Tory MP Damian Green secretly slated Manchester after failed Olympic bid

“No-one in their right mind would spend three weeks in Manchester rather than Sydney.Ironically the city would go on to host the 2002 Commonwealth Games to huge success, with London eventually hosting the Olympics in 2012.The comments are in files released by the National Archive today of the February 1994 report, which also saw sporting legends referred to as “old buffers”.

Downing Street aide Alex Allan said: "We have also adopted rather an arrogant attitude, based either on past glories or on a belief that many of those now running international sporting bodies are corrupt and/or power-mad.“We have had too many nice old buffers running things or representing Britain on international sporting bodies.

The secret files also gave a flavour of what might have been, with details of what the PM would have said if Manchester had won the bid.'Bullied' rail death boy 'left names on note' as school hint at 'prank gone wrong'ExclusiveSTUDENT SUICIDELodger, 25, GUILTY of killing girl, 13, after she said she was pregnantMr Major planned to say: “We faced some stiff competition. This success shows that when we put our minds to something in Britain, we are world-beaters.

How dare Damien Green put Manchester down, Manchester hosted the most successful Commonwealth games, best football teams in the country, iconic music bands originated from Manchester. The night life is second to none.

When we are supposed to be standing together one Dickhead comes out with that
