that doesn't quite equate to 'the suffragette movement began' there though, eg if one wants to be foundational 'The inaugural meeting of the Women's Franchise League (WFL) was held on 25 July 1889, at the Pankhurst home in Russell Square' so say it played a crucial role, 'had roots in' etc, it's all rather unnecessary lily gilding

city state of manchester corp has always had a strong marketing dept, owen hatherley would have you believe the whole 80s scene was a scheme to drive up property prices orchestrated by tony wilson. after the mini riots they had their http://i1129.photobucket.com/albums/m516/Martinelli87/Chester.jpg~original guff out everywhere almost immediately, apparently they had it all ready to roll in the event of any threat to the brand. not to say you can't join in w yr own mythologising of manchester of course

manchester's relationship w its peripheral towns is unusual and somewhat fractious so generally their legacies are kept distinct but bolton's blackout crew did appear in the manchester day parade one year iirc

I didn't realize how many of these krauts our country suffered from until both nakh and Tom Smith from TLASILA both pointed out that German-Americans make up 15.2% of the US population

German-Americans are 'the largest self-reported ancestry group' in the United States, and just think of all the ones who are too embarrassed to admit they're German.

aren't they kinda like the eyeties and are very proud of where they're from despite the fascism? isn't the problem that they're not embarrassed enough?

there's plenty of radical women in manchester's history besides the pankhursts, campaigners have keenly felt the relative lack of self-mythologising in this area and so there has been a #womanchester campaign to get a statue erected in the city centre, some sort of vote has been taking place

Esterhazy was discreetly put on military pension with the rank of Major. On 1 September 1898, having shaved off his mustache, he fled France, via Brussels, for the relative safety of the United Kingdom. From Milton Road in the village of Harpenden, he continued to write in anti-Semitic papers such as La Libre Parole until his death in 1923. He is buried in St Nicholas' churchyard, Harpenden under the name of Jean de Voilemont. A headstone was erected shortly after with the false name and a false birthdate with an inscription from Shelley: "He has outsoared the shadow of our night".

A typical bullshit list. The Hall caters to baby boomers, and will pick the artists that will generate the most revenue from said demographic.
