"Liverpool, like ancient Athens, certainly has a rich spiritual and intellectual culture, and its inhabitants are known for their love of conversation and debate. But is Liverpool really a philosophical city?"

About Me

- It's difficult for me to pigeon-hole myself. Anyone involved in marketing or demographics would find that I've slipped through the net. I'm a maverick. I remain a philosophical marxist (note the adjective), although I'm the first to say that capitalism won that titanic war when the Berlin Wall came down. I have a very low threshold for bullshit, can be sarcastic & generally assume the worst in people (that way, anything else is a bonus).

I think if you read this blog and a few others it may be thought of as a Philisophitopical city. There are still thinkers about but unfortunatly we have been tied up in the miasma of stench that has been fed to the public for too long by the local press who made it easy for Warren War Zones and his Spiv-Dems to sell the public what they wanted unchecked. The thinkers who didnt do an Alexi Sayle and piss off have spent their time putting the Spiv-Dems fires out.
