Default Re: UK has 3 million workless households

Just never struck me as somewhere to go unless it's to Devon or a seaside area... or to visit family down there.

but to live there??? I went to London once and found I couldn't breathe when Rush hour started, it was bad, thought I was going to suffocate, I know it sounds mad as people obviously live there, but I have never been subjected to so much polution in one go.

Like the third world in Rotherham, it's painfully poor.

Nobody 'lives' in the City, which is the only place outsiders ever see.

Victoria Park, in Hackney, London, where I was born.
