    I'm not even an atheist so much as I am an antitheist; I not only maintain that all religions are versions of the same untruth, but I hold that the influence of churches, and the effect of religious belief, is positively harmful. [Christopher Hitchens]

        1. It's cold
        2. It's grim
        3. Too many housing estates
        4. Liverpool
        5. The waiting in shops while the servers prattle on
        London is, without question, the dirtiest place in Britain. Walk in central London for an hour then blow your nose ....black.

            #TakeUsWithYouScotland

            "Thousands of people in the North of England have been using the hashtag "take us with you Scotland" to express their upset about the result of last week's general election, and the Scottish nationalists are welcoming this English minority with open arms."

                Its hilarious really. I met two guys in London once who were going to the "countryside" for the weekend. I enquired where. "Birmingham".

                  True dat, I've spoken to people who work in Chester who've never been to Wales (which is almost next door) as it's abroad
                  Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

                  No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

                    Sorry there's no money for the north, it's being spent on essential utilitarian infrastructure in London:

                      True that is.. CrossRail, HS2, road tunnels under monuments. Yup.

                      Here we get mini-roundabouts which just popup here and there as traffic improvements. and white markings around the potholes. New bus facilities for the people who still bother to take the buses that don't quite go far enough.
