The Mancunians always were a bolshie bunch anyhow.
If they can force them into having to accept the things,

dumb-arsed sheep... Baaaaa!!!!
Manchester was chosen because it is a Labour controlled Council and the Airport is wholly owned by said Council. The Home office told them they were having it end of story and they would have the infrastructure paid for.
It is obvious that any opposition is being stifled. if it had happened at a lot of other airports there would have been ballots for action long before now.
Many are signing up to it at manchester for a £75 bribe to take part in the trial..Problem is once on the trial they will be on the database forever.
