So (as I've said many times before) that explains why its the debt capital of Britain !
ALL Labour areas are riddled with poverty - and the populace just keep voting to maintain that position (meanwhile Labour MPs get rich - very rich)
"The problem is particularly acute in five English cities, where more than 40% of the population is struggling to repay debt.
% of population struggling with debt
Hull 43.1%
Nottingham 41.2%
Manchester 41.1%
Knowsley 40.7%
Liverpool 40.6%

I think that London is the worst city in the uk. 95 per cent of the boroughs are dumps. Tower hamlets, harlesdon, Hackney, WIlesdon green, Wembley, Lambeth, Lewisham and the list goes on. The only nice parts are far too expensive for anyone except Russian olegarks to live there. Over 50 per cent are not white British, so it has very little identity. Knife crime is rife and it has the most acute poverty in the UK. Ok so it has a large choice of culture on offer, ballet,opera, theatre. The average person isn't interested in this bourgeois crap, except maybe once a year to catch a show. |

Hold on, have you ever been?
I am born and bred on the opposite side of the Humber (Lincolnshire) and I don't particularly like the Yorkshire attitude, arrogance, self knowing 'northern man' swagger..........
BUT I'll tell you this, I can see the through that barrier that they put against themselves (and with the flack they get, why wouldn't you put a barrier up?)......the City (again, have you ever been?) is no more or no less problematic or scenic as any other big population city with an urban sprawl.....don't single it out.
Celebrate the fact that it has ideas and the drive to promote itself beyond the 'recieved' perceptions that people have......culture is about celebrating the normal, the odd and the new and if a city has won a competitive selection process then it is churlish to moan and laugh about it........again, have you ever been?
I'm a Yellow belly too and I absolutely adore Hull. The Deep is one of the finest attractions in this country outside of London. It's easy to get round (unlike Leeds, Birmingham, Manchester) by car and it has everything you need. Congratulations to Hull! |
