Nothing in the world can prepare you for Halifax! The scummiest hole in the whole world – my girlfriend who comes from Bristol is often gobsmacked by the detritus on view and she only sees it on a weekend when the scum are dressed up!
During the weekdays it is even worse. Those of you from big towns and cities, think of the worst estate you know – Gipton and Halton Moor in Leeds spring to my mind – if the scum hanging around the Happy Shopper there are tipped in to the town centre and you’ll be half there.
Even the pensioners are scum, trying to use the main post office on a lunchtime you are immersed into an ammonia stinking, piss world, the mothers (13 – 16) push their Burberry buggies round, the baby girls ears already pierced and ready for the hoop earrings she’ll get for her 2nd birthday.
Daytime scum hang around near the market close to the cheap shoe shops, Greggs and JJB Sports.
At night the town is a frightening place, anyone over 40 is in a huge minority. The scumettes are all identically dressed with more flesh on show than on an Ibiza beach and one thought strikes you: – Some of the girls have wonderful legs, tight lithe bodies and L’Oreal hair but they’re all ugly, every last one of them. (Did anyone see the daughter on C4′s Wife Swap broadcast 20th July? – fine example). Then of course there’s more than a fair smattering of the Size 18s in Size 12 clothes. Mind you it’s not like the blokes are a catch either, there’s definitely a narrowing of the gene pool around here and the almost palpable level of potential violence would be enough for George Dubya to send the troops in. Most of the shops around George Sq. closed years ago and turned into bars and then the council (who granted permission) complain that there’s too much of a drinking culture in the town. Scumettes are not chatted up & shagged in this town, they’re carried legless from the nightclubs and raped in an alleyway. A truly awful town.
Places to observe / avoid: Tramshed; anybar in George Sq; WC’s (used to be a public loo – ironic?);Coliseum;Yates; Jumping (Fighting) Jaks (replaced the last cultural outpost in town, the cinema);various curry houses around Lord Street after 2 a.m.; the taxi office on Horton St.
Coming soon Elland & Brighouse!!

I think you should be done for slanderous speech,your comment on Halifax is well out of order.Well over exaggerated.Your report on here could make liable.You should think before,before writing or opening your mouth.
Halifax is nice town,there is trouble sometimes, in George square after people have been drinking on Friday or saturday nights,there always as been. It is no different to anywhere else in the uk.
A lot of people will be highly offended by the over exaggerated blog you have written.
I would suggest you think before writing rubbish!!!!
i think what you have said about halifax some is true but a majority you have totally bull shitted!
Halifax might be a bit rough on nights out but were isn’t these days?

I am quite humoured but also quite angry at your summing up of Halifax. Whilst I agree that there are a few undesirables about can I please point out that not all Haligonians (apparently thats what we’re called) are not scumettes! I have lived in Halifax all my life, I am 24 with a psychology degree, I have travalled around the world twice and now plan to teach abroad, I don’t have kids (nor do I intend to have any anytime soon as yes I have seen the “talent” that walks around town) I don’t smoke and I don’t get shagged or raped as you so eloquently put it in town, I have a full-time job working in an office and I pay rent and taxes and believe it or not I don’t scrounge in any way shape or form.
Like I said, I do agree with you on most points but not ALL of Halifax is bad. Mainly those that doss around the Job Centre and the likes of The Cell, Portman and Pickle, Lewins, Acapulco (chav sinkhole of the world) and the Bass House.
I advise you to remove this page immediateley.
Scooby, you tosser

i came to halifax from scotland,it was the best move i ever made’i soon became a mixican ‘and was amazed at how easy it was to get money for f**k all from those simpletons at the job centre on clare road. i’ll never forget the proud look on my old mans face when i recieved my first giro. He put his arm around me and said ‘son, now you’re a man!’ Less than half an hour later’ the scumbag landlord of the jumples boozer had half of it’ and ladbrookes had the other half ‘ that was the tradition’ for your old man to inherit [ steal ] your first giro. i soon realised.signing on once a fortnight wasn’t enough to keep me in fags and cider’ so i got hold of a couple of dodgy birth certs’ and “hey presto ” my park bench drinking days were over . it was the high life all the way for me now’ thanks to my entreprenereul skills and those thick cunts down at the dole office.for some reason i found myself regular at the bull in town . i dont know why ,i dont think it had owt to do with the slutbag strippers that made regular appearances there’ especially when my birds mum was on’ but thats another story.before long i was a regular everyday pisshead ‘pot smokin ‘ pillar of the community . i even started a little sideline selling dope ‘and a bit o this n that to the local yobs and wannabe gangsters ‘ along with the speed freaks and fuckwits round the town .a good night out would consist of a 20 or so pub crawl ‘ and with 7 or 8 of my pals we’d batter the living daylights out of a group of smartly dressed fuckin herberts from either brighouse or bradford on a lads night out tryin to shag the local fanny from under our noses ‘ yea right….that was our job ‘a lesson they soon learned after coming to in an alleyway or pub toilet with their fuckin snotty noses wrapped around their cheekbones minus wallets n gold chains etc . Anyway to cut a long story short ‘the years rolled by ‘ and the pakis rolled in..the violence got fierce along with drinking ‘ oh ..! and the birds got uglier . thats when we stumbled across the jewel in the crown ‘ the only thing ever known to bring the thugs’ drunken wasters ‘ slags ‘ junkies ‘ chancers together with our asian cousins ‘CURRY…! e.g saturday night..15 pints of lager ‘washed down with a couple or three blastaways ‘ and maybe one or two jack 2daniels for good measure ‘ then it was on to neelams or some other cockroach infested fuckin fleapit for a chicken vindaloo and chips a couple of beers ‘ then it was into the ladies for a shit in the sink ‘ and last but not least ‘ a peach of a headbutt to the fat overweight stinking paki waiter who shot his load in your ruby murry as you legged it out the door for a 500 yard sprint to the safety of the town centre ‘ which by this time looked like a scene from ” village of the dammned ” every village idiot and every town drunk from up and down the country was in george square trying to flag down a taxi ‘ while some scratty arsed slappers with their drawers round their ankles pissing in a shop doorway or getting gangbanged round the back of the acca while their sniveling f**king husbands are at home babysitting her 5 mixed raced stinkin fuckin bratts . …..So whoever that fuckin retard who calls himself a human is and his bastard snotty nosed two pieced crimpoline suit wearing fuckin black mans ride from Bristol are…here’s some advice from a guy who has never done a days work in his life ‘ drives a top of the range mercedes ‘a jaw dropping stunningly good looking girlfriend ‘ and lucky enough to have a wife who hasn’t let herself go ‘and daren’t ‘or she’d be out on her useless bastard arse quicker than you can say ” Bristol gobshites ” …..Clifton suspension bridge…….now f**k off to your 9 to 5 you pair of oxygen thieving cunts.
I have just been rolling on the floor laughing my tits of..What a fantastic display of a unique reply..Straight to the point in the plainest form of english..Who are we to judge anyone..pople are a product of thre upbringing.. Some Halifax youngsters can only learn from ther parents..(which is usually how to “skin up..”.sniff glue..steal from the pound shop..and make 10 cigs last a fortnight.)..they have no fathers guidance…the closest thing to a father is the 10 uncles who visit late at night..
So Bristol People…DO NOT JUDGE….and keep your f**k face comments to yourself you pretentious false bastards..so stuck up..that ya wife wants here arse shagging but daren,t ask…Take your spotty face for a SHIT..
well what can i say but f**king well said i have never read anything as funny and i noticed the bristol twat didnt reply …….bristol aint that nice anyways …………leave halifax alone people here salt of the earth even the alcopoppies outside our local community store all day every day not forgetting the smack heads and rok n rollers who gather daily to witness the duck races at peoples park……as for them down the social there all on the dole now anyway ……..all i can say is halifax rocks so if you dont reside in this town of beauty and elegance then go join the other jumping of the bridge ….oh f**k forgot to mention we aint far from hebden suicide capital off the u.k ……..shit yorkshire is just one hell of place
I’ve moved from Halifax for work reasons within the last year and if you’re that upset with Halifax don’t make the mistake i made and move to Oldham, Christ on a bike this is bad.
I moved to a nicer district of Oldham and there’s been 2 stabbings and a shooting in 12 months within a mile of my home, i never had it that close in Yorkshire.
Back to Halifax, i’ve read all the thread and there are some points on both sides of the argument, Halifax does need to raise it’s game and address some serious social issues, the biggest one is educating the female population that a career mum living off the state is not a proper job and using social loans as a pot to dip in to at the weekends to fund their nights out.
None of this is isolateed to Halifax thought, it’s UK wide just more evident in some areas than others.
Keep up the debate, it’s very interesting……………………….
