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.
wow. Are’nt we getting in a tizzy that the streets are’nt lined with caviar.
Leeds is sound. Lot less chavs than Hull, bit more chilled out and less fags than Mancs and much much nicer than scruffy Liverpool. There’s a good mix of people and areas. To be fair the ‘posh’ shops and bars in the city centre have actually killed the vibe of the city. Compare the Corn Exchange 15 years ago to now and you’ll know the difference. There was once a thriving alternative scene in the city now the council and their posh developments have sterilised that. Still a nice city though and I love living here.
I have lived in Leeds all my life (50 years) and love the place. I do agree there are a lot of chavvie looking youths hanging around but that is the governments fault for not providing enough for youths to do and the fault of bad parenting. I live in East End Park and my street is clean and tidy, as are a lot of others in my area but you always get people who don’t care or give a damn about their surroundings and they let us all down. The shops on York Road near where the old Victoria School was, are an eyesore and I feel embarrassed at all the litter people throw into the street. That aside, you won’t meet friendlier people than Leeds 9 ers.
ive read some of the comments left by some so called ex leeds people ?? who have left our great city for no other reason exept they had no friends because they had no personality so left to go to a city such as hull,or grantham or grimsby which matches their boring personality,so stay away and dont come back to leeds this great city doesnt want you back. leeds people will treat you how you treat them,we like a laugh and the crack,you wanna f**k about ? lets step outside ! its all up to the visitor of our great city of which you are a “guest”
The worst parts of Leeds are Alwoodley, Adel, Cookridge, Shadwell and Scarcroft – too many scarfers and jester hat wearing non fanatics, or even worse – rugby fans
Places like Miggy (LS10 lad myself), Belle Isle, Seacroft, Bramley, Beeston and Halton Moor are full of top lads and true hardcore fanatics.
Best place in Leeds though is Elland Road – although it’s hard to get in because of ticket prices, but you’ll be sure to find many young future fanatics in the JC bogs – I’ve spoken to many
If Bates spent the money he charged for tickets and hot dogs on the rough areas everywhere would be alright

Leeds is a serious dive. I got out four years ago and I’ve never been happier. Every time I return to visit friends/relatives I can’t believe how bad it’s got. The redevelopment of the city centre has pretty much stalled and most of the locals have brains the size of an amoebas bell-end. Why do all the chavs in Leeds race each other, with their heads down, pushing pushchairs containing pikey-faced brats at high speed? Place should be f**king fumigated.
thats great wisdom there coming from a boy whos named after a dumb animal from a childs television ! and where do you live now dylan?in a wendy house with andy pandy by any chance,get a grip and stay away from leeds nobody here likes you ! your BORING
I don’t think Leeds is really that bad. I’ve lived in Seacroft since I was born and, truthfully, barely anything happens. Yeah, there’s fights sometimes and the odd car or two getting knicked, but there’s no full-on gang violence/crime. Plus, Killingbeck Police Station is just up road. I think, when you’ve lived here, you get used to it. You’ve got to be a bit more aware and ‘tough’ than you would have to be in, say, Halton, but otherwise it’s sound. Got mates all over Leeds; Gipton, Swarcliffe, East End Park, Halton, Colton, Cross Gates and, honestly, it’s alreet. Only thing is Leeds is quite popular with smoking Weed, but it’s not the only city in the UK that does it. Unless you’ve actually lived here and not just ‘walked through’ or ‘visited’, you don’t actually know what it’s like. Not all Leeds folk are Chavs, and we’re not brutes either. We don’t take no bullshit, but who does? You be nice to us and we’ll be nice to you. Simple.
Its not fair I want to see a soliciter………right now …I no my rights
