I’m a big United fan and I have been since I was small. I even managed to cope with the fact my first visit to Old Trafford was the infamous 4-1 New Years’ Day thumping by Queens Park Rangers in 1992. However even I can’t help thinking that the yes campaign is really struggling when Labour have to wheel out Sir Alex Ferguson to back the congestion charge tax.
As a football manager, Fergie is beyond compare, but I’m not sure what makes him an authority on the congestion charge and TIF bid. Of course, those of us with an interest in politics remember the last time Labour in the North-West wheeled out Sir Alex in a desperate bid to shore up their campaign – and we all know how well that turned out.
