Why do people hate Scousers?

Serious not over yet

So has Bristol, but you don't here them whining on about how everyone's got it in for them.

What do you call people from Brisotol? Brissas? Bristolians?

See Bristol doesn't have a such a strong sense of identity. No strong accent or stereotype. They are less identified as working class. Was Bristol affected by Thatcher's policies to the same extent as Northern cities and towns. When the main source of income (Mining and dock working, car manufactering) of its populace was taken away during the 80s?

My Dad worked as a pharmacist in Speke near the car factory serving the families of the factory workers and witnessed the decline through the 80s and the change in peoples health as more and more became unemployed. And as ever with no hope families with generations of unemployment people do turn to crime and kids become feral.

I agree with Skully. An while Scousers could have turned bitter for many reasons over the years (See above and Hillsborough etc), winning the European City of Culture status in 2008 lead to serious investment that help the city turn itself around (Even though I don't like the new centre which is one huge shopping Mall and Beatles tourist centre) and Sousers throughout have been resilient and kept up their spirit of generosity.
