"aint nuffinc for nuffinc mister".... omfg.

my home-town.
going there used to be a nice experience,
have a walk around,
do a bit of shopping.

but now,,,,,,,,
i'm saddenned,disappointed,dis-heartenned, and dismayed.
and when i go there,
i can't get out quick enough.

boarded up shop windows,derelict doorways,pools of vomit,polestyrene food trays,with left-over mess of that fkn purple cabbage.
fag-ends,beer-cans,leaves,pigeon-feathers.

man curled up asleep on the ground in a corner of the churchyard,
alkie?
druggie?
DEAD EVEN?
fuck knows.

oh,
my fucking,
god.

even the bus-stop's a no-go area.

how has it come to this?
why?

Because the 97% sat back while the 3% shafted everybody.

An example of the shafting....reported today:

Nearest to me would be the Peak District ,Yorkshire Dales and the North Yorkshire moors. The Yorkshire coastine from Ravenscar to Staithes is spectacular.

I was also impressed with the Roseland Peninsula in Cornwall

Blackpool is an unplayable lie seven days a week
