Reply | First band you saw live

I used to like Tractor, so do that make me an extractor fan? 
Anyhow, Ian Dury and The Blockheads was the first band I saw, at Leeds Uni, basically a school trip. Our teacher who took us managed to get us backstage afterwards, met Ian Dury and he was a top guy tbf. Apparently caught him on a good day, because he could be a bit awkward sometimes. |

The crowds thing is a very good point, I think by now it could have gotten quite ugly on the terraces. Going on to Fitzo, I also think BBM’s partner was out of order, not for understandingly supporting BBM, but to question Fitzo’s Dale support was uncalled for. Like some people have said, some people on here and on Twitter hold Fitzo in high esteem, so by now concluding his tenure might be up , maybe she might think he’s influencing people to turn against BBM, so Fitzo copped for it. |

A great idea to which I’ve donated to, however and this might address Sugger’s point, I can’t see the plan of retiring a seat and having a statue/structure placed in the seat being allowed, it’ll be possibly deemed to much of a blockage /hazard in an emergency evacuation procedure . I could of course be wrong but don’t be surprised if the original proposal isn’t allowed. [Post edited 29 Jan 2021 19:39]

Poppy appeal is not political. If a player requested not to wear a shirt with a poppy on, I wouldn’t boo said player and respect it’s their personal choice. |

Yes, I’d like to see who these MP’s are as well. I’d also like to know the year the last time the NHS budget was cut? |

Aye, that lead to Labour’s biggest electoral defeat since 1935, fantastic leadership (for the Tories)
I’m now awaiting the Corbyn apologists to pipe up and make up every excuse how it was everything else but Corbyn (Brexit etc etc etc) |

Good lad, on what basis seeing that I haven’t voted Tory for 15 years. Why do you constantly get personal and spit your dummy out, just because someone has a different opinion from you? |

Very funny and you could be correct. So are you one of them narrow minded people who just vote for one particular party, no matter what they offer or what their policies are? |

Generally agree with that, however, less money hasn’t been made available £60 million was offered and apparently is still available, but Burnham thinks that that’s not enough. I would love more, we’d all love more, but it was made pretty clear that wasn’t going to happen , so rather risk potentially less I would have taken the money.
No political bias by me btw, I quite like Burnham and think he’s done a reasonable job as mayor up to now, I just think on this he could have made a mistake, just my opinion though. |

Interesting. So, would you describe someone who has voted for four different political parties in general elections (last time voted Tory in 2005) , been a member of a trade union, been a trade union health and safety rep, as a Tory apologist? |

£60 million was offered, at the moment nothing is on the table, all this after ten days of negotiating. If you think that’s good negotiating, great stuff.
If Burnham does manage to get any more money I’ll doff my cap. |

I’m believing the facts.
Copied from the BBC
Greater Manchester was offered £60m of central government to help support businesses under the new Tier 3 limits - but in a conversation with the prime minister, Mayor Andy Burnham suggested it was not possible to accept less than £65m.
Greater Manchester leaders originally submitted a request for £90m, which had been costed by a former Treasury official. On Tuesday morning they discussed £75m with government officials, which would have covered the period until the end of the financial year.
It's understood that Boris Johnson and Mr Burnham discussed a figure of £60m but were unable to agree. Ministers were reluctant to set a precedent of giving one region more, proportionately, than another, especially given ongoing talks with several other parts of the country which could also face tougher restrictions.
It is now not clear what financial support the region will receive. After 10 days of talks (of a kind) and billions spent during this crisis, it is quite something that the deal fell over down to a gap of £5m. |
