Bloody hell Snoops, MK has a history, I'm not having it.
As for slum clearance, i reckon most towns South of Birmingham can be considered as such.
I werk in one of Speke Airports old aircraft hangers, apparently built by a German company just in time for 1939, thus never actually occupied. I think Lennon, despite rumours of finding the airport and fucking off, actually lived in nearby Aigburth. It's a Crowne Plaza now, beer £3.20 a pint, City of Culture my arse!!!
