Who runs Manchester?

MULE | 11.12.2009 17:08 | Analysis

Q. What do the Sir Richard Leese and Wayne Rooney have in common?

A. It’s not the Circle Club! These two individuals are arguably among the most influential people in Manchester.
We want your help

MULE is asking readers to help investigate where power lies in Manchester. Is the mighty Manchester City Council in charge? Does the Chamber of Commerce really pull the strings? What other organisations operate beneath the radar? We want to know.

We have started compiling a list of people who we think have the most influence over the city but we would like you to give us your suggestions.

In the past we have looked at institutions such as CityCo, the Chamber of Commerce and Peel Holdings, but now we want to look at the people who run these and other powerful institutions.

Use the comments boxes opposite to add people you think should be on our list and why. Alternatively you can send info to our email address  editor@themule.info or via our Facebook page.

Here are a few easy suggestions from the MULE team to start with.

Howard Bernstein – Chief Executive of the City Council

Angie Robinson – Chief Executive of Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce

Peter Fahey – Chief of Greater Manchester Police

The list will be published in the next issue of MULE, out February 2010.

Great initiative

Great initiative. All cities and towns should do this.

But it's obvious, isn't it? Who is the leading Freemason?

Perhaps ask
The General Manager of Freemason's Hall in Manchester -

Mr H. Riedlsperger, Email:  jr@elmh.co.uk

Inside job seems to have got the general gist, is it one of the four "celebs" mentioned ?
or are they just "fronting" it ?

The 2 previous posts have got it right. The power lies with the Freemasons, like many other towns and cities as well as the country overall.

Peter Fahy is not a Freemason, I found that when he was Chief Constable of Cheshire. All the same, he is one of their whores and must be regarded as bent. ( Bent coppers are ten a penny are they not?)

I see that the Freemasons Hall is advertising as a venue for functions. Why not go along and have a look, a reccy of the members would pay off well. Just off Deansgate and a good location for a do. Surprise them!

you conspiracy nutcases.

The "masons" are masons because of who/what they are. Masonry is secondary.
