Do we stand together?
In a political climate of cliche, exclusion, misuse of power and UK political failures, and many of those are from inadequate local leadership, this article is an important one, daring to ask that question, beyond the soundbites...
"Let’s stop telling the world that we’re doing things differently and actually do something different, and make the statement
“What Manchester does today, the world does tomorrow” ring true again".
"Manchester has too many societal issues staring at us right in the face for me to believe that we do stand together. Far too many people are being abused. Far too many people are not being looked after".
"Until Manchester solves these basic problems, I don’t believe that we have truly stood together. Until we have a city that isn’t divided, a city that doesn’t ignore its most vulnerable, I can never be truly proud of my city".
A few big bee sculptures solve nothing .
