Yup, along the same lines as the “sharia no go zones” and “get stabbed six ways to Sunday every time you go outside” myths

Our town has been abandoned by police and is overrun with violent criminals on unlicensed motorbikes. So make of that what you will.

Myths not without an element of truth. Have you spent any serious amount of time in Bradford, for example?

  • Yup, nice town, friendly people. Bit run down and scruffy, but that’s hardly the fault of the people who live there, rather the economic policies of several decades that destroyed the region’s industry and has failed to encourage growth for a replacement - similar to the USA’s rust belt or similar post-industrial regions in Europe.

    • https://www.plumplot.co.uk/City-Bradford-crime-stats.html it is the 2nd most violent city in the UK

      It's a city, by the way, not a town. What took you as an Australian to Bradford? How long did you spend there?

      I've lived nearby for over 5 years.

      It's reassuring to know none of the crime issues are the fault of anyone but successive governments! What lefty, university nonsense
