PAGE HALL

[Dave Burgess]

Talkin to an owd mate o mine that lives in the Page Hall district of Sheffield, a place almost in the heartland of the old industrial steel making part of the city.
The gaff he lives in, an old terraced gaff that was his late parents so lived there all his life, but big problem is that over the last 40 years the Pakis and Arabs moved in, so whitey moved out, so he,s the only Sheffielder left in the street.
Over the last few years the council in their wisdom have also brought the Rumanians into the district, so friction between raghead and Gypsy has come to a head, so much so that most evenings they are battling in the street.
Sez he laffs his bollox off when he hears the ragheads shouting, "F.ck off back to where you came from, ya dirty f.ckers, this is our country!"
Anyway he,s had enuff and is definitely gonna move and leave the c.nts too it. Sez he,s gonna find a gaff in a place where there are no ragheads or Gypsies.
"And where the f.ckin ell are ya gunna find anyweer like that in this country?"
He replied, "I,ve f.ckin thought about Bath!

From "End of an Empire" by Don the Mod


The six stages in the Life cycle of Empires

The Age of Pioneers (outburst)
The Age of Conquests
The Age of Commerce
The Age of Affluence
The Age of Intellect
The Age of Decadence. ("bread and circuses")

(e) Decadence is marked by:

Defensiveness "undisciplined over extended military"
Pessimism "a massive disparity between rich and poor"
Materialism "conspicuous display of wealth"
Frivolity "an obsession with sex"
An influx of foreigners
The Welfare State "a desire to live off a bloated state"
A weakening of religion.
