It's Official, Luton is a Sh*t H*le!

This is the economic mess we live in, councils are seeing budgets squeezed and they need to cut the cloth accordingly, once before in town i saw a council van and there was 3 council workers, 1 watering flowers, 1 having a homosexual and 1 eating a sarnie,  surely 1 person could water flowers?, as much i hate our council to be fair to them i do see litter pickers in town picking up litter

They could have taken those photos in and around Grimsby/Cleethorpes: don't let's pretend our home town is perfect.

Your joking! that high street picture looks more like downtown Delhi.

I love a lively debate: seems my comment has hit a few nerves on here.

Must be some stAlbans private school boy who wrote the article.
Luton is a dump yes, but there are areas with houses way over half million mark. You also have rough areas like your Immingham equivalents. But doesn't all towns?
I myself come from Islington London, a dump until the late 80s suddenly it become trendy to move there, just like Hoxton, Dalston now in neighbouring boroughs.

The town centre is just an average English town centre, that could be anywhere in the UK.

There are lots of worse places in the UK, Burnley, Preston, Oldham, Blackpool, Barnsley, Barnstaple, Swindon, Grimsby (although i like it. But i then again i prefer going to Detroit than NY) lots of towns.

The crime is nowhere near as bad as Nottingham (stab city) Or Liverpool (theft city). Etc.


Not a Lutonian myself but think they need to jump on a train around the country instead of the lazy journalism!

i wonder what the town would of looked like 40 years ago? probably nice,clean and relatively civilised.
its not just a coincidence when you watch t.v. shows like "the food inspectors" and see 99.9% of these shi.hole "restaurants" are owned and run by dodgy foreign types.
there is dirty verminous people in this town of course, but these foreign immigrants bring the kind of standards they had back "home" with them, its an un-p.c. home truth,every major city and town in england now is just a filthy ghetto.

What was England like before the Second World War? I think you'll find it was pretty grotty, in fact can you think of a time in history when England was as clean as a whistle?

imagine this..............people used to sweep up and wash their own house fronts!!! they didn't whine that the council didn't do it,it was called pride, pride in your appearance,pride in your house,pride in your street.......................but most importantly pride in your country. now tell me what do YOU feel proud about to be British? we go around as Americas lapdog getting involved in all sorts of wars,we stick our beaks in everyone's business,we let our old people die for fear of turning the heating on,we send aid to countries that have a poor human rights record,we care more about what other nations think to the detriment of our own people,our football team is a joke,and we are the "mugs" of the world...........apart from this everything is fine...................keep plodding on drones.

Just go to the fishing heritage centre if you want to know what Grimsby was like. Infact, just go to Freeman Street and see what it's still like.

Freeman street is great,real pubs instead of urine-lager chain outlets populated by chavs looking for a fight, this is a tough hard drinking run down ex fishing community,but the people on the whole are friendly and genuine,try spending some time in london where everyone wants to fuc. each other up the ars. or rob you blind

So are you saying British people no longer take pride because of a foreign influx in britains population and our countries international policy?
