BBC Documentary: The Year The Town Hall Shrank
There are hardly any excesses of the most crazed psychopath that cannot easily be duplicated by a normal kindly family man who just comes in to work every day and has a job to do.

Really good documentary, I moved up to Stoke a few years ago for University and ended up staying, and how hard this area has been hit is unbelievable, this really shows the reality for some northern towns as the cuts are forced on them.
“The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that the English language is as pure as a crib-house whore. It not only borrows words from other languages; it has on occasion chased other languages down dark alley-ways, clubbed them unconscious and rifled their pockets for new vocabulary. “
