Bradford

Its where the first Islamic republic of the UK will be founded. You'd have thought people would have learnt the lesson of India / Pakistan.

I seem to recall the muslim communities around Leeds/Bradford calling for an independent State within the UK back in the 80's - The current PM told them to "behave themselves"

Looks like it's back on the agenda

Dewsbury, Bradford and Tower Hamlets ... where Islamic extremists want to establish independent states with sharia law

There is also the Islamic Republic of Luton.

Nothing we can do about it though.

Of course we can, but it wasn't going to be nice. Under the current UK/EU regime, impossible to implement anyway.

The islamoafricanization of Europe is the worst catastrophe in 1500 years.

I am against democracy. One man = one vote, the worst idea ever.

The IMAX was great there. They used to do Trilogy days where we went to see all three Alien and Star Wars films etc from start to finish. 8+ hours solid. Was a great waste of an entire day. Alien films in full IMAX was very scarey!

Was at Uni at Bradford in late eighties, early nineties - it was great fun as a student.

Lived on the edge of Bradford (Greengates) from 98 to 2001 and it had gone down hill dramatically.

Did see a lot of films on the IMAX - Aliens and T2 spring to mind - awesome.

AND the best curries in the UK (still - if you know where to look for them).

What about Birmingham?

What about Birmingham?

What about it

What about Birmingham?

Being the second city it is big enough to probably accommodate a larger community but not appear in the same state as Bradford. It can still have pockets of Asian communities and still not appear broken (arguable of course lol). Bradford is, on the whole, ****ed if you compare the community v geographic area of the city.

Worked there for 5 years.

It is hell. It is like it belongs in the middle East, not Yorkshire.

Plenty of colleagues got mugged from the local chavs, there were plenty of murders, even a shooting (non fatal) around the corner from my gym one morning.

The roads are built for horse and carts, not cars.

Evil dump.

And WTF is that supposed to mean?!? Like it belongs to the middle-east e.g. Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait, Beirut, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain - all of which are 10x cleaner than the cleanest parts of the UK? Or like Pakistan which is not part of the middle-east?

Dumb ass

Get off the beaten track in Oman, Beirut, Qatar and it's quite clear there's truth there
