A thank you to Brexiteers.

You could always try staying just outside Naples like one rubbish travel agent did, tbf there was a nice hotel in Castel Volturno, but the town itself left a little to be desired, unless you wanted to pick up a working girl on the slip road or enjoyed the bristle of violence, then this happened…. Castel Volturno massacre - Wikipedia to no one’s massive surprise…

It's a great city, naples, i love it there. The toxic waste issue is the only real problem with my brilliant plan.

What do you like about it? Have you been elsewhere in Italy?

Its got the beauty and ancientness of the other famous cities but its all crumbling and falling to bits and covered in graffiti and i like that. Also, its by the sea and has a massive open air book market and the world's best pizzas for aproximately four euros. But, this is the arguing about brexit thread.

Whatever floats your boat, I guess. Just seems like someone coming to the UK and insisting that they want to live in Bracknell.

Striking and pay rises isn’t the sort of stuff you approve of clearly….

Must admit I never knew Bracknell was the Naples of Britain. Although to be fair some people in Birmingham claim our city resembles Venice due to the canals..

I have long envied the French approach to labor relations. And monarchies.

Not a Girly Swot, but I like them....
One of the jarring aspects of my life is that despite humanities utter brilliance - cooked food, space travel, medicine - so many people's homes are shitholes....
(I see what your saying, and despite being a serial offender I agree with you - but Naples is, particularly when contrasted with what it could/should be, a shithole)

Except when somebody came up with a best selling book called crap towns they had to do a sequel due to the number of complaints that their town had been omitted

Found myself driving though Staines not long ago, i'd previously thought that people were probably just going on about it because of its unfortunate name but no, that does seem genuinely to be an shithole.

Really?
I'm sure there are all varieties of opinion from residents in all settlements, but (i dunno, maybe this is just me?) but it jars when folk that are otherwise sound in their politics decide that it's OK to cast other people's home towns as shitholes. If the residents themselves think that based on their lived experience, then fine...but to pronounce on less favoured areas from your perfect village looks a bit shit from where I'm standing; (Croydon).

Yeah, i do get that brogdale. At the same time though i think it should be ok to talk about how come some places are crap, because the crapnesses, the problems, of Naples or Staines or Malawi or the UK say, its not the same as saying 'i look down upon your choice of trousers and laugh' its structural crapness & created by historical stuff and the decisions of powerful people, so its not like its the fault of people who live there.
