Hull being depressing is laughable. It's a gorgeous place and you just pulled some numbers out your arse and only went off it's crime statistics. The people are lovely, great food, fun activities and beautiful architecture. I already liked Hull, but when I had to live somewhere that wasn't Hull (Blackburn), it was truly miserable. I wanted to be back in Hull basically every day and when I finally returned to Hull, I've loved it ever since.

A channel named *Learning Canteen* based in the *Ukraine* which doesn't learn anything, and just spreads nonsense about places in the UK, which its heard from elsewhere, over and over again. *Bradford* was voted the 4th *UK's City of Culture* ever a few days ago. It's also: The *6th Biggest City in the UK by Population* - *542,128* to be exact. *The 7th Biggest City in the UK by Area* - *141.47 square miles* (366.41 square kilometres) to be exact. The World's 1st *UNESCO City of Film* and home of the *National Science and Media Museum,* which includes *Europe's First IMAX* and just the *3rd Remaining Cinerama Screen in the World.* The 7 time *Curry Capital of Britain* winners, and frequent hosts of the *World Curry Festival.* The Unofficial *Tea Capital* (if you want to know my reasons, then ask). The Former *Wool Capital of the World.* The Birthplace and Home of *The Brontë's* etc. Yet it's... Missing from most Maps of the UK's Cities. Missing from most Tourism websites. Ignored by the Mainstream Media...when it comes to the good stories at least. Even when the media do actually mention *Bradford,* it'll get a small mention, while the cities which they incorrectly assume are bigger, get almost entire articles to themselves. Plus when they actually visit *Bradford,* I often find them claiming to be *"near Bradford,"* or *"just outside Bradford,"* even when they're less than 2 to 3 miles from *Bradford City Centre.* As for *Kingston upon Hull* that was voted the 2nd *UK City of Culture* ever, and.... *Birmingham* is the *UK's largest city by population* (don't reply to me saying "you forgot about London" as London is not a city, never has been a city, and never will be a city), so it must have some attractions as why would anyone live there if there wasn't?

Not to mention the property market is booming in Birmingham. This city is going through a lot of transformation, the commonwealth games were hosted here.

There's 1000s I know of which are missing, never mind incorrect or incomplete. I mainly used to concentrate on adding and updating short films, mainly from the film students at the *Bradford College* and the *University of Bradford,* however after losing 10,000+ *Bradford* videos/images in February this year, which included a lot of rare TV films which will never be shown on TV again, I've now decided to concentrate on updating TV series, TV films and feature films. In the last week or two I've added and updated the cast, crew, companies etc for at least 16 TV episodes, from 3 different shows, which were mainly filmed in *Bradford,* plus many more things along the way. While looking for something regarding one of those shows, I randomly stumbled across an 11 year old news article about a writer from *Bradford,* who created the sitcom *Trollied* (2011-2018). That show was also originally supposed to be set in *Bradford,* yet even though she said they then decided to set the show in an *"unspecified location in the North West,"* it wasn't unspecified, as they set the show in *Warrington,* so I suspect someone from there twisted her arm. That writer also just happens to be the co-creator of *Hullraisers* (2022-present), yet her name is missing from the *Wikipedia* article about the show, so I will be updating that too eventually, along with double checking all the credits on *IMDB.* *Hullraisers* also stars at least 2 lead actresses from *Bradford,* and at least 2 more people who have starred in multiple *Bradford* based productions each.

Birmingham is a city of humanity to its full extent, and there is a lot of beauty to humanity. Selly Oak feels like a world of its own dominated by this student sociosphere, overlooked by the gorgeous University of Birmingham, a world class campus. Edgbaston has gorgeous trees, amazing botanical gardens, and University of Birmingham. Harbourne brings a thriving diverse cuisine culture. There are samples of the best cuisine from all around the world, is a place where one can feel overstimulated by choice. In a distance you can see the Queens Elizabeth Hospital which just looks so grand. If you go to the south west you get to Bourneville, the whole place smells like chocolate, especially around the historic Cadbury Factory. Kings Heath and Moseley has a thriving music scene which attracts a lot of lesser known talent. Gorgeous pub culture, I find that there will always be a pub for you to love, traditional or contemporary one to suit any personality, one of the most fun things to do as an alcohol enjoyer in Birmingham is a pub crawl. It adds an adventure to any night and because there are so many places to go for a drink, it is inevitable to have a story to talk about for years. No night is ever truly the same. Digbeth is awesome, full of street art and a place to go for a dance music enthusiast on any spectral alignment, be it House, Techno, Jungle, Deep Dubstep, Dub, Reggae, Ska, Drum and Bass, Bassline, Soul, Disco, Funk, Pop, Jazz, Rock - this place rewards a good taste through research and preparation. There are plenty of events and it is often hard to choose, applications like Skiddle and RA are a great starting point to find events around Bham. There is the classic club night energy of Broadstreet for all its good and the bad, a street of glam. There is Hippodrome a musical theatre venue like no other with some of the best events and the most wholesome and kind members of staff. There is the Gay Village with a colourful and vibrant night life. There is the picturesque Brindley place with a classy atmosphere a great place to go for a romantic getaway. There is the Jewellery quarter where there are so many Jewellery stores and red brick architecture. These are the factors I am most enthusiastic about, but this list is not extensive and,I after 8 years, still find new angles and am welcome through all doors. Birmingham is a fantastic city 💜

It is indeed, very unfortunate and a bitter reality that the UKs system of state support entraps people who seek benefits. The moment any form of reliable, personal wealth and economic stability is established, the eligibility to claim such support is stripped. To my understanding this works more like a trigger mechanism rather than a gradual transition. This in turn traps people in under compensated and under appreciated professions which do not allow for a significant jump to be made to allow for people to create prospects in these areas - and often these professions are the fibre of the society. Success has to be overwhelming to give people enough confidence to no longer seek benefits. Unfortunately, current economic environment does not support those that work hard, hard workers are exploited by the management who ensure a higher profit margin that secures better share holder dividends pay-out. What also secures better profits are lower costs, savings are made by offering the bare minimum for workers salaries. This issue is not exclusive to Birmingham, this is a UK issue and all cities have areas where people are unable to make the jump from the estates to the city centres. The top down investment has not lead to any real improvement to prospects that are truly worth giving up the stability of the benefits. Birmingham does not feel like an active industrial city that it is portrayed as, instead it feels like a museum to the industry titan which it once was. It was this industrious identity which allowed for people to have the initial economic freedom to make the leap to live in the more 'prosperous' parts of the city. As the city is becoming more and more gentrified I cannot help but feel that it will widen the gap which communities seeking benefits must leap over to seek life more prosperous parts of the city which are becoming more common, and expensive, by the day. So fellow Internet stranger, do not think of my comment as naive, by no means am I trying to paint a picture of Birmingham as a city that has complete fairness and equality and opportunity for all. All of the UK has a way to go yet to better distribute its wealth and expertise. I just feel that Birmingham has enough going on in many parts to make that leap much more exciting, and achievable.

True Mancuians are nice but the influx of middle class working in the city are just a down right rude. 3 Brighton ...dirty lost of rundown areas. Brighton is the only place I've been to where I have genuinely felt scared and unsafe. What what makes these three cities stand out are the people thses are the cities where I have found the majority of people to be rude unfriendly and unhelpful.

Utter drivel and a highly selective set of ‘views’ and facts. I spent ten fantastic years in Hull after Uni. A fantastic place, with fantastic warm people who made me welcome and I miss the place 30 years later and still love to visit. Great architecture, history, galleries, music venues and the fantastic Old Town. Yes, it has its issues and downbeat areas (doesn’t everywhere?) but it regenerated very nicely after the City of Culture years and even though Covid lockdown gave it a good kicking it’ll be back.

For most working people London has to provide the worst challenge to survive, plus every journey is hard work despite a large subsidy to public transport. It is the playground of the ultra-rich, so if you want to enjoy city life try Birmingham or Manchester, they have most of the advantages such as a big job market, great cultural facilities and lively night life combined with far greater convenience and affordability. I have experienced all three at first hand, so if you are a city lover but you are not wealthy, heed my advice.

I've worked in Bradford and Hull, but lived in small towns on their edges. I took the bus to Bradford and cycled into Hull. The Northern outskirts of Bradford are full of very pleasant places to live and this extends right down to the stone-built area of Manningham. With Hull, it is the west and north sides of the city and its peripheral towns and villages that play the same role. In both cities, I taught in high-performing schools, where a majority of the most successful pupils went to good universities and then got jobs elsewhere, often in or near London. It's a vicious circle. There isn't enough high-level economic activity in these cities to keep their most dynamic young people there and because these young people leave, the level of economic activity remains low. By contrast, places like Sheffield, Leeds and Manchester seem to be able to attract more highly-qualified young people with dynamism that feeds into the local economy. It helps that these three cities have high-ranking universities, full of students from other parts of the country. Going into these cities on visits, you don't have the same feeling of being somewhere that is struggling to energise itself.

Besides, it's chaotic and difficult to get around the City Centre especially every time they do some so called improvement they move all the bus routes around, Birmingham is an embarrassment in that it doesn't even have a Bus Interchange and none of the transport systems are close together like other towns and cities.

Just another excuse to try and put down birmingham. This has been going on for years, to no effect. Name any city worldwide that can hold the commonwealth games without having to build a stadium for the athletics because it already has one good enough; you can't. Most cities holding the commonwealth games have to build one with central government grants then it gets given away to a rich football club as in london and mnchester. Central government hates birmingham because it can't control it with money; birmingham is rich enough to pay it's own way and the government doesn't like it. Hence the bs in films lime this one trying to put birmingham down.

Some of the misinformation included in this video includes: 1 - "Birmingham is one of the largest cities in the UK." False. Birmingham is the largest city in the UK by population, as London is not, never has been, and never will be a city. 2 - Them saying go live in a retail park in Hull where there are no houses. 3 - That Hull was voted 137th out of 138 cities in the UK, yet that's not possible, as there's only 70 cities in the UK as of today, however that will soon be increased to 76 cities. 4 - That Bradford includes the counties of Lancashire and North Yorkshire, when what it should have said is "it also borders the counties of Lancashire and North Yorkshire." 5 - The ODEON in Bradford is more famous for being a cinema as that's what it was used for most recently and was used for for the majority of its history (and a venue for an exclusive preview screening of the Doctor Who Christmas Special in 2017), however he's correct it was also partly used as a ballroom and music venue (among other things) in its early years where acts like The Beatles played mainly in the 60s. 6 - "Bradford introduced free school meals and medical checks" which everyone in the UK gets for free on the NHS anyway. However Bradford created the concept of free school meals. 7 - "Bradford was recently ranked 2nd worst place to live" according to who? The only recent list I can find ranks Bradford 10th, and those type of lists are usually made by energy companies. 8 - That "Bradford is 35% unemployed" a figure which is repeated in multiple videos of theirs, yet the actual figure is 6.3% as of the latest 2021 statistics.
