filthy area,s populated by foreigners in leeds

[goldenbolls]

i was in leeds recently looking for a house to rent, i was shocked to see the state of some of the areas there, in armley it is absolutely filthy and horrible, the pakistani,s / arabs have all theyre washing over the road on cables similar to telephone lines,because all i see is burka,s and white cloak things worn by the men. i mean why doesnt the councils reprimand them or bring court orders against these people who are ruining our streets instead of penalising their own people for not putting the right rubbish in the right waste bin ? ive seen other big cities and ive seen similar districts run down and it seems to me that it is foreigners who are residing there probably the odd british junkie or two but mostly arabs/pakistani,s , romanians. am i really so wrong in my views here ? i cant tell lies i only see what i see with my own eyes. i am not racist and i do not see chinese communities or black communities like this. i am originally from belfast and we never had this problem untill romanians moved here into a certain area and within a year it was wrecked and filthy. we have loads of black people and indians , chinese but generally we dont have a problem and we are happy to live side by side and get on well and integrate with our foreign neigbours in belfast.(although polish people do not integrate with us for some reason i dont know)

this country really needs to waken up.FAST !!! oh s**t im going to be banned ;-(

just phoned a friend who lives near leeds and he has seen washing out the problem is the style of houses

if you have a look round on this link the houses are back to back so where are people supposed to hang thier washing as they have no backyard or garden

*if you have a look round on this link the houses are back to back so where are people supposed to hang thier washing as they have no backyard or garden *

so true drf..... i lived in beeston years ago...... lots of back to back houses, mine included..... there was a yard at the end of the street with toilets and a washing line... all of about 20ft of it..... for the use of maybe 15 houses

*I have an idea just a tiny one mind that the OP is a little bit racist!! *

yep

[goldenbolls]

helen hardly a racist when when im encourage interaction and social harmony with black / chinese and indian people in belfast, not forgetting our own nationalist and loyalist communities.

its you who is talking b/s

[DrFilth]

to be honest Safiya i did not know that any back to back were still standing

the last ones i can think of in manchester were just off wilmslow road between clarmont road and moor street to access these houses you had to go down a little ginnel

these were pulled down around 1969-1970 ish


there maybe others but i honestly can't think of any

[Safiya]

*im encourage interaction and social harmony *

what by whining about washing out and what people choose to wear.....

[NOX]

If goldenballs is in charge of social harmony in Belfast maybe that's why we're all quite happy to shoot each other in face... ever thought of a change of career balls?

[goldenbolls]

think you need to take the bolls out of your mouth nox, "your/ we,re all quite happy people shooting each other in the face" but im not !!!

[ichkeria]

*im encourage interaction and social harmony *

"wash your dishdashes and burka,s and put them on a proper washing line ( not over the street ) throw your rubbish out but put it into a proper bin , these people are in the uk not bloody karachi."

Are you also a comedian?

[Safiya]

this was in the mid 80's drf...... no idea if they are still there or not..... im gonna google and see just out of curiosity

[Safiya]
