Is it Panto season.....?
I think you will find the total spend on infastructure in the regions (including in and around Manchester Airport) compared to the total spend in London could well be described as bordering on the totally abysmal !!!
Whilst we might fawn around the ankles of those in the treasury who have seen fit to offer some "very limited" support to the airport tram link and the additional rail platform, rest assured we are being led up the proverbial garden path with this bollocksology.
In London they are having a banquet in terms of infastructure spend whilst the rest of the country including Manchester dines out on crumbs.
In the Home Counties any form of spend is in the Billions.
In the North it's Millions.
A billion isn't 10 times more or a 100 times more it's a 1000 !
Think about that, next time the MEN salivates over a Minister announcing a fabulous £200m spend in the N West.
.....it sounds impressive. It isn't it's pathetic !
