People from Liverpool who aren't that different from anyone else, except we don't slag off other cities as much as everyone else slags us off.
The myth of scousers as criminals is usually reinforced by right wing toffs and the gutter press, who've never visited Liverpool - probably because we don't tolerate third-hand bigoted remarks from people who can afford a 'good education'.
Merseyside, with Liverpool at its centre, is one of the safest metropolitan areas in the UK according to Home Office statistics. A decline in the number of crimes reported per 100,000 of the population, has made Merseyside the third safest metropolitan area behind Northumbria and South Yorkshire - burglary rates are at their lowest levels for more than twenty years. Which probably explains why Ive heard so many students saying they feel safer in Liverpool than they do back home.
Don't believe the crap written about us.

Person from Liverpool. Scousers are generally welcoming, fun loving, hardworking and a talented breed of people. Over the years there has been a wealth of talent come out of Liverpool and that flame still burns bright today. Let me also mention that Liverpool will now be the Capital of Culture 2008, and with the funding from Europe, it can only make Liverpool even better. As for the people who like to use old boring stereotypes made popular in the 1980's, I really would like you to come and see for yourself. Either that or check the crime and unemployment stats, Liverpool has higher EMPLOYMENT rates and LOWER crime rates than the likes of Manchester and areas of London.

An inhabitant of a city fueled by insecurity, weakness and self pity. A city that has received millions in European funding over the years and is still in the top 5 deprived areas of Europe and a low academic record to match. In the main because of the lack of drive, ambition and a propensity to blame everyone else for their failiure. The scouser has a great deal of hatred from Mancunians for building the ship canal, which defined the demise of Liverpool port trade. Where most economies moved on, Liverpool cornered the market in whinging thus creating a culture of state dependency. A common question is why so many people hate Liverpool, because the Scouser hates himself.

A winging, whining rat with a chip on their shoulder who thinks everything is someone elses fault and that the whole world is against liverpool. A loud aggressive bully who thinks they are hilarious and that everyone else wants to hear what they think. The noisy drunken group who arrive at your hotel and ruin your holiday, and the reason your car no longer has a stereo.
"I love Liverpool, shame its full of fuckin scousers."
"Why is it that no matter where you go, there is always some idiot loudmouthed scouser who has to spoil it for everyone else?"

People from Liverpool. Like everyone else expect with an exaggerated accent. Yes like you, or in fact me. Some are "scum" but then again I imagine everywhere in the country has twats living there. So all you pricks from manchester, get a job and stop bitching about a place you can't afford to get to because you support several kids, have a drink problem and scav off the dole :)
