I wonder how many people voted that lived in the shit bits. All the people living in the nice bits were at work too busy to vote.

Live in Middlesbrough myself and its far from a shithole.

Agree with Hull though

it's obviously not just about the crime rate, ugly buildings etc as cannock chase would not be on the list as it's a lovely place. it must include things like availability of ammenities and so on

They don't even know where they are. Hull isn't even in Humberside anymore. Humberside DOES NOT EXIST !! Hull is in Yorkshire.

Just the same as all of my mail states South Humberside, when that county has not existed for at least 10 years. It is now North east Lincolnshire..but every computer system has my town's postcodes as Sth Humbs.

Whilst I appreciate that Northeners dont get an education like us down south, can you not sense the sarcasm in the fact that Im stating a channel 4 show said it, so it must be true..
