AJ Jan 8: resentful
Shetland37: constructive/ factual
Winston: patronizing /self-righteous / condescending
Peter Boland: condescending /sarcastic
Team 1: Joanna, Lea and Marie-Aline → Accusatory /
threatening comment:
This kind of journalism is a shame for all readers. It's unbelievable
that they presentthe mayor in such a disrespectfulway, I hope it's
the last time I have to cope with something like this! If not, I won’t
buy this newspaperever again!
Team 2: Clara, Flavian and Gaby → Self-righteous / patronizing
comment:
This article is outrageous, it should by no means have beenas
disrespectfulbut rather more sensitive and balanced. It did not take
the mayor’s feelings into consideration.Next time, think of Camus
who famously said “understand but don’t judge”.
Team 3: Mario and Maxime → Appreciative comment:
Always good to read this type of article in the FT. Finally a piece that
sheds some light on who the mayor really is / showing the mayor for
who he really is. It’s important to denounce with facts what this
mayor has done to our city! This white mayor does not representus!
Detroit is not a city for white people and will never be. If the city is
doing better, it’s thanks to its workers.
Team 4: Ophélie,Romain and Valentine → Ambivalent comment:
On the one hand, the article allows us to understand how difficultit
is for the mayor to administrate the city, and how much efforthe has
put into it, the city being in a difficultsituation for years.
On the other hand, we cannot acceptthe heavy sarcasm used to
criticize the mayor. Criticism is important, but it has to be
constructive and improve the quality of future decisions,which
clearly isn’t done in this article.

2. Video 1: City of Industry - The Dawn and Decline of Industry: UK -
Manchester's Industrial Decline
They failed to adapt the city’s economyto globalization.
The lost their competitive advantage to the Far East.
Textile mills kept closing down, unemploymentwent up, buildings
were dirty, it was very polluted and overwhelmingly depressed.
Prime age adults who had lost their jobs didn't have any (other)
transferable skills and stayed unemployed for the rest of their
career.
No extra money went into schools to compensate forwhat was
happening.
 cluster of problems:bad housing + low skills + no jobs available +
lack of motivation  drugs and crime
The country was too centralised at the time for Manchester to stand
a chance
At the time a critical question that wasn’t asked was: how do you
diversify Manchester’s economyaway from Textile?
Video 2: Post-IndustrialRise of Manchester
Stable politics.
Long-term plan to fix things.
Tipping point: IRA bomb in 1996.
The city-center was devastated  major rebuilding programme
- Huge restoration projects,in particular of the historic quarter
around the cathedral that had been neglected until then.
- Now a pedestrian city
