To be fair they certainly havenā€™t been dining out on Cilla and Tarbuck. Nobody in Liverpool has a good word to say about either of them, they canā€™t stand them. And i donā€™t think they dine on Beetles. Not yet anyway.šŸ˜ ---

Comparing Liverpool to Southampton for tourists is like comparing San Francisco and Moscow for gay rights. ---

Because they were tories and couldnā€™t wait to leave Liverpool, they also donā€™t mention that Lennon and McCartney were middle class and Lennon was a wife beater eitherā€¦ ---

Except that wasnā€™t what you mentioned(and neither was my post). Given that, itā€™s a shit analogy from your point of view Barry, because Liverpool would very much be the Moscow of your nightmares, considering its fucking hideous slave trade history, which letā€™s be honest is the only reason it ever built up in the first place. Apart from that itā€™s a ferry port, a bit like Ramsgate, Dover and Harwich, except they serve(d) a whole continent. So a ferry town that got rich on racism and claims a middle class wife beater as as a deity, whilst showing an unhealthy fixation with victim hood has no real claim to be superior to anywhere else. Now what would you like to see Southampton do. Where are they going wrong with the budget available. Think positive, no whinging victim hood šŸ˜‰ ---

You can include Bristol and London in that as well, just thank the Lord youā€™re not gay and living in Russia SOS, do you support Putin on that as well? ---
