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.

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
