  Could you imagine the French or Germans going to Brussels to complain about another part of their counrty getting a small grant its a joke.

  Are you in dream world?
  France would be the first to complain like Champagne only being called champagne if grown in France.
  France wanted a new Steel Mill built it & then there was a glut in the EU so who shut France? No it was Ravenscraig under the order of the EU.
  By christ they would have had you pull the whole thing down.
  It's all right quoting a few Notherners on how happy they are about Liverpool.
  But how many are using your Hotels?
  How many are just driving in getting on the ship cruising & then driving straight home again?
  How is this going to bring loads of jobs to Liverpool?
  We have had many posts from Northerners on this subject & they love the trip & stay in our city so what we should get them to print their names?

  Actually good post Loosehead :)
  
  We're not worried about Liverpool doing turn arounds that's not the point, it's the fact that they are doing this before they've got the go ahead to do so, it's arrogant and misguided. Level playing field and that's fine, it's a huge growth industry and enough trade for everyone.
  
  Funnily enough a v. good friend of mine who resides in Liverpool just came down and did a trip over to the IoW and said how wonderful it was !! :D"
