Bayleaf Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Good to see having a Sheffield MP at the heart of power is really making a difference for Sheffield! http://www.thestar.c...d-is.6423205.jp Not sure we can pin this one on Cleggy! I was reading the result in the paper, and they were saying that they hoped selecting (London)Derry would have a unifying effect on the city. It seems that when the Council first proposed entering, the S.F. opposition objected to the 'UK' in the title. While I'm all in favour of anything that gets rid of sectarianism, I'm not sure that this will work, or that it's a legitimate motive for awarding something like this.

A city of culture just because its a has 2 different sects that are at each others throat and it may have a unifying effect!! OK, so we have got 2 sects at each others throats, in the red corner, SHEFFIELD UNITED and in the blue corner, SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY So how about picking US for the same reason? :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
