Its Grim Up North!

Cheeky bstrds. There is nothing wrong with my dark cave.

what i always like about these think tanks is the way they look at statistics.

A while back there was something about if your male in glasgow the average life expectancy was 65 (some 11yr off UK av.).

Now why would re-locating them to Edinborough make them live longer, just because the average life expectancy there is higher.

The same is true of this. The northern areas are obviously so poor and crime ridden because they're all workshy. Why would moving them down south do anything?

You're pretending to be all calm, but you're building a fort with sniper towers again, aren't you?

I can see some (typicly tory) logic behind this. At least I can see where their misguidedly coming from.

....up untill they suggest it'd be better to move to London. I'd rather move to a nuclear test site.

hang on a minute, we're not all like that up here - its just me.. i've been unemployed for 7 years, all the computer courses ive been on have been payed for by new deal, i'm scared of talking to people and havent applied for a job in 3 years, have no intention to for a few months either..

also, lovely sunny southport hasn't had that many murders lately. only 3 this past fortnight, 2 drug dens have been closed down, and at least 20 immigrants have been rounded up. plus we are trying to distance ourself from the new 'liverpool north' council thats trying to be set-up - mainly because we dont want to be associated with liverpool because we think its a bit rough..


hang on, thats not really defending the north is it - i'll go lye down and have a nice lye in until 1pm, just because i can..

(live in a £400k house though, so its not all bad.)

So, Northern Cities such as Liverpool and Bradford are "beyond revival", and residents should emigrate south.



I've been saying its time to do away with these hell holes for years!

Excellent idea they should all move nextdoor to TheAnimus

We may not be as rich as the South, but I'll take being able to walk around and feeling safe here in Sheffield over being paranoid I'm going to get robbed every day in London (says he who is moving to London soon...not out of choice mind you)

So you took Fuddams prediction on that one seriously then..?

Nah, twas just a dream. David Bowie was there on big raft with the pigeons, rats, and foxes, and they all had a jolly old knees up.

You know what, to be fair, I may consider moving down south if I ever get tired of conversation, politeness and reasonable prices.
