Innit.
It was more that living in Blackpool seemed to be equivalent to giving up on life.
I rarely engage in political discourse, as it goes. You're right, though: my views would likely be looked upon more favourably in the more-enlightened South.
That being said: Since I have actually lived in...
I tried living in Lancashire. Wasn't for me (quite possibly because when they called me a cock it was meant as a term of endearment, rather than the usual)

Says a lot about the white working class voters in Oldham, doesn't it?
So, the Muslim community is for progressive socialism. What exactly do the rest stand for?
