Go on then.....I find it quite amusing how many people are celebrating without any real understanding. The Freeport is a big fat white elephant.
Oh absolutely not. Just bookmark the thread and mark my words.Go on then.....
Why absolutely not?Oh absolutely not. Just bookmark the thread and mark my words.
Because I have learned my lesson on here.Why absolutely not?
The lesson being? Sorry if I’m missing something here.Because I have learned my lesson on here.
I’m not going to argue with you, I’m interested to hear your reasons for the statement. I’ve already said I’m no expert so I can hardly put you to any sort of sword.Because I have learned my lesson on here.
You are aware that organised crime has been and continues to happen on Teesside every day and has done since the dawn of man.This.
Plus organised crime.
And less tax take for the likes of the NHS.

I'd probably be more concerned with the human rights issues and where the money actually came from, to be perfectly honest.we could win the premier league in the next 5 years after an Arab investment and some on here would still **** and moan
Point proven.I'd probably be more concerned with the human rights issues and where the money actually came from, to be perfectly honest.
You're supposed to look at the available information, check the source, and formulate a view.Charter cities bad, charter cities good?.....who knows?
Same here I’m no expert either. Adi obviously is but won’t share his wisdom. He obviously thinks we are being sold a dud and people celebrating this amuses him for some strange reason.I’m not going to argue with you, I’m interested to hear your reasons for the statement. I’ve already said I’m no expert so I can hardly put you to any sort of sword.
And that justifies anything they do elsewhere in the world?The owners of Man City haven't done too badly for the club and the surrounding area for example.
Haha! Yes I see what I did there in posting a link from a pro charter city source. However, to the uninitiated like me it does paint a different picture / counter viewpoint to your posted link. Who of us who are not experts is to say which posted link offers the more accurate assessment? Each article is written by a person with a vested interest or personal viewpoint, I can read both and decide how I want to process the different viewpoints. I am on balance taking today’s announcements re Teesside as a positive and will see how it develops or not over the coming years before hammering my stake firmly into the ground on either side of the argument. You are of course correct that we should hold people in office to account, but we can only do that post hoc.You're supposed to look at the available information, check the source, and formulate a view.
I've almost gasted my flabber learning that the Charter Cities Institute is in favour of Charter Cities. Whodathunkit?
We didn't miss out.London was one of the eight.
I didn't say that. The club isn't the owners and the owners aren't the club.And that justifies anything they do elsewhere in the world?
You're happy to 'sportswash' the human rights abuses that happen in the UAE 'cos they sponsor a UK football team?
Sorry, I was just nit-picking your "who knows" comment.However, to the uninitiated like me it does paint a different picture / counter viewpoint to your posted link.
