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.
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.

That's not what they said on The Politics Show.
ReplyDeleteDurham not a major city? Wash your mouth out!
I wasn't arguing with you about the Politics Show. I was just pointing to a different BBC source which got it right.
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
