Most liked posts in thread: Bradford on duty BBC2

It's a bit like that Fawlty Towers quote isn't it?

“Well may I ask what you expected to see *on a programme about Bradford*? Sydney Opera House perhaps? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the plain....."

 

I watched it earlier. It is a hard watch. Unfortunately it is not a surprise to me, I have seen it many times. Our fellow citizens living in squalor and loneliness and very poor health. The nursing staff are absolute hero’s and the Police.

It’s when fellow Bradfordians poor scorn on our city, now that really hurts it just feels like literally nobody cares for the City. I know why they do it, it is to cover the shame they feel. We have nothing to feel shame or guilt, but anger yes. The politicians need to do much better. What did alarm me was when she said the more well off areas will have to do with less so it can be targeted at the inner city. Great then we will have poor health care everywhere!

They do need to make a special case for the City of Bradford. All shades of politicians have let this city down badly.
I will watch the rest of it.

 

What was @Bronco doing on there?

 

Brilliantly argued.

 

Oh I must have touched a nerve there eh pal? Its not me you should be angry at its the party you support but have nothing but disdain for the likes of you.

 

Its funny after he 'liked' this ironic post from @bantamlad92

 

Didnt see it all, but the bits I did see showed Bradford up as looking really rough and depressing with some oddball characters.

 

Got it saved to watch later

 

Might watch it if you recommend it. I was thinking a documentary on the style of Rita Sue and Bob too

 

I quite enjoyed it, nurses were great.
Loved the comments from the old lad in Silsden about the police.
It did like to show streets full of terrace houses and every City shot seemed to have the smoking chimney at the bottom of Wakefield Rd in it.

 

Should those poor sods who were finding life hard tighten their purse strings in this non existent cost of living crisis you deny exists?

How did you feel about being reminded about the tory abandonment of bradford and further lies by rishi sunak and co who on record said we would get our investment in transport?

 

Sums Bradford up pretty well.

 

Watching the show kinda showed what I see as the true Bradford. A place with very little going for it.
