It's awful. Last time i was there about 3 months there was two scumbags fighting outside of McDonald's at around 1 in the afternoon. I won't be visiting again. Ever.
Agreed with this, when I lived in Boro I never really looked at it twice, but since moving away it’s blindingly obvious how ran down and awful it is. Try to avoid the town centre like the plague.It's been like that for at least 15 years now.
Those who live outside of Middlesbrough can see it more obviously than those who live in it.
People’s lack of respect and regard for others transcends politics, it’s been a slow social decline for forty years,I come from a slum era background and council estate but would not be allowed to behave the way some do now. It’s just the way society is now, the entitled attitude is the pervading one. There are no excuses for bad manners and ignorant behaviour but people don’t know any better because they’ve never been taught the difference.Tory Britain. You can't say we weren't warned.
Aye , since the hag Thatcher turned up and declared there was “No such thing as SOCIETY”!!People’s lack of respect and regard for others transcends politics, it’s been a slow social decline for forty years,I come from a slum era background and council estate but would not be allowed to behave the way some do now.

No time for the woman but don’t blame any politician for personal responsibility, What I’ve learned over the years is the world owes no one a living, We should take care of the vulnerable, the sick and the elderly, the rest of us take our chances. Manners cost nothing.Aye , since the hag Thatcher turned up and declared there was “No such thing as SOCIETY”!!
Forty years is about right. The time the country rejected the post war march towards a more civilised nation and chose Thatcher and neo Liberalism.People’s lack of respect and regard for others transcends politics, it’s been a slow social decline for forty years,I come from a slum era background and council estate but would not be allowed to behave the way some do now.

What has that got to do with personal responsibility, don’t make political capital out of bad behaviour and poor or nonparenting. You could give some people a grand a week and they’d still behave the same way. I lived through the thatchers years, her election was my first vote, it didn’t make me rude, loutish and thick. Do you think the working class have to be spoon fed.Forty years is about right. The time the country rejected the post war march towards a more civilised nation and chose Thatcher and neo Liberalism.
You have Better views.it's no different in bournemouth
Vote ToryWhen in town I always comment that Middlesbrough's finest are out in force today.
Lots of issues at play here:
Mental health
Immigration
Substance abuse
Homelessness
I wouldn't know where to start to put all of that right. Money would help.
I think Middlesbrough is worse for this sort of thing than many towns around the country. It's the sort of thing that help the town cement it's place in the top ten of all those bad league tables!You were unlucky,time and place.Happens in any town centre. Middlesbrough is no different to any other place
TBF Bell and Blair did a big fat zero for us as well.Tory Britain. You can't say we weren't warned.
