Snitches get stitches

 

I saw it like may others but have no confidence whatsoever that anything would come of it. Shutting the road wouldn't be guarantee of no future problems but pretty much every incident i've seen over the years has been vehicles using Midland Road/Thorncliffe Road as a rat run to bypass the traffic lights and shutting the road as Loyal says would stop this.

 

The council would then ban all parking on Midland Road.

 

Hang on, so you want the police to do something about it but you don't want to report it despite having a description of the people and the car and now the car registration.

If something happens again you're complicit. Doesn't take much to tell them what you know. Next time it could be you (or worse) getting knocked over.

 

I'm happy with my decision. But thanks for your concern.

 

Let's not bother then.

 

The Council also need to get to grips with the parking on pavement on Manningham Lane. Fans have to walk on the road to get round. I complained last year, I received an insipid reply, along the lines that parking attendants will book anybody who is found parking on the pavement!

 

Went to the tip on Midland Road this afternoon, and two 'local' lunatics must have been doing 70 mph as they tore up from the Queens Road end towards Valley Parade. I know there were no pedestrians walking up, but absolutely insane bit of driving.

 

Somebody pointed out the car was parked up 'locally'.

 

We all know they’re local youths. ‘Locals’
implies something else.

We can pretend something else if you want, and I’ll just go back to being a snowflake or something.

 

Of course it does.

 

There are locals and then there are locals

 

Good lad. Let the faux rage out.

 

I’m not outraged. But we can pretend I am if it makes you feel better.

 

I wasn’t questioning the standard of driving. There’s nothing to debate there IMO.

 

I drive that road pretty much every day, its literally just a free for all. Park wherever you want and drive however you want.

 

You’ve got the wrong end of the stick, I’m not questioning the use of the word, why the fck would I?

And btw, if you want to see faux outrage, take a look at this thread..Terrorism, attempted murder, lobbing bricks, lol..But nobody wants to report it, because you know, nobody wants to be that guy..It’s a fcking joke, people like to get on their high horse on social media, but do fck all about it..It’s just some young morons thinking they’re hard men, it happens, and the football community certainly isn’t immune either.

 

He who's looking for racism will find racism, even in places where most wouldn't think to look. I personally used the term 'Leeds road drivers", in some eyes i'm probably a racist. All depends what the agenda is.

 

Even if this was true, what’s the link between race-fueled, unlawful behavior taking place in public and racist remarks being made on here? I’m not getting it. Are you trying to suggest that because there are incidents of higher magnitude taking place elsewhere then we should completely ignore @Idlebantam’s comments? Well given the platform we’re posting that’s highly unlikely. He made his remarks on here, and he’s rightly being questioned on them. Horrific driving in and around the Manningham area does nothing to change that.

 

No. Seeing horrific driving on a daily basis and describing them as “Asian” doesn’t make you racist. That’s not what you said though is it? Perhaps you can explain why the Asian drivers you’re referring to aren’t local enough for you?
