    UK Cities apparently astonished to learn they won't be eligible to apply for the European City of Culture in 2023... 4 years after we'll have left the EU.

    Really? I mean, REALLY?

    "It's particularly extraordinary especially as the bids have just gone in. ... And to wait until all the work had gone in and turn around and say, 'You can't do this' - it's shoddy treatment of Leeds and the other cities have worked so hard."
