proudbeinenglish _WRITES "Well i've never been so scared in all my life, to say being a visitor in this town from Yorkshire to watch the rugby and feel threatoned would be an undestatement. Stones being thrown by children at OAP's, 14 year old chavettes with 3 kids running a mock near the town centre, went to a pub called '' the leigh arms '' JESUS CHRIST, a thousand chavs (under 15) drinking stella , i had my 7 year old daughter with me , a pint glass missed her head by an inch as we got caught in the cross fire of an argument over a cigerette lighter, as we left riot vans were streaming past us.... for the fight in the pub we think. Perhaps not only a good 150 mass brawl in the bus station ( 150 a bit exagerative) bricks flyin left right and centre as onlookers alike joined in. We decided not to walk to the stadium ( in the middle of the scruffiest estate ever ) and to get a taxi from avacab ... AVACRASH more like , our taxi driver was border line 16 and driving a PINK cab yes PINK chavette style, nevertheless we proceded into the taxi and got to the ground safely. Thank god we got there OK. Only to be approached by two drunken chavs outside the ground asking for 10 pence to use a pay phone we ignored their question, BIG MISTAKE, glass bottles and coins were thrown at us ( they needed 10 pence for the phone yet threw 67p at us ) are these remedials for real? as we entered the ground the smell ov cannabis overcame me i could possibly say i watched the game '' stoned '' and my daughter was giggling she must of been '' wrecked '' as they say. needless to say the safety stewards were turning a blind eye. not a police officer in site as the foul mouthed leigh crowd started on the referee and opposing players yet more objects thrown on the pitch and at players by more than a '' few '' . half time arrived and i was pleasntly surprised not to get mugged as i went to the beautiful toilet facilities and had to stand next to a cigerette wielding 8 year old with his hands down his trackies . Why ?. After the game finished thank god the coaches are parked just outside the ground. we got on and was met by a barrage of abuse, swear words and more objects being thrown. To say its grim up north is fine but Leigh has to be the worst place i've ever visited in my life, it was the first and will certainly be the last time i visit this disgraceful town. You should be ahsamed of yourselves thank god i live in halifax and not lively leigh GOD HELO THE CIVILISED LOCALS. Not that we met many . LEIGH IS A SHIT HOLE !"

boffybloke _WRITES "I lived in South London for 20 years before moving to the suburbs and then further away from London as time passed. I lived in council housing for a few years - The Arndale Estate in Wandsworth for those who know it - but now live in an Idyllic yet not a 'Utopian' city / town with the ocean just over the top right of my monitor as I look out for inspiration. Hint its not Southend!
As an ex-pat I regularly watch BBC / Sky news to keep in touch as I still have family and friends in the Uk and now feel ashamed of being British. The last time I remember feeling pride in 1977 when the Silver Jubilee meant street parties, in the early 80's when the Falklands Taskforce returned, I felt robbed in 1990 when England were knocked out of The World Cup, and joy when they won The Ashes and Rugby World Cup. But now I look back at the country of my, my children's birth feeling ashamed - areas where I once considered I would remain for life, I have watched as scum have moved in, multiplied, and turned once thriving and VERY neighbourly places into 'No-GO Zones'. I have seen the elderly being ridculed and abused by so-called chavs, and yes I did get involved after all it was my job to !!!
So how pissed off with the UK am I?? Well although purely ceromonial, I have done what I thought I would never do, I have not re-newed my passport. The British Passport a once mighty document, it opened doors (literally it was that sturdy), you only had to show the front of it to get into Britain after returning from overseas. I am currently without a passport - I am waiting on my Citizenship for my chosen country !
This year we have seen over 20 young people knifed to death in London alone, teenage pregnancy, drinking, smoking, and poor literacy skills at an all time high. Tv programmes - Catherine Tate's bov'vered, Little Britains yeah but no but....make a joke out it but it like a cancer....its spreading not only within the Uk but now unfortunately to a place near where I live.
Its known locally as Little Britain not by the Brits !! There is a big store, chip shop, kids hang outside smoking and abusing passersby. They wear hoodies baseball caps, jeans, have shit jewellery and for God knows why, many families from the UK seem to graviate towards it.
I actually heard the parent of one 'local' kid who put his hood up be told "Take yer hood off you look like a Pom !!"
A message for the UK - sort yourselves out........its time to stand up and say "Enough is Enough!" reclaim the streets from the shit. With regards to 'here' - I am doing my bit to reclaim the streets - trust me !!!
I do not want my kids to grow up in a place that tolerates Chavs....we moved our kids out of the UK for this very reason. I can guarentee that we will not have to put up with it here.
