Greater Manchester is only a temporary affectation of a historic Tory government. Under Scrutiny by the Right-On Thought Police Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in all such struggles, neither side really won. The family, the Plantagenets lost though. Still it is Yorkshire Day today. So Happy Yorkshire Day! “Few thought him even a starter.There were many who thought themselves smarter. But he ended PM, CH and OM. An Earl and a Knight of the Garter.” Clement Attlee.
