UK Government prove they’re biased towards London once again.
Plans to expand Manchester Metrolink have today been scrapped by the Government in favour of London’s Crosslink.
Yet more evidence of the north/south divide attitude of the Government.
Londoners don’t know they’re born with the Underground. London has a perfectly good mass transport system that every other city in the UK would gladly accept, yet the government is not satisfied with throwing another £10 billion at London, it wants to kick the rest of the country (north of Watford gap) in the teeth by scrapping any chances of catching up.
It seems I’m not the only one to think so.
Manchester has just been mugged for £200 million. Somehow I don’t think the guilty will be brought to justice - David Blunkett is Home Secretary, and we know where he stands on accepting responsibility for his own failings. (Humberside Police chief being made scapegoat for Blunkett’s failing to organise a coordinated National Police Force)
