Anyway, I wish the new collaborative administration the best of British.....they are going to need it.

I'm not assuming anything, but working somewhere and having to live there permanently are two entirely different things.
I know Swadlincote well and would hardly say it can be compared to a large inner city area with all the multicultural pressures for housing
