I'll give it a go. I doubt it can be appreciably worse than Liverpool 8 (which is what the council would have us call Toxteth, even 18 years after the riots). Even the danger of getting shot is probably about the same. Anything's better than the f'kng countryside.
The B of E used to have a mentoring scheme whereby young central bankers would help kids in Stepney or somewhere with their maths homework, and I'd certainly support something similar being made compulsory today.
So I suppose I do support forced labour after all.
