Prezza - North Vs South


Keef

Recommended Posts

John Presscott (who I am a fan of) doing a programme on BBC now about north south divide. I hate programmes like this, they will just interview the usual type of people who will say "soft southerners", "northern monkey", and all that shite!


Same as Prezza's programme about class, it's all very outdated, which is his main problem. Shame because he is a good man, and very bright, but such a bloody relic from a time of class and unions, which frankly doesn't exist anymore (for better or worse).

What it comes down to is a Rich / Poor divide - you see this localised all over the country. North / South is just a lazy tabloid grabbing headline - but of course no one is interested to hear that Yorkshire snobs looks down on those in the London slums.


As for Prescott, I think he is more a rabble rouser than someone who was ever fit to lead.

    • FH is so much greener and IMO nicer than ED, sorry. Less commercialised.  The Great North Wood, Hornimans Gardens, Brenchley Gardens, One Tree Hill ) yep, some of that borders ED, so split between the two) 
    • Tesco sell pudding rice https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/254877391   And as for olive oil, my preference is the Spanish 2L cans in Sainsbury, it has a real nice peppery taste, not bland like the Italian one's I've tasted, but that's personal preference I suppose. 
    • It feels like a group who don't believe that private motoring should be discouraged and have no answers to the air quality problem, whereas the original Cleanairdulwich are campaigning to reduce pollution. Sadly we live in a world where if you are rich, you will generally live in nicer houses, have nicer environments and cleaner air.  That is capitalism for you, but I doubt whether there would be greater health equality in the former Soviet Union either.  Dulwich village was once full of industrialists and the like who didn't want to live in polluted central London where most would have made their money.  I will contact Cleanairdulwich and hopefully provide a better perspective.  Whether it is one individual or a whole community I support agree with what they are doing.  
    • ??? When they refer to "all Dulwich", I took that to mean including the residents of the streets where the traffic has been directed into due to the LTNs, which are presumably experiencing greater pollution/stress,  whereas the "privileged few" in the LTN areas are experiencing lower pollution due to less traffic. Hence the reference to inequality. Sorry if I've got the terminology wrong.
