Liverpool. City of culture?

Yes, somebody somewhere had a brain wave and the city of culture for 2008 is Liverpool! Don't laugh, it's true!

Now there are a lot of things that spring to mind when I think of Liverpool but culture isn't one of them. Drug abuse, theft, the worlds worse accent, ginger hair, drive by shootings, badly behaved football supporters but definately not culture!

In fact the only culture usually associated with Liverpool is the mold growing in the Premiership trophy cabinet at Anfield!

And they are spending 100 million pounds of taxpayers money to promote this ludicrous idea! I bet that makes the residents of places like Toxteth feel great as they look out of their boarded up windows at the burnt out cars!
