This is a link to a BBC News report about 'international Scouse day' but not everyones happy about it.
It mentions in the article that when a newspaper needs a feature on juvenile crime, poverty or drugs, the journalist will look no further than liverpool.
To the southerners, liverpool is seen as a place 'full of rogues looking for houses to burgle'
This shows that Liverpool and 'Scousers' have a negative stereotype, and are unable to avoid negative reactions.
