Been to Batley a lot, mrs worked there and still goes to gym there, very Pakistani but always seems quiet and trouble free apart from the pissed up yobs at Frontierland nightclub come chucking out time (and getting in time come to think of it).

Awful....

Yeah, but that was Birstal. Different place. Still in the cleckhuddersfax environs but batley isn't birstal.

True, but on our way to Batley, and Liversedge t'other way, feels Batley-ish and Birstall is in the Batley constituency.....

We come down the hill from Toys 'Ya' Us to the junction near Crilly's, Birstall centre on the right and left turn and you're in Batley past the Subway and the Merc garage with the big Star..

Having said that I'm a Lancastrian.....

I don't think geography is the important part of the story here to be fair

Very sad, with a young family as well.

A local man was up in court the other day for chasing a canvasing Labour Councillor down the street with a running chainsaw, shouting if he caught him he was going to cut his head off. Didn't even get prison. A running feckin chainsaw.

To be fair, the guy was canvassing for Jim Murphy. Mitigating circumstances, m'lud.
