michael Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7556937.stm Cities in northern England such as Liverpool, Sunderland and Bradford are "beyond revival" and residents should move south, a think tank has argued. I agree, the north would be a much nicer place with all the people from Liverpool, Sunderland and Bradford down there annoying you. Get those spare rooms ready southern types Restrictions on house-building in the south-east should be lifted to lower house prices and stop people on low incomes being "trapped" in less prosperous parts of the country, the authors said So not only are they suggesting you should get more annoying people down there they also want to steal all your grass and lower your house prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Sounds like an excellent plan to me. Bradford should be levelled and started from scratch once everyone has been moved down south. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juanchan Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I know numerous northern types living down here. We're not all bad Now that Eastern Europe has moved to the South of England, I'm really not sure if there would be space for Northern blokes too:Pling: True. I remember ages ago hearing on the local news that Southampton is officially 10% polish by nationality. Every other person you walk past on the streets isn't speaking English, so I'd guess it's a fair bit higher than that now. That said, they do work hard, unlike the scrounging chavs we have in the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
