Kensington of the North, The UK’s Milan and England’s Barcelona are just some of the names used to describe this up-and-coming former textile town in West Yorkshire. Personally I prefer scally riddled shit-tip. True, the bourgeoisie glory of parts of the city centre is a sight to behold, however this is a cruel aberration. Just a bricks throw from Harvey Nicks and Louis Vuitton lies an altogether much darker side. Designer chic gives way to Kappa shite. Aston Martins are replaced by souped-up Novas and bulldog-faced fat slags and their smack-head boyfriends replace the long-limbed beautiful people of the cities Milanese arcades. If ever there was a case of a sows ear masquerading as a silk purse, it’s Leeds. Underneath all the rhetoric and the snooty bars, Leeds is chavscum central. Dare to venture into the city centre after dark and you get to see the real Leeds in it’s awful, head-stomping, blood stained glory. Inebriated fat whores, eff and blind their way from trashy bar to trashy bar, while rodent-faced arsewipes hurl obscenities at couples leaving the numerous swish restaurants. Amidst all the mayhem, dozens of crackheads hide in darkened alleyways waiting to pounce jack-the-ripper like on unsuspecting revellers. A night-out in Leeds is truly a must for those case studying gratuitous violence and depraved sexual conduct. Come daybreak after all the older chavs have smashed and vomited their way home, the younger breed of chavs venture out. The delightful neighbourhoods of Beeston, East End Park and Gipton are the perfect locations to see these particularly vile specimens. Twelve year old trollops resplendent in their Lizzy Duke earrings and Mr T chains, stuff Gregs pasties into their offsprings chocolate covered mouths. Meanwhile demonic gangs of stick wielding hooded scumbags prowl the streets looking for old folk and students to rob and throw in the nearest canal. Yes, Leeds has a unique and altogether more terrifying mutation on the urban chav, the psycho chav, and be warned, these can be female as well as male, although I use the term ‘female’ rather loosely. Bump into these c*nts and you’d better be able to fight like a Rottweiler with trapped knackers or run like cheetah with a banger up it’s arse. Damien from The Omen has nothing on these arseholes.
Leeds are going up going up, Leeds are going up. Leeds is one of the most passionate city’s in England, when people from Leeds go out of Leeds all they sing and shout about is Leeds. I’m originally from Manchester but moved to Leeds when I was 15 and i’ve been converted.. Things are just different in Leeds, the people are so proud of their history and culture.. Although like every big city (3rd biggest in England) there are some shit holes but there are some gorgeous parts too like Otley, Wetherby, Morley, Moortown, Chapple Allerton and the like.
I lived in Leeds for ten years and thankfully I have just left.
I was lucky enough to live on the outskirts of north Leeds, so exposure to chavs and their vile culture was minimal. Leeds is awash with chavs and chav culture. I use the term chav to describe generic council estate folk who have a strong accent, lack class, lack the ambition to move on, lack social skills, lack manners and generally walk round with a face like a smacked arse – particularly council estate women over the age of 35. These women are ten a penny in town, both during the day and at night. I used to hate having to be around the market in town, it’s full of scummy chav types round there. And walking past those two pubs on The Headrow where only the most discerning of socially retarded lowlife loiters for a cheap pint and a gobbing off session on the pavement. Fucking scum.
There are huge areas of Leeds that are chavvy. Large estates of socially retarted scum who think they’re really cool and clearly are not.
So glad I left. Most of it is a horrible shithole and that won’t change in the foreseeable future.
What gets me more than anything with chavs and council estate scum, is this idea they have that they’re cool. Now, I know they aren’t the brightest but for fuck’s sake, get a grip. You’re at the bottom of the social scale and typically have no desire to move upwards, even if you knew how. You’re not cool, quite the opposite. Live with it, accept it and know your place.
i bet the guy who wrote that about leeds is a southern fairy……
I grew up in a family of 6 children, on an extremely rough council estate, and then moved to another rough area in my teens. I went to a rubbish school, and my area was crime-ridden – drugs, crime, violence, etc – and it was so bad that even police tried to avoid the area. I’m now a polite, decent mannerable 26 year old, who would now consider herself intelligent and articulate. I left my rubbish school with top grades, got into college and did well there, and went on to university. I had no money and so stayed living at home to study in my so called ‘slum’ area. This did not distract me and I worked hard and left uni with a good grade. I’m now training to be a Lawyer. I’m not some rich snob that grew up with a spoon in my mouth. Nor did I have rich parents to ‘put me through’ university and pay for a private education. My siblings and i didn’t grow up on brand names, like the latest Nike trainers and Adidas hoodies and so on. We were extrelemy poor and grew up WAY below. But do you know what? My parents instilled in us discipline, manners, respect for people, self-respect and ambition. We where taught that education matters, there are consequences for ALL actions, and that this world owes us NOTHING. We were taught that if we wanted something in life, anything, no matter how big or small, we had to work for it. And you know what? All of my mothers older children went on to study and have all become something. The younger ones are on their way. I’m not trying to be smug or anything, but I HATE when people use pathetic excuses like poor upbringings, social status and so on in order to behave like immature ‘chavs’. The thuggery, lack of respect, lack of ambition etc. While it’s true that ‘scum’ can bread ‘scum’, it still comes down to decency and ambition. Why don’t people instead use their backgrounds as a reason, and motivation for doing better and becoming better people? College doesn’t cost anything. In fact, these days, you get PAID to attend college! Rather than sponge off the state, cause trouble on others, and lead these ‘chavvy’ lifestyles, get an education. You need it. The dreadful language used by some on this site speaks for itself. Parents, you may not be able to afford a posh education – most people can’t. But it doesn’t cost a penny to teach your children respect for themeslves and others, manner, ambiton, pride and so on. I could so easily have given in to the peer pressure and become a so-called ‘chav’, hanging around on street corners drinking, stealing to get hold of branded items but my upbringing enabled me to say NO! I thank my parents. I blame the parents of these thugs. If people can’t bring up a child properly – and no I don’t mean they need to have a lot of money – then they really shouldn’t have them at all. After all, these kids will be the future, and we really don’t need anymore ‘scum’.
As for Leeds, it is generally a mixed bag. The affluent areas tend to be really affluent, while the poorer areas (like where I’m from) seem to get poorer. I’m not going to name area names thought becasue EVERY area has it’s good and bad points, every persons experiences differ from the next person, and what seems rough to some will appear good to others. You can’t judge an entire area (especially if you’ve not lived there)as it’s too much of a generalisation. Adel is considered posh. But I know two people who live on neighbouring roads. One complains that his life is absolute hell, whilst the other can’t wait to bring up her family there as its ‘so nice’!
Hahahahaha, your going to fuk me up dicked? WHAT! WHAT! braaaap!
Two guesses, the author of that comment either went to intake or west leeds…
or didn’t go to school at all.
hahahahahahaha i haven’t laughed this much in a long time!!! Ok so maybe this description of Leeds is a little one-sided i mean don’t get me wrong i’ve lived here my whole life and it does some up about 60% of Leeds pretty well, but there are some genuinely nice people and nice places, its just a shame there is so much shit surrounding them! and as for the small irritating little chavs that is so true, they are pathetic excuses for human beings, its sad really because i remember being their age (not so long ago i’m only 18) and i can honestly say i blame my peers for causing all of this because it appears to have gotten worse whilst we were going through the teenage years! i am just glad i have managed to successfully come out the other side without being corrupted by these chavs!
and finally Oh my lord, i just read that “Natzofleeds” comment! I swear i had to read it like 3 times to understand it and get over the vulgar language, seriously im not particularly posh im from Otley but that was just awful language my parents would slap me and probably kick me out if i ever came home talking like that! never thought i’d say it but thank god i have parents with traditional values!!!
Oh and by the way. I grew up in a council house on a very rough estate before you accuse me of being born with everything handed to me on a plate. But my parents brought me up to be polite and respectful to others. These days kids are not brought up properly. It is getting worse….. TRAMPS breed TRAMPS breed TRAMPS breed TRAMPS etc……
Oh dear
“fuck you up” ???? What a set of dildos… yes dildos. It is obvious that the “children” that write these comments need to do a lot of growing up. If you are not children, then I bet you are on benifits and have no desire to ever work in your shitty little lives and you want to sponge of the state to pay for your crappy chav lifetyle. oh no…. are you going to “fuck me up”? Its time you people grew up, don’t you understand how much you show yourselves up? I feel very sorry for anyone who is in this position, but you only have yourselves to blame. I suppose your comment to this will be “Am gonna stab him init”. Need I say anymore. Get a job, grow up and be a responsible adult like most “normal” people are.
To be honest I don’t know wtf that guy (Mark) is going on about war for. Unless you’ve lived in a proper rough area you don’t know how disgusting chav culture can actually be.
Leeds isn’t that bad for scals, you wanna try some areas of Liverpool lad, then you’ll be telling a different story.
Either way, it’s not acceptable to go round beating people up and shouting abusive comments for no reason.
I think this is well funny, i’m from eastend park area and lived here all my life and the area is not a shit hole maybe richmond hill has gone down hill.
Yes many young people are chav’s its a stage in life people go through and also many children go this way as either they have had no support from there family etc and left to defend for there self and in the long run have met simular people like there selfs who have accepted them for them not like the upper class people who look down on less unfortunate people.
Eastend park was where the irish community lived has again the english wouldnt accept them into there communtiy and they built up this area with there own hands.
Because eastend park is a small community you are guaranteed that most people know someone or the next etc in this area making it safe for the people who live here.
I am proud to live here and have a successful career which ive gain from reality and i work up north leeds the upper class area and have to say many young children up that area apart from holt park have no independance or comon sense how to survive on there own.
Every area has troubled teenagers whether its cookridge eastend park bramley where ever, but everyone has a purpose in life!
I’m 13, and I live in Tingley near Leeds. Whenever I’ve been into Leeds, in certain areas, I feel more at threat than others. In the centre, its fine. Also, my Grandparents live in Bell Isle. The thing with Bell Isle is there are small areas that are trouble free, and lovely. My grandparents live in a cul de sac like this. But then theres other places where you feel intimidated!
The other people trying to argue Leeds case, are quite honestly failing. Your not making Leeds seem any better threating to “fuck u up”!
Oh, and I rofl’ed at Henrys comment =
“Oh well, we need someone to flip our burgers I suppose.”
