What do people think of the Spectator's comments on the people of Liverpool. After reading the piece, I must admit, I found myself agreeing with it. The people of Liverpool do take a pride in being Liverpudlians that borders on arrogance; while conversely, they wallow in the status of victimhood. Of course, morbid wallowing in grief is not restricted to Liverpool. You need only look at the irational outpouring of grief at Princess Diana's death which came close to mass hysteria. However, Londoners, while maybe annoyingly cocky, do not take an arrogant pride in being Londoners. Am I being unfair to the people of Liverpool? I speak as a Londoner by the way.
