shocking to read, you know its happening near you but tend to close a blind eye to it,

snippet from that piece
'The Thatcher government took our working-class life away from us but they didn't replace it with anything,' said Wilson. 'The reason our children have fewer life opportunities isn't because they can't go to university, it's because they can't go to work.'

this typifies about today's society a case look after ones self and don't give a jack about your neighbour or friends,

I wonder how much of this could be related to attendances of our game, a once thriving sport is now struggling to get anywhere as good as there did years ago, welfare's and working mens clubs don't have the same atmosphere as they did years ago, I expect due to large industries being closed and friends and work colleagues moving on to pastures new, and its the where it originated from the working class

while Leeds are border line to the development I can't see how they can have any sway on this as its separated by the motorway so traffic shouldn't be a problem, as for the distribution units its in a prime situation and will serve both Wakefield and Leeds with jobs which are needed greatly

Which is more the point.







Leeds City Council really ought to focus on sorting out its really rough areas and make that their priority instead of taking cheap pot shots at other councils and their plans.
