Scouse NOT English: Why is Liverpool Different from the rest of England?
Scouse not English: Why is Liverpool different from the rest of England?
Why do Liverpool fans boo the national anthem? Where does the Scouse accent come from? Why are people from Liverpool called "Scousers"? And why do some people from Liverpool say they are Scouse, not English?
Liverpool has a distinct identity, and many Scousers who live there identify more with the city than the rest of the country. Liverpool football fans have even been known to boo the British national anthem at football games. We travelled to Liverpool to find out where the tension between Liverpool and the rest of England comes from.
Frank Carlyle, a historian and lecturer from Liverpool, explained his take on the phrase "Scouse not English", walking us through the Liverpool general transport strike of 1911, to the Thatcher years, to the Hillsborough disaster. He also reveals where the Scouse accent came from, and why people from Liverpool are called "Scouse".
In the 1900s, the Liverpool general transport strike saw tension between Liverpool and the rest of England reach a boiling point. In the 1980s, Margaret Thatcher's conservative government wanted to pursue a strategy of managed decline in Liverpool, AKA strategic abandonment. In 1989, in the aftermath of the Hillsborough disaster, much of the English press and the emergency services deflected the blame for the disaster onto Liverpool fans themselves. As a result, the Sun newspaper is banned in Liverpool. Did these key events push Liverpool away from the rest of England?
As a bustling port city, Liverpool was once considered "the second city of the empire". As the British Empire declined, so did Liverpool's importance as a port. Nowadays, Liverpool is often unfairly looked down upon by other parts of England. So how did Liverpool go from being the second city of the Empire, to one that is so often looked down upon today, where some of its residence prefer to identify as Scouse, not English?

I was born in Liverpool, worked in SE Asia for 30 yrs it always fills me with pride when people from Japan, China, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia tell me how much they love my city, one of my favourite nights was in Singapore when I was invited to the Singapore LFC fan club, when the members heard I was a real Scouser they wouldn’t let me pay for a drink, they even asked me to bless their flag YNWA.

Right, they love somewhere they have probably never ever been and project their fantasy, like many people in Asia believe Harry Potter is real.
I'm a liverpool fan and English. A d proud..what about the English fans that contributed to the Hillsborough fund ..blane the torts. Fair enough...but it's not englands fault and liverpool is in England .not Ireland or Wales.....dont forget ya roots

@James Bong this pathetic attitude of yours Jim is another reason why the people of Liverpool feel the way they do. As a young man I loved my cars. My first was a Triumph Spitfire. After that I had a Xr3i, then a Xr2i then a Escort turbo. Non of these cars (my pride and joy) were ever scratched or broken into in Liverpool. I had a girlfriend in Blackburn where my Xr3i was broken into the stereo was stolen and the car vandalised.My turbo was stolen while visiting family in Bracknell and a car years later again broken into this time in Birmingham when attending finals day at Edgbaston. This isn't exactly a scientific poll but does show at the very least Liverpool is as safe and its people certainly no more likely to commit burglary as anywhere else in the UK. Its time this pathetic stereo typing was put to bed.

@@StarwarsfanArmy Stupid? Did you actually watch the video?
As a Norwegian, hearing that "scouse" comes from lapskaus (lobscouse) was quite a revelation! I'd say lapskaus is no culinary delight, but at least it's nourishing 😄
I'm danish. We call it skipper lapskovs. Absolute worst meal my mom would cook. I havn't had it since i moved out from the house 😅
In Manchester we call it lobby or lobbies not sure on the spelling though
Labskaus originates from Bremen in Germany
...and from Hamburg
All these people hating on lapskaus have never had it on a true cold winters day. It’s the best comfort food! Add some cranberry jam and it’s ❤
Being a non native, english speaking person but having lived in multiple english speaking countries, I once found myself overhearing these two guys talking on a plane, for about the first 5 mins of their chat I thought it was german, then dutch, then danish, then swedish, then frisian, until I realised they were actually speaking english, well, nearly english, they were speaking scouse.
You mean dolphin

I am from Canada with Jordanian roots big fan of LFC and visited the city few times. People warned me about Liverpool city and the crime rate, but the few days I spent there I saw nothing but friendly people awesome city rich culture and phenomenal Anfield atmosphere, I wish I could say I am a Scouse but I can say I love Liverpool and will visit it again some day YNWA!
Well said mate and what you said about our city is pretty much what 99% who go there say they love it. Liverpool is 5th on the most dangerous cities for crime but the large majority and the nature of the crimes are mainly drug related as it plays a big part in European drug trafficking. Most crimes are assault or murder mainly related to drugs. London and Leeds as well as Cleveland and Hartlepool have a higher crime rate than Liverpool but this part is left out when Liverpool is said to be crime capital of England simply not true.
@@mrjasondylanwhen I was in London for an official training in 2019, I and my colleagues couldn't even go to Hyde park as we were stalked by a Turkish goon speaking Queen's English asking for our passports etc but we were able to fend him off. And mind you this was close to the Holiday Inn where we stayed close to the market near Gloucester Road underground station. Several areas in London are no go zones n on that very trip I also went to Anfield as LFC that year had won the 2018-19 Champions League n I found it to be one of the warmest cities in the world, not just UK. In fact from my near horrendous experience it is London that I'd call the crime capital of England/Britain.
@@narasimhansrinivasan1051 London is a complete and utter crime ridden shit-hole.
I confess I’m from the east of England I had this view of Liverpool. However I’m a Beatles fan my wife arranged a surprise trip to Liverpool to do all the Beatles stuff. This place is amazing I’ve missed out on not going before people are friendly, places to eat, drink lots of tourist stuff and 2 great football clubs. I apologise for my misplaced prejudice to all the people of Liverpool. I’m envious of what your city has.

I just came back from a one month trip in the UK. My favorite city by far was Liverpool (London being the one that I liked the least). Liverpool has a great reputation outside England specially for being The Beatles hometown. But once I went there, I understood why it is so special. The whole atmosphere of the city, it was friendly, opening, warm and not pretentious whatsoever, albeit they have A LOT to be proud of. I absolutely loved it, and would choose it as a place to live, no doubt.
Exactly ... outside England. Most of the derision from the rest of England is just the green monster rearing it's ugly head bc they know and feel that LIV has something real, different, and enticing about it's culture that they wish they had.
I’ve lived in both Liverpool and london. One of the biggest mistakes I made moving from Liverpool to London. People in Liverpool are much more friendly. Never felt comfortable or at home in London. People down there can be rude, standoffish and impatient.

Long story short, I am in LOVE with LIVERPOOL City , LFC and IRELAND. As the old man in the video said its not about the city, its about the people of city. *African doctor who worked over Ireland and England. Justice for 97
I'm from Liverpool and couldn't care either way about royalty but I think it's important to note that the booing of the national anthem is booing at the establishment and not a personal slant at the queen ( who reigned at the time).
Booing at the national anthem is akin to booing the rest of the nation, and all the people therein. The rest of the nation kept the economy of Liverpool afloat while it was a basket case in the 1980s. I think that these people, aka the English, deserve some respect at the very least. It was already suffering before Thatcher was PM, and it certainly wasn't helped by Derek Hatton and his far-left socialist local government.
@@28pbtkh23 Like I said the booing is aimed at the establishment and AT no one else. The rest of country kept liverpools economy going, we didn't have a economy thatcher put liverpool in management decline, Thatcher who is part of the establishment, the same thatcher who lied about Hillsborough because she had some sort of misplaced loyalty to the police of Yorkshire for there heavy-handed way of dealing with coal strikes. Our economy was bad and that was due to thatcher and yes your right the militants at the time done us no favours but im not going to lay all the blame at there feet.
@@stedevo3812 - you are repeating old myths which have gained acceptance amongst many people in Britain, especially in areas that suffered from economic decline during the 1960s - 1980s. No - Thatcher did not put anywhere into managed decline in the 1980s. In fact she hated the very idea of Britain managed decline, which was an idea that was widespread in the civil service at the time. It was also popular amongst economists. She spoke against this idea in her many speeches. She did not lie about Hillsborough. She was LIED TO about H. in a report given to her by the police. Due to her upbringing, it was inconceivable to her that public servants, particularly the police, would lie to a prime minister or the government of the day. Today, we all know that civil servants and politicians lie all the time. But Thatcher thought that honesty was still the norm in the public sector.
@@28pbtkh23 Old Reports from the time that are now available to the public reveals a letter saying she wanted to manage decline the city look it up. In fact she sent Michael Heseltine up here to over look it and report back. He seen the potential in the city and went against her wishes. It was down to him laying the foundation that helped build the city back up. I called it at the time, there would never be a enquiry were the truth came out until she died. Within 12 months of her death the wheels of justice finally started moving.
@@28pbtkh23you might be correct but Thatcher was complicit in targeting football supporters as hooligans. Hillsborough was a catastrophic disaster that happened due to police mismanagement. Thatcher may gullibly took what SYP said as fact but it stemmed from her own views on football supporters being hooligans. You can spin it to be that that was the times then but Thatcher had the power to set about change in football. She didn’t do nothing until a disaster happened.
All love to the scousers and thier beautiful city, from Glasgow, Scotland 🏴❤️
Spent a few years working in a call centre in Liverpool and it's true, they are the nicest, most generous people I've ever worked with. On nights out in the city centre, they'd often club together to pay for me to get a taxi home so I could stay out later instead of leaving earlier to get the last train home. Never met anyone as generous and I've worked all over the north west.
I have lived in Saudi for three years , I could not wait to get back .Home is where the heart is ,I wont be going anywhere else . God bless my city YOU WONT WALK ALONE IN LIVERPOOL ❤
I've been here as an internatinal student only for a year and a half I already feel it like my second home. I just love it here, the people and the atmosphere is just amazing.
Thank you for such a wonderful piece! I'm from Liverpool, moved back seven years ago from 15 years in London. It always puzzled me why people were so snobby about Liverpool. That said, wherever I worked, they were snobby about anywhere up north. Working in the investment banks, one guy told me 'you'll get burgled if you move back'. I did a quick search online, and where I was moving to in Liverpool had a far less crime rate than where he lived in London!! Really made me laugh. The class system in the UK is still strong. But the best defence for anywhere is for people to visit and see for themselves. Everyone loves it who I've had visit. Thanks again for such a wonderful piece. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Consider yourselves honorary scousers now. x
Good to see you are happy in Liverpool but when I lived in different parts of London in the 1990s and early 2000s I did not encounter snobbery towards the north west or elsewhere in the country. It is a myth peddled and believed by many that the north west and elsewhere is friendly. One of the friendliest places I lived in is Wimbledon Park, which had its own community association and a really positive vibe in the area generally.
When I lived in England for fourteen years, I noted that the open snobbery and contempt for "The North" came from the Home Counties, especially Surrey, as opposed to Londoners. When I lived near to Godalming, between Guilford and Haslemere, more than one local talked about the country going to the dogs once "north of the Watford Gap."
@@anthonyburn1010 Though Lindon born, (Chiswick) I've lived most of my life in Kent and now Surrey and the only person who I can ever remember saying anything derogatory about the North came from Northern Ireland. Most people actually talk with affection about Scotland, Yorkshire, the Peak district, the Lake district etc.
@John Brereton - all I can say is lucky you. I was born and raised in New Zealand, so had no dog in the fight. I am not dreaming what I heard though, living in that neck of the woods.
@@anthonyburn1010 its true but also goes both ways, Northerners think Southerners are snobbish, there are many working class towns and cities in Southern England and we don't all talk with the plummy BBC accent. As for the British class system it really holds the country back.
To any Scousers watching, absolute nothing but love brothers and sisters from myself in Manchester; I’ve been to Liverpool countless times and I’ve got to say you are some of the warmest and friendliest people I’ve met and in such a beautiful city to top it all off! Will be back many times to come! 🐝❤🐦
We were totally taken aback by how friendly everyone in Liverpool was. Multiple times a day someone would stop us on our bikes asking if we needed anything like help with directions. I agree with your comment wholeheartedly!
@@TieranFreedman I'm a Welshman who supports the Reds and I've been there before... One of the only times I heard fluent Welsh being spoken was in the queue for breakfast in our hotel and it was one of the most refreshing conversations I'd had. A couple were there from Llangrannog to meet the husband's brother who lived there in Liverpool. When they learnt that I was there from Casnewydd (Newport) in South Wales, and that I intend to speak fluent Welsh someday, we had an extensive conversation within that queue that day. Then we all went to Anfield, and that, is a story in of itself, for another day!
I absolutely agree with Andrew. I lived with locals in Liverpool for 6 months and visited lots of places in the UK in that time but back in Liverpool was always the best. It's not just a city, it's a feeling and I miss that so much since being back in Germany.
As merseysider thanks for your comment you come from a great friendy city
Full of plastic paddys
The population of Liverpool is overwhelmingly of Irish-Catholic origin, long before the Hillsborough disaster its citizens felt alienated from the rest of England. For the record the second city of the British Empire was Dublin, which even today is one quarter protestant, a far higher figure than in Liverpool.
As a Nigerian living in England I identify as a scouser! They are so so reminiscent of home - super friendly, happy to help, warm and very very inclusive/welcoming. It doesn't even feel like you're a foreigner. Not the BS I experienced in south west England! Love living in Liverpool. Can't speak highly enough of it ❤
Liverpools whole history is built on immigration. Why do you think scousers are so welcoming and friendly? It’s because, it’s been imbedded into the city’s culture for centuries. To be respectful and helpful to travellers, who come by or stay. As, many scousers were shipmen or tradesmen themselves. Also, because scousers are just unique 😉 Anyways, much love from scouser.
Bloody hypocrite.... Why can't you just make your positive opinion and move on. Must you try to paint others negative just because you spent time in Liverpool? Try to be rational when you speak because you coming across as ignorant

I am a Scouser born and bred with Irish ancestory. Yes we have always said here that we are a mini Ireland, it gets called mini Dublin too. Near everyone of my mates has Irish ancestory and there's a lot of us. The English didn't like the fact that people with blood from another country where trying to stand up to the English government.

I spent time in Liverpool in the mid to late 70s. At that time the city had the uncanny combination of being very poor, very criminal, and very friendly all at once. I have to say I found Liverpool most fascinating regardless. Finally Liverpool is predominantly world famous for its music history, its football, and Shotokan Karate.

Yes Pablo
Im a Geordie from Tyneside. Over the years iv met many Scousers, whether thru work, or on family holidays over the years. I dont want sound patronising, but Scousers are freindly, Witty and mostly salt of the Earth types. They are very similar to we Geordies. Probably because we Geordies are half Irish-English too. Went to Liverpool for the first time with mates for a drink in 2018. Great time, and the Scousers were welcoming. God bless Liverpool and the Scousers.
We are in Liverpool (Sousers) our Grandad came from the North East his/our sir name is Cummings, its well known in the North East. So we LOVE Mackems and Geordies as we came from there ... and your Right we have similar outlooks!.
Back in my early days before moving to America with my job, I drank at a few pubs in Liverpool with a bunch of Geordies and what an awesome bunch of lads. The only thing I didn’t like is the girls were loving their accent and totally ignored the local lads 😳😳
What a load of tosh. Geordies ain’t f#cking half Irish/ English. My missus and son are geordies and I’m a Mag. Don’t know many of what you’re describing so stop kissing scouse arse
Occident, funny but I have seen you on other channels giving it full on pro Irish, anti British rhetoric. Make up your mind
I can't go to the UK without spending at least a couple of days in Liverpool. It's a beautiful city and Liverpudlians are the friendliest people in the world. The accent is distinctive and music to my ears.
I watched a video about Liverpool recently, it started with a young man ( not from Liverpool) cycling through the city, and the first words from his mouth were "I can't believe how friendly the people of Liverpool are" This statement so much to me and showed our resilience.
That was this video mate, haha
Apart from when you get chased and beat up for no reason???
They hadn't nicked his wheels yet
Love this video, sums up the place perfectly. I was born in Liverpool, dads a scouser, mam is from Dublin, Ireland. I moved to Dublin when I was very little when mam and dad split up and ive lived in Ireland ever since. but still have massive love for Liverpool and Liverpudlians. As pointed out in the video, a lot of Irish settled there and Irish people "Love a bit of Devilment" as we say and are very rebellious in nature, we dont like to be told what to do. Long live Liverpool!
Clive Lomax I do hope a majority of Scousers rebelled against the convid wicked rules and lock downs ,as they don't like being dictated to.

As a scouser, this was a well put together video
Great city, great people, great football clubs.. whether you are red or blue, people are always friendly. 🇮🇪
As a Londoner now living in Melbourne, I spent many weekends in Liverpool during the 80’s and into the 90’s. I always felt akin to scousers as working class people. It’s the English establishment most people don’t like not other English people
Funny how your class solidarity and dislike of the English establishment didn't stop you from squatting on oppressed Aboriginal soil that was stolen. You don't like the English establishment, but you don't mind enjoying the fruits of their Empire. Somewhat hypocritical, no?
You are correct about people hating the British establishment rather than the individual British person. As an Irishman we refer to the British as “the old enemy” and the Union Jack as “the butchers apron” with very good reason. I know the ordinary British citizens don’t make government policies regarding my country but their ignorance of ordinary citizens about the atrocities carried out here in Ireland is definitely offensive. The British government butchered their own Liverpudlians like they did the Irish. But that’s down to the low calibre of British politicians. I would like to think that the friendly character of Liverpool is due to the large population of Irish descent and that a lot of the dissidents are of Irish descent too. There is no honour in the British government.
@briankelleher2156 Yes, mate. What have the Romans ever done for us? 😂 We are not ignorant. We just don't keep crying over spilt milk from yesteryear. The fact that you label an entire persons ignorant is pure irony.
@@terranaxiomuk Why are you talking about the romans, ireland became independent just over a hundred years ago, that is not even remotely comparable to roman britain at all. The troubles are still very much felt in the current cultural and political climate of ireland. What a stupid comment
@@terranaxiomuk dunno what the romans did for you. We didn’t send them over to you. Who we did send, when Britain was a country of tribal savages, was Columbanus, he brought Christianity and education to Britain through a series of monasteries the first of which was in Iona. The Irish educated the English and shit was our thanks. The spilt milk we are crying over continues to this day and will continue as long as you occupy Northern Ireland. If the Germans still occupied any part of Britain you would resort to anything to get them out. Why should the Irish be any different? And before you tell me Britain defeated the Germans you didn’t. They kicked your ass at Dunkirk. Hitler had so little regard for you that he decided to invade Russia before winter and mop you up on the way back. It was the resistance of the Russians and the Americans joining the war that saved Britain.

I didn't feel like I had to worry about my appearance as much and I could just dress the way I dress at home in America. Liverpool also reminds me of the city I was born and where the majority of my family were born and raised (Berkeley, CA USA) except it's a LOT cleaner and people are a LOT friendlier. I wish I had more time in Liverpool but I am so excited to go back!
I love Liverpool from Coventry and Leicester 🇬🇧🏴🏴🇮🇪
Visited Liverpool 10 years ago to make a Beatles "pilgrimage" - really liked the city.
Wow, sounds awesome! It really is a fantastic city, and has such a unique feel to it.
Liverpool is a great city. And scousers are very friendly people but what makes scousers great is while the rest of the english are half asleep and like sheep.scouser are wide awake and socialy aware and morraly righteousness.livepool should be an independent city state. Love to Liverpool ❤️
Very enlightening, very informative video. Thank you for sharing this wonderful experience with us.
As an lrish man i find people of Liverpool the most Friendly people of England,
That's because you didn't blow up any shopping centres in Liverpool with your IRA bombs.
Born and bred here. But I think the friendliest people are generally from the North East of England.
@@offgridtbone2162 currently living in Newcastle and I think it's a tie. Both are incredible cities/regions which are unfairly neglected by the rest of the UK
To be honest in my own lifetime's experience it's not just Liverpool. I think it's something to do with towns and cities that have had a port and the broader outlook of the world it brings from immigration, emigration and trade. My own family are from Cork originally but came through Liverpool/Birkenhead and then spread out the NW of England to Preston (another very friendly welcoming port town). I have friends from Glasgow, Newcastle, Cardiff and some from the old east end docks part of London and all are as friendly to visitors and optimistic in their outlook. Of course everywhere also has their idiots too but few and far between.
😂
I live just over the border in Wales and often in Liverpool my favourite city in the country… Liverpudlians are unique beautiful warm hearted great fun folk…
Sorry but to say that they are unique is to say that the rest of the regions in this country are not. This is what causes divisions. There is good and bad where ever you look. I am from Birkenhead..There is a snobbery that they do not wish to be associated with Liverpool. Well as a Birconian we are the same with just a hop skip and a jump accross the water.
@@derryshore5586 Every city and town contains lovely people, even people in Shrewsbury.
@@derryshore5586 Were you included in the anti-Liverpool stance of the government in the 80es? If not, they really are unique. No other city was treated like that.
@@LoveToHearUSing I know Liverpool. I come from just across the Mersey...There is pride in many a place in the UK...There are nice people and nasty people,even in Liverpool. My friend is Scotish and got told to go back home,he did not feel welcome at all. My brother in law who is from the South and did not feel welcome. They are no more special than anybody else. I now live in East Riding Yorkshire..They are lovely people,friendly and will help you if they can. No place is more superior than anywhere else. Birkconians are pretty much the same people now.
I'm from Liverpool, I'm Black, and I have a Phd. My daughter lives in Plymouth. Her friends were amazed that I have a Phd, not because I'm Black, but because I have a strong Scouse accent. Being an academic and being from Liverpool just do not equate in most people's minds, so I can relate totally the whole outside snobbery people hold against Scousers. :-)

Cracking video, thoroughly enjoyed it. My late Father was from Liverpool, (Walton area), his parents too. Sadly only ever met my Grandma a few times. You see my Dad was adopted in late 1945, (think he was a celebration at the end of WW2). I see myself as half scouse but fully Lancastrian as Liverpool was part of Lancashire. Best sense of humour in the UK. A proud city & very proud that my Dad came from there. My Mum is from the Wigan area.
Whereabouts in Walton did your dad live? I mostly grew up there.
Finally somebody has mentioned the sense of Humour akin to the city. Not mentioned in the Video but defines the city as much as anything. You really notice a definite lack of any sense of humour when you leave the city, especially as you travel South.
I've Been to Liverpool A few times and it like I am kinda of back in Ireland such A beautiful city with wonderful people always a grand day out.
Born in Liverpool...parents migrated to Australia in 1964....but I still feel like a Liverpudlian. My heart is still there ..YNWA
I am new to Liverpool..arrived here just 6 months ago. Its different from what I heard about this City. It's my home ...❤❤❤ I can proudly say I ❤ LIVERPOOL. I will never walk alone...
As someone who grew up in Liverpool and now lives abroad I can honestly say the thing I miss about there the most is the people and their friendly nature. They are very protective of their own but also very welcoming too. Great video and you know have a new subscriber.
Exactly! That's why there is no crime in Liverpool
@@vickykimber7874 They just share each others alloys, that's all!! 😂🤣😂
There is crime in all areas? Stay positive
@@edglue6138 But it's worse in Liverpool. Much worse.
Had many a good night in Liverpool anytime I travelled down from Glasgow
Being from Liverpool, this video made me very proud of my heritage, thank you so much for taking the time to create this. You really understand us and I hope this video helps others to see passes the stereotypes!
Im a scouser and have lived in Canada for 20 years now. I went home for the first time in 8 years last October. Took my boys to get their hair cut at Tony Slavins on Penny Lane so they could experience something from the Beatles. We sat waiting for our turn and there was a family next to us and they were so lovely and by the time it was our turn we knew everything about them! My kids have never experienced such friendly openness like it before! I also have to say that I am also English and proud to be so. The booing of the anthem is a dig at the establishment not other English people.
Nicely done! Really enjoyed that.
must say that as a scouser am pleasantly surprised by this video. didn't expect a fair/accurate representation of the city tbh but you've captured the spirit of liverpool perfectly, nice one!!
Thanks so much, glad you thought so! It was one of our favourite stops on the trip, so I'm happy to hear you felt I did it justice 😊
My exact thought. Very balanced and true account
Agree, covered a lot there.
completely missed out the Liverpool City Council (Derek Hatton etc) dispute, part of the managed decline which i never knew had "official" status, so let me try.... Liverpool was seperated from the rest of the country, and in the mid 1980s the City Council said that the city had had 30MIL pounds "stolen by Thatcher" but all the other councils that also had stood up to rate-capping etc backed out and left Liverpool CC isolated...... but the year the dispute kicked off was 1984 and about the time the coal miners came out on strike, against Thatcher and her de-industrialisation policies and so Liverpool City Council, Derek Hatton & Tony Mulhearn etc LEFT THE MINERS IN THE LURCH so the miners were defeated because of the total lack of solidarity apart from a few train drivers in Scotland and it's a reason there is basically NO Militant in Liverpool (Socialist Party they are called nowadays) which at least is something good!
It's American brain washing fake news.
From Marseille in France, we salute the great city of Liverpool and all its inhabitants !
This is excellent work. Glad to have found your channel.
If more of the UK had the spirit of Liverpool, it would be a better a much better place
Beautifully done this . As a scouser aside from you not really talking about the fact we have two football teams , not just Liverpool . Think this is really well done. Thank you

I really enjoyed this perspective on a city I visited in 1964 a a baby. Born in Rugby, I’ve lived in Canada most of my life, so I’ve almost forgotten how class plays an enduring role in England. So many historical events and attitudes make sense now. Wishing us all a better future based on love and fraternity than our social standing.
Even the Canadian native ,who's land you live on
@@Stephen-lx9nm Good day Stephen, my ancestors were mere chattel slaves brought to the Americas and the West Indies due to a slave economy based in Liverpool and Bristol. Hitler decimated much of the workforce of Europe necessitating movement from the colonies to England. Some of those same economic forces caused my family to end up on Native Canadian land. My awareness is helping Canada to address the injustices of the past. What have you done?
Class divisions are overblown. Mancunians, Geordies, and other working-class regions all hate Scoucers. They're a sniviling bunch of overly-mawkish, self-righteous, self-pitying bores with a persecution complex.Their slogan of 'Scouce not English' is at least something we English can agree on.
@@Videx19 In Europe people were divided and discriminated against based on class and nationality. In North America it's based on race and ethnicity. Sorry but I'm not seeing this utopia you speak of over there.
@@stiofain88 Then I'm afraid you'll have to look harder.
This video encapsulates the city so well, thank you for taking such care
The one thing I always say about us Scousers is that, for better or for worse, we wear our hearts on our sleeves. Scousers are almost always 100 percent genuine in any facet of our lives. There's very little bullshit or half-measurea with us. What you see, more often than not, is what you get.
I think that's one of the reasons why Klopp loves your city so much.
@@LoveToHearUSing and why we love him. I'm not big on footie, but by all accounts, he seems like a good man.
A very well presented subject. Curious though that you chose to airbrush out Everton Football Club and it's part in the city. The fierce rivalry between the two clubs of the city is legendry, as is the fierce loyalty fans feel to each other in times of crisis. Both teams have a rich and colourful heritage, what a shame to concentrate on one. I'd always heard of Liverpool as jokingly being referred to as the capital of Ireland not Wales. I don't live in Liverpool anymore, but it's the place I grew up and it's always close to my heart. May the people of the city prosper and nurture this feeling of unique cultural identity from the rest of the country.
They didn't mention tranmere aswell but wait till the last game and see what league you end up in 😂 😂😂 only messing I do hope you stay up with us and as soon as you get the new dock your definitely going to get more publicity honest!
@@mickyredeyes6220 Tranmere is in Birkenhead. They hate being referred to as Liverpool.
8/10 research wise except when it came to research about football, the lack of Everton content was poor to say the least
capital of NORTH wales-not everything is about ireland
I just posted same thing. Nothing on us.
The unity of the city is best described by the rivalry which ironically binds the city together. The TWO football clubs, Everton, mentioned only once, must be included. As there are many mixed marriages in the city, Everton suffered just as much as Liverpool. The support from Everton FC and its supporters after Hillsborough proving the point despite the events of Heysel Stadium 1985 . Standing alone and fighting authority is unfortunately a trite forced upon those who inhabit the city. This is where the renowned sense o humor arises. A City with such a rich history in the Arts which is rarely mentioned. Note the surprise of students from other areas of the country on discovering how the city works and even survived.
The people have back bone, like no other part of the country. Poll Tax was torn apart and thrown down by the Liverpuddlians, and other areas followed.
Yes I’m fae Glasgow but have lots of Scouse family members n I see an affinity with both city’s the people are friendly in both places but don’t fuck with them either.
@@bazglsgw1208 The Scots were the biggest community here before the Irish famine. I have Irish, Welsh, and Scottish in my bloodline. But my surname is Scandinavian.

thank you for making this Tieran. it means a lot to me, and i know it'll mean a lot to every single person who is in Liverpool, was born here, or who has any association with this amazing city. you'd did us all proud my friend. thank you from the bottom of our collective hearts x
Brilliant video mate, I'm a scouser, currently living outside the city and have done for several years now. The amount of garbage I hear about the city and scousers in general is absolutely appalling. People really do need educating, but the media in the UK (both print and tv) have an awful lot to answer for in terms of perpetuating a stereotype.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! Yeah I've been really surprised by the scale of that, and the number of negative comments during and after creating this video. I feel like a lot of the more extreme negative commenters on this video don't realise that their comments alone are enough to explain why some people identify as Scouse rather than English.
when you booo you're own national anthem what do you expect. and im an Australian

Beautiful video this mate, explained so well for being so short (could have had a couple of hours on each point and still not scratched the surface haha) got me a little emotional.
The Sun is an awful newspaper and I’m glad they banned it. Unfortunately it’s only banned in Liverpool and not the rest of Merseyside where it can still be found in corner shops
Absolutely love this video, you nailed it mate! hopefully some people from outside Liverpool. I’ll see you this and change there mind and preconceptions
Thanks for the kind words Andrew! Glad you enjoyed the video 😁
Great video this Tieran lad, summed us up perfectly and got the city spot on, thank you mate
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for taking the time to find out the reasons why things are as they are. It makes a refreshing change to hear a balanced and well-researched opinion instead of the typical copy/paste nonsense spouted by the uninformed majority.
Lots of UK cities have been called the second city of Empire. But probably Glasgow is the most often referred to as it. It was a strange experience hearing Rangers fans singing the national anthem and LFC fans booing it at Anfield recently. Up to them, of course. And being Glaswegian, I totally understand their preference for local identification over a national one. But that also means they have to accept the antipathy it attracts. Still good people whatever their outlook etc.
It’s strange hearing Rangers fans from Scotland sing the national anthem of an English monarchy. I’m a scouser and we don’t boo the NA to make ourselves less popular but because governments and the establishment covered up Hillsborough.
Also,at one stsge, Dublin was referred to as the second city of the British empire! Its all part of our chequered history and we are not ashamed of it
Liverpool has a special place in the hearts of us Irish,especially after Hillsborough
@@geraldwalsh6489 It was indeed. As I said, a few cities have been labeled this. But I would always suggest Glasgow is most often referred to as such. I'm from Glasgow so I would!! I also said I understand why Liverpudlians boo the National Anthem. Rangers are the establishment club in Scotland and represent Glasgow's historical affiliation with Empire and the monarch. We've always sang the NA and always will. The SNP attempted to categorise its singing at matches as a public offence. They, as usual, failed. Liverpudlians rejecting the notion of Britishness is their privilege. But it only bolsters negative attitudes of the city.
@@robinmcewen3286 So what? What did identifying with England ever give them? The EU showed more enthusiasm to getting the city back on its feet than the central government. I hope Liverpool never changes her outlook, it's always been an outward-looking city anyway and perhaps it's resurgence will come from thence.
i hope Frank Carlyle is reading these comments he's a hero of mine and one of the few people i know who talks the truth about Liverpool
Fantastic, interesting, and very well produced video. Very very good.
Thank you for this video.
What a fantastic video, thank you so much for this, I'm from Liverpool and was a bit emotional by the end of this 😅
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it! ☺
They seem to be a hybrid city and people. When England invaded Ireland, the Irish invaded Liverpool
Invaded? More like migrated

Do you also greet all the other millions of Irish people who came to England in the same way ? Because a lot of Irish and some Scot-Gaels and Welsh, are ignorant when they hear a southern England accent, presuming that they must be related to the Queen or something similar. More Irish people went to the London area than Liverpool, well also more Irish [people went to the Midlands than Liverpool also, to this day.
@@captaininspector8898 but he’s not just talking about the Irish influence alone. It’s more about Liverpools stand in society and their political look on thing. Nobody is more similar than an Irishmen and a scouser. Also, your information is so wrong. By 1851, more than 20% of Liverpool was born in Ireland. I think you need to do some research on what city has the most Irishmen (%). Because you’re so badly mistaken. Liverpool has literally been nicknamed “33rd county of Ireland”
@@captaininspector8898 you also have to keep in mind. 99% of the Irishmen, had to come through Liverpools docks to get to London. Most settled here…
@@joshg2603 Sure, many, or via Anglesey. Or even I guess into other places, Bristol or Cardiff even.
Liverpool is the only city in UK that I as a foreigner actually felt amazing, accepted and relaxed. Great city, fantastic people and much better than London. There is life actually in Liverpool and not here in London where I am right now. Serbia 🇷🇸 Liverpool 💪
How many cities did you visit? Cardiff for example
Sadly most tourists go to London and see the worst part of the UK. Glad you got to visit Liverpool, it’s a lovely city, and I would like to go some day. I’m from Newcastle and can relate with Scousers in the sense that we don’t generally associate ourselves with the English, we’re Geordies from Geordieland.

I met Cila Black in New Zealand airport of all places. And my mum took me to see the Beatle mania in Sydney 1964. Liverpool has reached out and touched me! ❤️👍
My Grandad was a scouser or Liverpudlian as he prefered to call it. He was very proud of where he was from. He was also a very proud Englishman.
Most of scoucers are not of english descent

Great piece, thanks for making it. YNWA ❤
I’m not a Scouser but have enjoyed a lifelong love affair with the City. As a child obsessed by the Beatles and Liverpool Football Club - the city’s represented something of a Disney World like aura in my mind… My first ever memory in life was waving at my sisters in the giant Yellow Submarine at the festival gardens of 1984… I returned 5 years later for my first match at Anfield - a 3-0 win over Southampton, when I even met Kenny Dalglish afterwards and John Barnes at the hotel we were staying at..! Countless matches later and even a Paul McCartney gig at Anfield in 2008…! The Champions League homecoming parade in 2005 or the 4-0 smashing of Barcelona… and God knows how many Magical Mystery Tours I’ve since done.. showing new friends the sights… amazing memories of an amazing place. Liverpools a wonderful City. Like nowhere else on Earth.
Thank you. YNWA.
The only reason people bang on about the citys` spirit is because there is nothing else. Its a dump.

There are a minority of idiots in Liverpool who trot out this 'Scouse not English' nonsense. I personally only know one person who says this (heard it loads at the match) I served for 13 years Queen and Country and am proud to have done so, cringe worthy! Proud to be Scouse, English and British 🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧
You’re entitled to your views but not everyone in Liverpool shares them and that doesn’t make them idiots. I’m proud to be from Liverpool but I have no love for the concept of England. I love our Celtic influence and I’m glad we have it. The best qualities of Scouse derive from that not Englishness in my opinion.

Thank You. I knew that one of the Reasons Liverpool fans booed the Anthem had to do with Hillsborough and that the way Thatcher treated the city, but I had never heard about the General Strike. Also Thank You, because I had always wondered where the Term Scouse came from.
So glad you enjoyed the video! Yeah I actually didn't know about the term "scouser" or the general strike before meeting Frank either!
Actually, the booing of the anthem started before 1989. I was at Wembley in 1986, and we booed the anthem then.
As an Evertonian, I can tell you the anthem thing started way before. Every Wembley occasion, I have been at from the 70s right through, there has been booing and singing over that dirge of an anthem. You are correct about 86 but 84 was even more forceful and vociferous. BTW, why do some Scots sing it when it recounts crushing the life out of them!? Good piece though.
Absolutely brilliant❤
