But don't let facts get in the way of your half baked populist ideolgy old bean will you...

I bet if you walked down Wellgate you wouldn't see: the dead-eyed hoodies twitching on the street corner, the beggars skulking around the shops, the urine and puke-stained pavements and the vandalised phonebox, because you would be on your mobile phone googling www.commie bollo cks. com which would no doubt tell you Wellgate was a "vibrant, ethnically diverse, working class culture, and if there is a problem it's Thatcher's fault."
