The Shocking Truth About Living in Bradford

[@xanderthomson6960]

Interesting video… I was born and bred in Bradford but have been lucky enough to have lived and worked in many places across the UK and the world. Unfortunately, I always find myself back in Bradford and as far as I’m concerned, it’s a dire and miserable place to survive. I’m often embarrassed to tell people I’m from Bradford.

[@Mark70609]

Just don’t go back.

[@angelafeather1301]

Bradford is a blocked U bend. I have lived here all my life and it was lovely, but society of today with lack of manners and respect for others has ruined this city.😢😢

[@ibrahimthegoat]

‘Lack of respect’ yh that is what is the most important thing needed in our society not the fact there is a knife crime epidemic high crime rates and loads of gun and drugs no the main issue is ‘manners and respect’

Try coming into the town centre on a night Friday or Saturday night.boy racers...drug dealing on streets....fighting in the streets....for a good night out......GO TO LEEDS

[@jaeleighxxx7829]

Bradford has a lot to offer, it's sad that there has been a racial divide there, and I do recall the riots that happened as I'm only one city over. I love the houses in Bradford, so many gorgeous stone properties and the shopping whilst not as good as here in Leeds (C'mon I have to say that) , it's still worth going for. I spent a LOT of time ice skating and shopping there over the years. Like any city it has high crime, but it also has a lot going for it. As you enter Bradford from the Pudsey side you definitely notice a change in area with a lot of curry houses and other Asian shops, so much to go check out, it's like a piece of India/Pakistan shopping without the travel costs and the curries are the best.

[@xanderthomson6960]

@@kwofieandoh6178you’ll be absolutely fine as long as you’re sensible. Places to try avoid at night; city centre, Barkerend, Broomfields, East Bowling, Allerton, Tong, Buttershaw, Eccleshill - just do what you need to do during the day and stay home at night. Great Horton Road is also definitely a place to avoid at night as well as the area around Grattan Road.

@@danshaw3239 Subways coffee is alright tho. Even Costa near kirkgate has some nice coffee too, bit pricey though

[@danshaw3239]

@@SuhailKhan-gv9mn Thank you for this- I should have written independent coffee as small businesses are what makes the soul of a city. Costa and the others like that are just major corporate blandnesses that you get everywhere. Cafe lisa is the best but that's not in the city centre and it's a fair trek to the college entrance. Maybe look into an independent coffee/danishbrunch cafe in the centre! £3.50 flat white with oat milk £1.50 danish and £10.00 brunch. What do you think?

[@SuhailKhan-gv9mn]

@@danshaw3239 Oh cafe liza! Yes imo it's probably one of the best independent businesses in Bradford, its quite small and quaint though, not very open to the public eye however its quite exceptional nonetheless. And personally I don't think it's too far from the city centre from my walks there, if by city centre you mean the city park, if you know where you're going it shouldn't take you longer than 10 minutes to get there so long as you're "briskly" walking lol. I've been to cafe liza only a few times though, however my go to drinks would be either the cappuccinos or pineapple and honey ice cream cocktails with a smoked cheese jalapeño and sundried tomato panini, excellent combination I'd say.

[@navnavo1414]

Bradford city centre is like many others in the UK with closed shops loads of off licences, the beggars mostly made up of cider drinking shop lifting alcoholics and druggies. The surrounding areas to the centre where asian migrants settled have a thriving foodie scene mostly vibrant in the evenings and ofcourse the crazy bad driving from smart whip sucking balloon heads, that said like most of the UK the drugs trade, scams, and fraudelant activity are prevalent here but the worst issue of this city is the division, too much racism from within, the outskirts of Bingley saltaire denholme baildon etc you'll find much more affluent. The islamophobia and racism is obvious reason this city has a bad rep. But for young hard working second geno muslim man this is a great city we have the obvious cons that exist everywhere but the pros are halal food and mosques on every corner and cheap houses in affluent areas following white flight in the areas of heaton have less riffraf i.e rest of central bradford is like working class mixed with chav sink estate people thus lack of investment and poorly run clowncil creating a massive shthole.

[@claretblue2509]

Talking about victimising Muslims and ethnic groups. When stats show they ARE the problem. It’s unlikely these groups are victims of racism when they make up 70% of the population.

Diversity equal higher crime rates.

[@SuhailKhan-gv9mn]

Diversity in terms of people of other colour is great, but when it comes to races acting as if they have a superiority over one another, that's the problem, as a community (meaning everyone!) Just come together, talk about stuff, be human, if there's crime, settle it amongst one another in a civil manner

I love Bradford itself, but Bradford city centre is a strange place now, full of groups of alcoholics and the mentally ill drinking and arguing all day and night. There are more phone shops than any city centre could reasonably know what to do with, and no shops open at all after 8pm anytime even during xmas shopping. Bradford's time will come again, but for now all the moneys being spent making leeds the more cosmopolitan place.

[@ibrahimthegoat]

Stores do b open past 8 u shouldn’t be leaving the house at that time unless for joy rides or u gotta get something but don’t be going around town if not outside around the city centre u will come across weirdos either dr*ggies alcoholics or dealers
