Pretty much agree with everything he says

"But how to make Liverpool economically prosperous? If only there was some way for Liverpudlians to profit from going on and on about the past in a whiny voice."

Interesting little piece. Arginald would not like it. Too many big words !
Mr Valleywater is best left with cloth cap & ferrets. I wished the producers
had not felt it necessary to keep flashing up chunks of words on the screen,
but otherwise thought-provoking.

I think Will Self says some interesting things - both here and in other monologues and debates that I've seen. He is a modern-day cultural commentator, a bit like Martin Amis.
