Living abroad but travelling back a lot to see my mum and dad, I'm always struck how great people are in Liverpool; really genuine, no side, helpful and ready with a good quip. The way people go out of their way to help my mum and dad in the supermarket, how the neighbours always take an interest in them, take the bins out etc is just fucking lovely.
Yes, there are scrotes and bad people about, always have been always will be but they're such a minority.
The real problem is that now some of the scrotes are too willing to take it to the max from the outset. There's no argy bargy just someone pulling a knife or a gun with the intention to kill in the first minute. They all seem to think they're in an episode from some gang thriller on Netflix. Add in the absurd cuts to the police and it all starts to get messy.
