bad irony I suppose, but I'm warmed by the response

Titus knew how to get the best from his workers.

Not sure I agree with his ideas on temperance...

Another Saltaire is exactly what we need IMO. If anyone even knows who he is without wikipedia nowadays.

You mean Sir Titus Salt?

The Aire is the river...

Although Bradford does feel a bit Grim it is not that bad. Has some decent food, generally nice people and not as bad as the media makes it out to be.....

Liar

I like Saltaire. Did a couple of contracts there for "Pace".

I felt similarly after a recent trip to Bradford.

First - watch Idiocracy for the end game, its extreme but funny.
Second - Bouncing benefits at these people is the price we have to pay to stop them rampaging the streets. If you want to know what it would be like, look at the riots or walled communities in SA or Brazil with people living in fear of the hordes outside. Give 'em enough to pay for tabs, ale and sky and we can get on with our lives.
Third - There just isn't work available for the numbers of people with no/few skills anymore, it's all gone offshore and won't come back.
It's not going to change, earn enough to move somewhere nice and forget about it....

lukemg - could you be hired to give lessons of how to post please? You've said in a few lines what I've been rambling for pages on...

Impossible.

This is CUK, you can't derail a CUK thread, they're mostly off the tracks before they start.

Turnips!

And it always coincides with economic crises?

At least you've ruled out stupidity as a cause.

I blame the airing of shows like "Shameless" that glorify fiddling the benefits etc.

Never miss an episode, it's brilliant

Too many feckless bastards around who think the world owes them a living.

I drove through Wigan last week. What a tuliphole. I'd want to riot if I had to live there, otherwise I would have left years ago. What a depressing tulip tip of a town.

It was fine when we took the canal boat through in 1989.

What could have possibly gone wrong since?

[SupremeSpod]

How do you account for a substantial increase in unemployment?
