You visited Crosby for pity's sake - it's not the inner city.<BR/><BR/>Nevertheless that someone who is the editor of his purported "North West region" is so ignorant and prejudiced about one of the two biggest cities in the "region" his magazine is meant to cover - it confirms yet again the insanity of Liverpool ever being reported by Manchester-based media operations. <BR/><BR/>Too many Mancunians seem to be so bitter and insecure about Liverpool - somehow, deep down, they realise that, despite the now decades of ridiculous hype about their city issuing from the usually London-based media institutions that have parachuted "regional" offshoots into their city, the place, regenerated a somewhat or not, is really nothing special. A big, ugly, sprawly milltown with some London backoffices parachuted into it and some of the worst social and crime problems of a city in western Europe, not to mind the UK.<BR/><BR/>Harsh? Well you started it, and nothing of what I have written isn't true.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
