in one of GDM's posts. He's got a flowery mouth

I can understand why they don't back him more.
I'm thinking of the NW Tonight piece on the topping out of the new arena as an example. Nearing completion of Europes largest, state of the art indoor arena, Burnham is interviewed and is naturally buoyant about the project. So what does Annabel Tiffin ask.. 'this is all well and good, but how do you feel about accepting investment from a country with such an appalling human rights record?'. (The way she emphasized 'appalling', I thought she was going to throw-up)
Anything positive MCC say about any investments will be totally twisted into a 'whatabout...?' and it's just not worth their while to stick their head above the parapet.
Frankly, if some people dont appreciate what UAE (and Chinese, for that matter) investment has done for the residents of Manchester, they should piss off to one of the many bankrupt shithole cities that will charge them a fortune in CT to not empty their bins.

Sometimes not giving a reply to comments like "the UAE's appalling human rights record" is the best way to starve it of oxygen.

Ask most people what's wrong with Abu Dhabi's HRRR, they wouldn't have a fuckin Scooby.

Sensationalist bullshit journalism by Annabelle. After the way successive Westminster governments have disenfranchised the North of England, she should know better.

It's not like we had a choice of badly needed Central Government investment, or investment from Abu Dhabi. Manchester graciously accepted the only offer on the table, which its citizens have greatly benefitted from.

If it was up to Westminster, think of 70s/80 Manchester & the decay they were happy to allow to fester.

I'm wondering, with respect to the Super Casino project. The Government set up and independent commission to assess and choose the best option. When it came in favour of our site the Gov reneged. They had final say, maybe this may happen with the football regulator.

Gordon Brown has a particular dislike of gambling, & the effects it has on those least able to afford it.

The proposals were made under Blair who was all for it. It's just our misfortune Brown succeeded him when the final decision was being made.

I didn't know that.

As said they are in the job for votes so react accordingly.

Sad to say the media has done a good job in demonizing even the regeneration of East Manchester.

Not only that but also the share GMC got from Gov went elsewhere and not where it was needed most.

East Manchester was ignored and neglected once it's time of service to the industrial revolution was over.

You mean the same Annabel Tiffin married to a man kicked out of Greater Manchester Police press office for sexual harassment?

I think that is the case our KC will put forward, couched in more legal language, with a few hereinafters, prima facies and mutatis mutandis. Piece of piss this KC business.

He was also responsible for the theft from private pension funds listed on the UK stock exchange.
Quite happy to skim off the rewards of investment to assist his financial balancing act but seemingly anti gambling.
