Taxi drivers are the ones who survived the rare genetic disease and were left brain damaged. Unfortunately they were all left with a black cab too. And if they weren't, they were given a transit van.

Oh yeah, I see you left Liverpool out of your vitriol.

In that case MANCHESTER IS SUPER!!!

Liverpool's no one's whore. It's the city's inablility to suck cock which leaves it recieving much less institutional love then that of which Manchester gets from London, who's married to Washington but likes a bit of Granadaland on the side.

Absolutley. Where was Manchester when the scouse proletarian hoards where trying to seize control of the state and raise the glorious internationale over oppressed northern lands in the 80's?
Administering executive relief to their London gauleiters, thats where!

You've been told before, that was an incorrect figure. The number was revised to 422,000.

[Leeds No.1]

I didn't write that don't blame me- 422,000 isn't much better anyway.

Leeds No.1, it seems everybody but you already knew this. It's been mentioned on here a number of times. Birmingham's population shrank a lot during the same period too. Greater Manchester, however, didn't shrink as much. A lot of people simply moved into the suburbs. It's expected that the population of the centre of Manchester will increase over the next ten years as all the shitholes are rebuilt. I'd suspect the same is true of Liverpool. Leeds' however, is stagnating.

Not like anyone can respect that figure anyway.

Considering the boundary it goes by doesn't include parts of Manchester's own city centre.
A boundary only there for electoral efficiency.
A boundary which meant nothing until Maggie abolished the Greater County Councils in 86 cos they were Labour, and so the Tories would have a chance of gaining power in some of the newly created boroughs ie. Trafford, Tameside that were left from the fragmented former Manchester.

This isn't Berlin circa 1988, this is Manchester, that boundary means nothing.
