Great news. My beautiful town, Croydon, is now finally statistically guaranteed to achieve city status by 2027. And to think that people used to scoff at our high knife crime levels, suckers.

I'm all for Croydon achieving city status if it means people will finally stop claiming that it's a part of London.

The Queen has agreed - Southend will become a city.

Oh great. Now anyone who lives in a town that wants to become a city knows they will just have to stab their MP.

MPs representing towns that want to become cities must be absolutely shitting themselves now.

Fortunately Luton's two MPs are Labour, so no one gives a fuck if they die.

Could we all be a little bit more respectful please? Let's not forget - A TOWN HAS DIED... And been reborn as a city, but still.

Is the airport still going to pretend it's in London?

That old trout says 'this is now a City' and it just is.  Ever get the feeling this is Arsehole Island?

Yup.

Although they could be poppies, it's difficult to see from here.

Wow, is there anything she cannot do? She must be Superwoman.

I don't recall Charles II granting anything city status－and I, of course, knew him personally. Jolly nice man, if a tad adulterous.

Imagine what this government could do for starving hungry children if they deemed them as important as their Tory mates.

There'd be way too many cities though.

Last flight out is October 31st. Might take a look to see how many people are clinging to the sides.

They should rename it in meta- referencing honour of how it got city status in the first place.

Actually, no they fucking shouldn't.

Can't believe the people of Southend got together and had their MP murdered just so they could put the word 'City' on their signposts. This country.

One of the most nauseating things I've ever heard. I'm reminded of how as a new MP, current Speaker Lindsay Hoyle spent most of his time campaigning to name stuff after the recently deceased troubled posho Lady Di Queen of Are Hearts, as if the only purpose of an MP is to vindicate the sick individuals who write letters to local papers.

People where I live are obsessed with gaining city status. If I was our MP I'd be thick as shit watching myself.

"Listen, as our MP, we want you to push for Royal Tunbridge Wells city status"
"Well, I don't think...."
"We don't want another Amess on our hands, do we?"

I'm sure you are all delighted to know Southend is now a city: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-60568792

There is also a new battery powered pier train named after David Amess

Not sure if Southend becoming a city will do anything to benefit the people who live there.

Not sure David Amess did anything to benefit them either.

Southend gaining city status has certainly been one of Putin's less talked-about demands.

Quote from: imitationleather on October 18, 2021, 02:13:34 PMThey need to do what other seaside towns like Hastings and Margate have done and move all the people who currently live there to somewhere even shitter and get a load of young couples with loads of money from London instead.

I lived in Hastings/St. Leonards for a while. Went back a few weeks ago and it was really on its arse.
