She got stick for being 'too common; for not knowing 'how to speak properly', for sticking her nose into 'men's business' you name it
Sounds ****ing well dodgy to me, unknown beats world famous emancipator, and well known local safety campaigner in vote. Wilberforce Bridge, Bilocca Bridge, or Murdoch Bridge with the Allam family in charge. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
We don't do ourselves any favours, the Yorkshire Post has gone with the headline... Hull's £12 million footbridge named after first woman fined for speeding https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/her...dx6yvbe9F_6z-f7tr3woLho1Xu11ynIVodKQ9dVORfTvI
I'd never heard of her until yesterday, no doubt did a wonderful job in her time, but not someone I would have thought would have been voted for above Lily Bilocca.
Once again by trying to be seen to do the right thing, democratic, giving everyone a voice and open to all they manage to **** it up and just make more of a problem. Why not just get a small group of people who take on board the general feeling and make a decision?
The one time the Hessle Road diaspora could have been of use and they clearly weren't mobilised to vote.
Anybody on Hessle Road who would remember her is likely long gone now. Hessle Road's full of E. Europeans.
From memory, they were spread around Bransholme at the time, so I guess there won't be too many left to remember.
Well there obviously won't be many who remember Lill but there are certainly some who do. More than those who will remember any of the others surely.
The Hessle Road diaspora is tainted by Rugby League which split the vote with the first woman RL referee taking votes off Big Lil, eggchasing before fishing?
There was a brief glimpse of my right shoulder being on the TV news when she was being interviewed by I think it was BBC. They were interviewing her outside our office and I just happened to walk out when going to lunch.
