Off Topic Hull: City of Culture

[steverico]

Some fancy words there big man.

I’m thinking of borrowing my mate Bob’s burger van and getting my fat arse down there.

I’d coin it in.

Cultured as frig.

Recently statement from the council

Hull's history, and therefore culture, was mostly destroyed in WW2 by the Luftwaffe and finished off by successive Labour Councils in the last seven decades

This is a desperate attempt to make Hull seem relevant and interesting, and it wouldn't surprise me if there was a sly backhander to the criminal-cum-****-artist in question from a certain somebody

The second paragraph sounds like a load of bollocks to me mate.

Places all over Europe were obliterated compared to Hull and rebuilt by the 1960s and their culture was unaffected.

Was the funding for such renewal exact in all places?

They would have needed a lot more funding than Hull did.

And Hamburg, Cologne, Bremen, Munich, various French places which had far more bombs dropped onnthem and sustained more casualties during the D-day landings, and Warsaw, Leningrad/-St Petersburg, Stalingrad/Volgograd, Rotterdam, Vienna...
Hiroshima and Nagasaki looking alright as well.

Given time they will learn to cope with the fact they aren't in the UK.

Again.

Makes you wonder why their governments were better at providing that money than ours.

 

[Barchullona]

Again.

And still true.

Just a note, the likes of Warsaw, Lenigrad/St Petersburg, Stalingrad/Volgograd, regeneration would have been at the behest of the Stalin/Molotov regime as the Russians refused Marshall Aid believing it to be detrimental to their own domination of Europe efforts (sorry about the politics delete if deemed unsuitable).

 

[originalminority]

Some cities like Dresden & Warsaw were rebuilt to their original plans, others got new Stalinist Architecture. Brutal.
