Is Bradford really the most dangerous city in the UK? Bradford is a city with a lot of potential, well known for its diversity. In fact, the people of Bradford are very nice and resilient. That has been the picture of this city which is also a local government district in West Yorkshire. This metropolitan borough covers a large area that includes the towns and villages of Bingley, Denholme, Haworth, Ilkley, Keighley, Queensbury, Shipley, Silsden, and Thornton. Its geographical location and population are encouraging enough to make it a good place to live. Its delicious food, impressive architecture, and exceptional friendliness are also nice things about this city.
Unfortunately, in many recent polls, Bradford has continued to be ranked as the most dangerous city in the UK. Despite how great this city can be, lingering memories of the 2001 race riots have changed its reputation. Since the outbreak of the three-day riot that led to deaths and hundreds of arrests, the country’s attention has been on how safe Bradford is compared to how safe it can be. Let us try and tell you what we know.
Why Hated
We can’t mention every reason for the complaint and hatred surrounding the name of this city. Yet, we may start with the poor nightlife in Bradford. You have to travel far to see any semblance of social life. Could it be that the people in Bradford are not comfortable with the heavy presence of druggies such that they come to an unspoken agreement not to support nightclubs?
Whatever! Drug addicts are there in this city brandishing their drugs and showing off in the posh cars that they bought with the proceeds of the illegal business. Because of an environment with the proliferation of drugs and those other social vices, you would expect the city to be dangerous, won’t you?
