Nice to see all the trite cliches dragged out again defending the shithole that Britain has been dragged down into by various rightist governments, whatever they call themselves.
I lived in London for thirty years - moved there from the North when unemployment loomed - never missed a days work there, unlike in the North.
First thing you notice is that Southerners had no idea of mass unemployment - no matter how bad it got there was always work - suggest you look at the figures. Maggie made the gap wider (this was after she had taken the free milk from impoverished schoolkids), but even before she graced us with her presence, the difference was enormous.
Personally I get pissed of with southerners living in Britain's soft underbelly telling us "we've never had it so good"; you've got no ******* idea, and most of you couldn't give a **** - "ding-ding, I'm on the bus" seems to be the slogan there.
Can't help but notice you've not responded to one fact put up, in the press, or from posters who have pointed out how it really is. - one more time from the 'leftist' Daily Telegraph http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/educationnews/5479729/Working-class-children-let-down-by-education-system.html
Don't live in this country - so what - have you met Bluesman he thinks like you - flag-waving prats, the pair of you.
