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.
