Let's face it, Liverpool no longer has any industry, so students, tourism and regeneration should all be embraced. Strangely though I see lots of resentment for students and people who are 'not from around here'.

Plenty of times I see people on here complaining because Manchester get this that and the other, but if you want to keep Liverpool 'for locals only' it's just not going to happen.
We can still have industry Snap.
There's a growing realisation in Europe that giving up on manufacture so easily her was a panic and short-sighted response. Sheffield in common with many other places in Europe are stating to claw back some of their traditional industries by developing ultra hi-tech ways of making them cheaper to produce that our competitors.
My worry is that when the industry wheel turns back in our favour again, places like Liverpool will have surrendered all it's industrial spaces to half empty holiday apartments.
