Thanks for this Thats a lot more to be learned about why the city has become despised by those in Government in the south..It started with Churchills ignoring the devastation the city suffered during WW2 The city was charged with supplying armaments to the UK plus convoys of merchant ships bringing in food from the USA The London ports being mostly out of action..The city docks and surrounding areas were relentlessly bombed by the Germans and in the end reduced to rubble in several consecutive raids THOUSANDS were killed but Churchill refused to tell the country saying it would be bad for moral. He in fact NEVER acknowledged the sacrifice..The strike came because the city had been simple abandoned to its lot..The factory owners felt they could pay slave wages. Churchill was a terrified of the people almost seeing it as a Zulu uprising such as he fought in the Boer war. He was utterly contemptuous of the city from then on. Margaret Thatcher saw it as her duty to carry on his contempt. She closed factories and put a million out of work.She was thwarted by the MP Michael Heseltine who she sent there to destroy his career He started a Garden for Liverpool movement which gave people jobs in clearing bombed land and putting in gardens Things moved from there to The re/building of the city centre with the shopping centre Liverpool one. with money from the Duke of Westminsters company and the EU...The Albert docks had been re/built and housed a museum..Now this wonderful city is brimming with museums ,art galleries and its spectacular architecture befitting what was once the second richest city in the UK.. The sheer evil of Churchill and Thatcher beggars belief....but then should we be surprised by what powerful people will do when the people rise

They missed out some pretty key stuff there. Whole chunks of New York are based on Liverpool landmarks, St Patrick’s cathedral was built from the blueprints of St Francis Xavier church on a larger scale, Central Park was based on Birkenhead park. The Beatles are fantastic, but our musical legacy is so much more than them, just look at the 80s, Flock of Seagulls, Echo & the Bunnymen, Black, OMD, Frankie goes to Hollywood, Dead or Alive, The Christians, The Las, the Lotus Eaters- all from Liverpool & so many more. My Grandad took me on a walk around all the abandoned warehouses at the waterfront when I was a little girl and I’m very proud of how far we’ve come., but the best part is the kindness of the people. You’re right, we do have homeless people, but we show them respect & we all give what we can- it’s rare to see anybody homeless without a carrier bag with some food that somebody kind has given them.

Hi from Ireland! (the north part). Also a huge Beatles fan who's visited Liverpool a few times. The segment about how it's looked down upon is in large part to do with their Irish heritage, with heavy historical immigration from here. The English love to have a next door neighbour to look down on, it spurs them on! This is also evident in the Scouse accent and vernacular, which borrow a lot from here - Dublin in particular. Fortunately the Irish influence (which thankfully led to both Lennon and McCartney being born, and indeed Harrison :p) also helped influence the left wing, anti-establishment sensibility the city is known for. Fair play lads!

An estimated 90% of Irish immigrants to the USA passed through Liverpool on their journey. If US immigration rejected them they were sent back to where they came from. As Ireland was not independent this meant they were just dropped off at the port of Liverpool. Being the easiest port for the starving Irish to get to during the 19th century potato famine thousands arrived in Liverpool. This brought the Protestant and Catholic problem to the city. In the late 1800's many young Irish woman arrived to work as domestic staff in the homes of the rich. My own great grandmother being one.

When the UK entered the EU, all major ports instantly shifted down South because it makes logistical sense to use the closest ports. Liverpool docks were no longer trading with America so Margaret Thatcher killed the area and tried to manage its decline. That decline was long and drawn out, and intermingled with several historical events, civil unrest, the Miners Strike and Hillsborough being just three of them. Thatcher's Conservative government, first elected in 1979, believed that declining industries should not be propped up, saw trade unions as an obstacle to economic growth and passed legislation to curb their effectiveness, becoming seen as being indifferent to the industrial decline in Britain in general, and Merseyside in particular, precipitating a slide into economic crisis and perceived moral decline. Thatcher was convinced by the Police about their version of events on visiting the scene the day after the Hillsborough disaster. Liverpool were fans were wrongly accused of being drunk and blamed for what happened to them. What she is despised for is allowing the cover up to be maintained, refusing to open an investigation to reveal the truth, and thereby allowing families memories and reputations to be stained for 27 years, thus her death is not mourned in Liverpool. Former home secretary Jack Straw accused Thatcher of fostering a "culture of impunity" for police, which he believes played its part in the cover-up that followed Hillsborough. It is not lost on some that the same South Yorkshire Police force in control that day had played an important role for Thatcher's government in tackling protestors during the miners' strike. The depth of feeling about her is best summed up by the fact that in 2004 the song "Ding-Dong! The Witch is Dead" finished at #82 in AFI's 100 Songs survey of the top tunes in American cinema. In 2013, the song charted to #2 on the UK Singles Chart in the aftermath of her death.

Liverpool is where I’m from, the city is part of me and always will be. I’ve lived away from the city for 18 years now but I plan to go back soon, once my youngest goes to university in about 3 years. I remember Hillsborough too well. I was 11 years old and while I didn’t know anybody who was there it was on live TV that classmates were watching and seeing the devastation live. My primary school took us 4th year juniors (year 6 these days) to Anfield to flowers and light candles in the kop. The Sun is still not sold in Liverpool, we will always remember and want justice for the 97. The blame has now been put in the right place but nobody has actually faced justice. I am very much of the Scouse not English. My roots lie largely in Ireland and Scotland so due to family I have always been more in tune with the Irish side of the city, or East Dublin as it is sometimes known! It wasn’t really until I left Liverpool at 28 did I realise that being Catholic (even though I am a vehemently non practicing) is actually a minority as Liverpool really is, due to the close tie with Ireland, a Catholic city.

There's a lot of prejudice against Liverpool. and scousers. I've honestly lost count of the times people have heard the accent and instantly made a joke about me robbing their stuff. There's been a few out of the city job interviews where the accent cost me, and now having been out the city a while i still have to fake my voice a bit every day in work to soften the accent. Hillsborough was a huge part of the issues in my lifetime, as my first football memory was laying flowers on the Anfield pitch the next day. Everyone i knew was friends or family with someone who had died there, and the entire country was saying it was their own fault. Not all scousers are blameless for the reputation, a lot try hard to live up to it but if you're genuine with most people they'll do anything for you like you've been friends for years. Great city to visit if in the UK.

The 1911 Liverpool general transport strike, also known as the great transport workers' strike, involved dockers, railway workers, sailors and other tradesmen. The strike paralysed Liverpool commerce for most of the summer of 1911. It also transformed trade unionism on Merseyside. For the first time, general trade unions were able to establish themselves on a permanent footing and become genuine mass organisations of the working class. The then Home Secretary Winston Churchill sent in troops and positioned the cruiser HMS Antrim in the Mersey before he was Prime Minister. 1911 is just befoe the 1st World War.

When the first shot of the American civil war was fired it was from a canon cast in Liverpool. The last act of the civil war was when the CSS Shenandoah surrendered in Liverpool in November 1865. They did his because not knowing the war was over, they had continued sinking Union ships and they would have been arrested for piracy. Liverpool backed the South while most of the UK backed the North. Another reason why Liverpool was different from the rest of the country. It didn't help that the British Government had to pay $300 million (at today’s worth) to the USA because of Liverpool's involvement.

27 years, 27 years in which the relatives of the dead at Hillsborough fought like hell for justice, set up campaign after campaign to ask for statements made by police to be released, asking for numerous officers who were there that day to be prosecuted for unlawful and negligent actions. One in particular, Chief Superintendent David Duckenfield, who was managing the police at the stadium, made the decision from the control box to open the outer gate in the stadium when was told there could be serious injury or death outside the ground. He then didn’t make the decision to get the tunnel to the already packed front two pens of the stadium closed. Had it been closed, things might have played out somewhat differently. When the crush became impossible to ignore, stadium officials confronted Duckenfield in the control box, and he lied saying fans stormed the outside gate, and that he froze. This effectively began the lie, because the football game that had been playing was being broadcast on national TV and the game commentator relayed this information on the broadcast saying fans stormed the gate, allowing the lie to fester in the public mind. To imagine the relatives of the dead victims having to put up with that information, that their dead son or daughter caused their own deaths. And it took a toll on these people, after years of fighting for proper justice, many of them died with the stress before they could ever see the day. Among them Anne Williams, who was mother to one lad who died there, and organised an especially strong movement to fight for justice. She died in 2013 after a battle with cancer, and never got to see the day the dead were recognised as unlawfully killed. That whole saga, coupled with the Conservatives treatment of Liverpool (something which has continued to this day, more recently former prime minister Boris Johnson mocked the families of the dead for “wallowing in victim status”), you will not find a city in the country with stronger local solidarity pride than Liverpool. Best city in the country bar none, with the best people. I love every visit. If I could move and live there I would.

Chief Superintendent David Duckenfield messed up bad, but here is a thing I COULD HAVE FORGIVEN HIM If he at the time would have said "i made a mistake" sure there would have been anger but every one i talked too would have forgave him because we are all human and make mistakes. BUT HE LIED 10 mins after he ORDERED the gates opened he told the head of the FA "Liverpool fans forced a gate" and that lie about drunken ticketless fans has stuck. when the jury of the NEW public inquiry was reading out their verdicts all was quiet untill Q.. was liverpool fans in any way responsible for the accident A ...NO the cheers and tears started. the judge had to pause the proceedings but still we wait for Justice OH todays date 27th July 2024 two weeks ago Sainsburys apologised for selling the S** in one of their stores

Yep, east midlands girl here. I saw Thatchers handling of the miners, my dear uncle on the picket line being verbally abused by her bully boys. I also know the hand she had in the cover up of Hilsborough. My family were at that match in the forest supporters area.

It shows how bad she was that despite being partially responsible for the genius creation of whipped ice-cream it couldn't make up for all her evil deeds while in office to the point that even her home town was ashamed of her, and that the whole country chose the wizard of Oz song, (ding-dong the witch is dead) to play as she was buried (not at her actual funeral but it was played in many a household) having to be banned from air on the BBC due to too many requests for it to be played. Very apt song in her case.

To give you some idea, only a year ago I was in a garage in Newcastle. As I was paying for petrol, the attendant said, "Theres a free copy of the Sun today", and handed it to me. I said, "Im from Liverpol mate" He went bright red and said,"Im so so sorry mate, take any fvcking paper you like"

Already at the very beginning you have 3 mistakes (1) Liverpool is not located on the coast of an ocean, but on a coast of a sea (the Irish Sea) (2) Liverpool is not a cultural Mecca, but a European Capital of Culture (3) Liverpool does not have just one football team, there are two teams: Liverpool F. C. and Everton F. C.

For a while, I worked in a prison in the south-west of England. For some weird, bureaucratic reason, our prison got loads of Scouse inmates sent to it - hundreds of miles from Liverpool, which must've been really hard for them and their families. Whatever, there was a joke circulating the place: Q. What do you call a Scouser in a suit? A. 'The Accused.'

To compare it’s not the same but a close comparison would be to how the US media sees the South/Southern culture…extremely warm and friendly, very loud and boisterous but ultimately portrayed as too over the top, violent and in general a menace to society.

I used to go clubbing there, Quadrant Park and Coconut Grove, both mad clubs. Re the homeless though, we have them, part of the reason why is our politicians are useless and their inaction at the border has placed a huge amount of stress on housing but as an aside most European nations have no conception of the US problem because our experience of such homelessness was the Luftwaffe bombing people out.

One thing: - when you said "Oh, they have a China town" that got me thinking: don't your cities have a Chinatown? From the South Pacific to Oz, to Italy & other continental countries most cities have a Chinese enclave. In the UK it's one of the most common take-aways. And in Oz we all grew up learning how to use chopsticks. It just sounded strange that anyone would remark upon ChinaTown in a big city - because there are Chinese expatriates all over the world.(Well hey, China has an enormous population so they hardly miss them!😁) I know hundreds of Chinese were taken over to help build the railways ...and then hundreds went to Oz & US when gold was discovered. I just always assumed they played as big a part in US culture as they do elsewhere. But now I come to think of it, I don't see people of Chinese descent in US politics, films, or even adverts? Puzzling.

Many of the Liverpool Chinese residents and their kids were in the 1958 film The Inn of the Sixth Happiness, a 20th Century Fox film based on the true story of Gladys Aylward, a tenacious British woman, who became a missionary in China during the Second Sino-Japanese War. It was filmed in part in Snowdonia and they were bused in. Gladys saved the lives of many children. The film stars Ingrid Bergman and Curt Jurgens

Liverpool is a very independent city, The Sun Newspaper is banned in Liverpool as you can not buy it at all and Liverpool has for far too long been punished by the Tories. Liverpool is awesome. Solidity with Liverpool. Liverpool is a Labour party stronghold like Leicester. London crushed Liverpool because it was becoming a threat to the UK's capitals power and influence for a time and it has reminded crushed.
