Small world mate! I live just outside Starbeck, the area's known as Woodlands though. I wouldn't want to be associated with the riff raff!

Wanna bet?

You've obviously never been in town when the EDL have done a protest march...

I'd rather have been in Kabul that weekend!

Warren - who starts the rioting isn't the point!

Bradford is a mixing pot of hatred at the moment and it's simmering. The place hasn't really ever recovered from the 2001 riots (£25,000,000 of damage caused) and local businesses weren't interested in redeveloping and starting again, hence the place is now just pound shops, charity shops and takeaways.

What i'm getting at is it doesn't matter who lights the touch paper, but whoever does will cause an effect far greater than a lot of people would like to see. I personally hate the place but my retired mother lives not far outside of Bradford and I don't want race hate riots just down the road from her!

will its going to happen soonish anyway, wether its in a year or 10 its going to happen. Our long term period of austerity will only flame the tensions and make things worse. while the government continues to look purely at the idealistic PC bullshit rather than the practicalities in our society then the problems will continue to get worse until the riots etc force the government to act.

its not if but when.

exactly. just because your living in a flat doesnt mean you cant have a semi-ok car. its not a rare RS or anything especially special so wont really attract that much attention to be fair. especially if your trying to get into appropriate modern accommodation for similar young professionals then most of the cars will likely be similar or newer so why would yours be any special target??

if your really worried then off road parking etc or living in a ok area of town rather than a shit hole.

if you can only afford a shit hole then id advise you to look at why your moving if the job only pays enough to live in shit housing in a shit area.....

Nice one!!!

Everyone use to tell me they hated Leeds but when I was staying with my sister, it was pretty darn sweet. Found the people really polite and always helpful.

Good Luck, Wish you all the best hun
