Re: British expat children have better quality of life
Typical beeb.
Had to ruin what promised to be a worthy article by implying people in multi-ethnic inner city neighbourhoods are more civil and better mannered than those who live in middle class towns and suburbs.
I love these quotes:
East London: 'We observed how shoppers of a range of ethnicities queued patiently and stepped out of the way of prams and elderly shoppers.'
But in Salisbury, Trowbridge and Frome: 'high levels of superficial civility... often hid deeper, covert incivilities" such as domestic violence, racism and prejudice against younger residents.'

Finding those problems there isn't exactly news, but their prevalence in Trowbridge would be news. Will read the article.
