3. Negative coverage about Hull

-

The snooty comments about Hull being the UK City of Culture for 2017 are really getting my goat at the moment. Being from the Hull area myself, there seems to be a lot of snobbishne­ss and derision in some of the reporting about it. People forget that the likes of Philip Larkin (writer and poet) and William Wilberforc­e (helped abolish slavery) were from Hull, and I think people need to be a bit more open-minded about what the city has to offer.
