And at the same time as this was out I remember some of the business pages saying that Warrington was the second most successful town in the UK (behind Worthing). In my usual simplistic 2+2 way, put these two together and it seems that success cannot get you a decent quality of life OR................................. all statistics are bo##ocks that can be used to "prove" anything. I even remember my old maths teacher using them to prove that 2=1.

Statistics show that 6 out of 7 dwarves aren't happy.

or grumpy...see I always look for positives

Surely a case for the local MPs to tackle.

There should be an argument for transfer revenues from more affluent areas for regeneration. Why don't they divert some of the money thats being wasted in places like Salford and Liverpool who have fancy dockside developments, to areas which really need it like Warrington?

I like Warrington, live in Orford and its okay lol.

Most of the town is okay but theres a few places that drag the town down....Parts of Oakwood. Dallam, Parts of Orford, Bewsey etc

And there are also parts of Warrington that still retain an element of "community"....parts of Dallam, Parts of Orford, Bewsey as opposed to the affluent but "cant give a damn about your neighbours" areas of parts of Appleton, parts of Walton, parts of Stockton Heath.

Which gives a better sense of well being, a hard-working, working class person from Bewsey or a family money never did a hard days work in your life person from Walton. People don't drag parts of towns down, media reporting, social deprivation and CRAP SURVEYS drag parts of town down.

Excuse me, but why have people from Walton (as you quoted, and you probably include Stockton Heath / Grappenhall / Appleton )never done a hard days work in their life?

Surely, they've had to work hard, to afford their mortgages, etc. Or are you another working class warrior, with a chip on your shoulder against anyone who's actually got off their ar5es, and done better for themselves.

If you live in a town or city, w herever you live in the UK or possibly anywhere in the world you are never more than 5 miles from a dump

Get rid of the Eastern Europeans, that'll solve everything.

Its not the Eastern Europeans who are wanting to put Muslamic law over our country.

But they have their own 'wall' in Tesco, a wall which should be used instead for a traditional British pizza deli counter.

this statement reminds me of a tv interview i watched with a rather bright EDL member during the recent march in blackburn i think it was! pmsl
