Same as this country has done for the last 100 years or so - by produce from elsewhere. Do your oranges, bananas, lemons, come from the North? Next time you go to Tesco look to see where most of the stuff is grown - even stuff that can grow here comes from Holland, Israel, etc, etc. Not the most observant being are we?

Yeah I'm sure if they import everything all will go brilliantly.
I mean lettuce, cucumbers, most of the meat products they eat in the big smoke, tomatoes, carrots etc.
Like I said if the rest of the country pull their services to London in the same way as Boris is talking about pulling the money from the rest if the country the folks in London will bleat like buggery about how unfair it us that they are being picked on and are struggling to put food on their tables.
Only someone who is totally thick will struggle to understand this.
That is clearly where you come in!!!

Would have thought that even the thickest could see that economically unviable places would suffer more. If hand outs are taken away there will clearly be short term pain until people get up and do something positive about it.

I shall discuss this on that thread this is about your idea that Hull is the worst place to live even though evidence has proven otherwise.
Still I won't hold my breath waiting for you to admit your mistakes as it takes a man to admit he is wrong.

Haggerston is part of Hackney.

Mind, on the old crime thing, I looked out of my kitchen window a couple of weeks ago and realised that I could actually see the police tape around a crime scene just a few metres away.

Actually, there's no evidence that it was the scene of a crime - just where they fished the torso of Gemma McCluskie out of the canal.

They've found one her arms since, apparently.

I've been to both and I'd rather live in Hull than smugly Pooteresque St feckin Albans, where the feelgood factor comes from their house prices and looking down their noses at Hemel Hempstead.

I refer to St Albans as Chav Central. It is, generally, populated by the pushy, rude, scuttling classes. In fact, the worst people on the whole railway line.

The problem with Hull is unlike places like London it has not yet embraced mass immigration, areas with a high level of cultural diversity and a significant Islamic population like London are far better in terms of social cohesion and general social behaviour than places like Hull that are just full of the traditional natives. I think the things that the Daily Mail has noticed about Hull need to be highlighted and should encourage the city to open its doors to multiculturalism.

Indeed. Anything that might serve to civilise the natives would be a good thing. People to set an example for them.

Try walking around Hull and then come back to me.

So Haggerston then?
Oh wait we have already established you are talking out of your hat so never mind.

When you say 'try' is that because you think it's unlikley that he / she would get far without being subjected to a criminal act?

We have no history of cultural diversity other then a high level of European ancestry, Scandinavian and Dutch names are very common in and around Hull. The city looks towards Europe perhaps more then any other it has always had links with immigrants, most passed through on there way to the USA. We have no employment opportunities for immigrants back in the 50s and 60s and thats why we do not have any. We do have large Polish contingent who have fitted in very well on the whole and have added to the food culture no end.

We have very little to none racial tension, like every large city we have our bigots but the national front/EDL have made little headway. The city has been a port for centuries and has welcomed many nationalities and faiths over that time. We should also remember that the anti slave movement was born with this city, William Wilberforce and Thomas Clarkson so lets get away from using the racial card.

The city of Hull has the same problems as many in this land, however we do not have a gun problem and the use knives is rare. Its a safer place to live then some city's not too far away and one I am happy to live in.

I note you seem to think you know everthing.

Maybe if they were in central Hull but not as likely as if they were in Haggeston something that you cannot seriously argue away.
Like I say in future think before you post so as not to let you look like you are a one eyed idiot.
