It sometimes depends on which part of the country you go to, which individual you speak to about the people of Liverpool and their passions, to which possible answer you receive. For some less-well informed people the thought of someone from the city protesting is perhaps a way of life, to others they would arguably feel a swell of pride in that one set of people in England fights against injustice with good humour, good voice but with the wonderful undercurrent of installed, controlled emotion and anger that wrongs made against one in the city affect everyone.
