Andy Burnham says English National Opera doesn't deserve to come to Manchester if it thinks the city's full of heathens

What’s up, is his pal the lord looking into opera and doesn’t like the competition

Manchester is not worthy of the English National Opera.

Burnhan is such an inverted snob.

Fair enough

Don't need ya poncy wailin' vowels up 'ere. Yours sincerely, Proud Heathen xx

So he'd rather Manchester lose investment and future growth?

AndyBurnhamGM If we're such heathens then why do we support the Opera House, the Palace Theatre, the Lowry and Bridgewater Hall.(everyone has been packed out)Don't come English National Opera.

He needs to be sorting out the knife crime problem we have, rather than get involved with opera

One night down deansgate locks would put them in their place. You tell them Mayor.

What about Rochdale ?

Why antagonise them? We have good credentials for supporting the arts.
