The nicest areas of Liverpool are being cleansed of the poor.
AS anyone noticed how the whole of the city centre is being yuppified. The so called city of culture and regeneration scam is only benefitting the neo-rich. Thousands of parasites have been decending on the city since over a billion pound came into the city. Yet the avarage income of most local people has actually got worse in the city. the biggest industry for locals is call centres. On the streets of Liverpool we see cars and shops we would never have seen 10 years ago - or at least they would have been damaged - by class conscious locals. What has happend to the resistance. There must be thousands of people out there who can see what is going on. And its getting worse. Flats that use to belong to housing assocations are now going for £100 - 150 thousand, even low proffesionals could not afford these prices.
Anyway this city of culture - we the concerned and caring people of the city need to get together and start challanging this money grabbing scum.
Thats one of my rants.
Well done indymedia Liverpool.

Well done boys, that's a GREAT advertisment for the working class!!!!
Just take your misery out on someone who happens to be more fortunate than you, and continue to perpurtuate the myth that all working class people go and vandalise the property of the more fortunate, and rob and steal of them. The Daily Mail loves people like you.

Come to thing of it, I am not really sure you can distinguish between working and middle class anymore, if anyting the divide is betweeen the corporate elites and they rest of the population, but just smashing windows etc isn't going to solve anything.
Yes, before you all flame me to a cinder, I am a class traitor, corporate whore, sell out, champane socialist, or anything else that you want to call me because I don't conform to your blinkered views. All I say to you is, "Yeah, so f'n what!!!"
