Just read it on Guardian website, I' know there are genuine reasons for some people, but it pigs me off when they talk about all 12- 18 years old in longford having no chance of making anything of themselves. Look at Chris Riley he should be a real role model for the kids in that area, he took himself as a kid to play rugby and look where he is, some of the lazy gits just need some discipline and reality checks, you dont get owt for nowt in life it just needs a bit of effort instead of self pity... getting of my soap box now...rant over

It's Longford see link www.hpmmag.com/newsitem.asp?newsID=286

if a volunteer worker ever came to me with a camera crew i'd kiss their booty all week and tell him how poor i am and tell him im at least £250,000 in dept

What a ham shanker he is, fancy tarring all of warrington with the same brush after only visiting Longford.

Someone should have taken him round Grappenhall Village or Stretton before he came out with all his slanderous stereotypical insults aimed at Warrington and its inhabitants not to mention the rest of 'up north'.

C4 should commission a seperate programme whereby salt of the earth good people of the 'up north' go down south and teach them some bloody manners...free of charge!!

Here's hoping that his plumbing empire suddenly hits the skids and he loses everything and ends up back in the slums...the pretentious prat.

What rubbish.

Would hardly call Longford one of the most deprived areas of the country.

Anything to sell a television programme.

Who cares if it puts the town down, we're getting on the tele. We know what the town is like, who cares what others think.

I have family that live in London. When they come to visit us they are amazed at the amount of green space we have. Longford is nowhere near as deprived as some places in London, so if he was brought up in the slums of the city Longford would look lovely in comparison. Everywhere has a drug problem just some areas hide it better. If he was really shocked at how poor the area looked they must have concentrated on about 2 streets!

only the Neasden side, Wembley is fairly upmarket compared to places like Harlesden, Hackney and Tottenham

My sister works for a homeless charity in Warrington and the producers went there to see if was suitable for the programme but they didn't get picked.

According to some govermant stats sadly parts of Longford a deemed some of the most deprived parts of the country.

They actually made warrington sound worse than it is.

It amazing what the right camera shot can do to make an area look worse or better than it is.

that opening shot that you could just see the stadium supports in was a right choice, turn that camera round and you could see midland way, the new bus station and new car park.

Not exactly the sydney harbour bridge but broken windows and some of the fooking oldest looking buildings in the town centre.
