Cuthbert's Cosmopolis

The Politics Show correctly informs us that Manchester is to be “the first provincial English city to introduce a congestion charge”.

For, of course, the Athens of the North East is not provincial. So says The Politics Show.

  1. The BBC website correctly notes that Durham has a congestion charge, but says that Manchester is "the first major British city outside London to introduce large-scale congestion charging".

    So Durham's not a major British city, according to the BBC. To be fair, that's true.

  2. That's not what they said on The Politics Show.

    Durham not a major city? Wash your mouth out!

  3. I wasn't arguing with you about the Politics Show. I was just pointing to a different BBC source which got it right.

    The BBC has lots of different people working on lots of different programmes/outlets - they don't all say precisely the same thing all the time.
