what the papers say

Saturday 12th October 2013

It was a good week for manchester, with a supplement in the times (“its all happening in manchester, the world’s most progressive city ?”), a front page piece in the financial times (“manchester outstrips london as vibrant place to live”), and another glossy pumped out, in which I majored (p29) on high speed 2 and skills, “a huge and fundamental problem” caused at least in part by a ridiculous degree of centralisation, as the economist too noted. Everything but a beach.
