Last Friday the FT published an article stating that
    A demographic time-bomb of falling populations is threatening to
    make property investments in most northern cities less attractive
    than London.

It also states
    Census figures from 1981 to 2001 showed Liverpool was the worst
    affected city, losing 15.1 per cent, or 78,000, of its original
    517,000 population.
