British European city of culture

I expect most of the people they are hurting are remainers.

I feared it would be Leeds, a fortune saved. The tax payers already get stiffed for various cycling vanity projects. I am sure there is benefit in this kind of thing, for those involved in the bidding at least.

Nicola Sturgeon has said she is "absolutely dismayed".  Stoopid biatch!

Too late, Leeds(and a few others) already 'spent' a million or two on nowt  .

Perhaps we should add up all the expenditure and knock it off the Brexit bill.

Two non EU countries have had capital of culture awarded so this looks like a reprisal for brexit

It's the EU we're leaving, not Europe.

More evidence of what a bunch of precious jerks the Cabal are.  Fcuk 'em.

What a vile, spiteful and vindictive organisation they are.

Only 30p per taxpayer spent so far in Leeds according to the council. That's a result.

*possibly said 30p per person, still a result.
