Manchester United and Manchester City fans may be enemies on the terraces, but they are in revolt together over a 'woke nonsense' campaign to cancel the ships on their club crests over disputed claims they are symbols of the slave trade.
The Premier League giants' badges both have three-mast ships at the top - an emblem of the city and more specifically a tribute to the opening of the Manchester Ship Canal in 1894.
But Left-wingers say the ship, a symbol of the city also carved into the town hall and the city council's crest, symbolises the slave trade, and should be replaced by a bee - the poignant symbol used in the aftermath of the Manchester Arena bombing in 2017.
