lol actualy Hull has had a lot of money spent on it, its not too bad

It still has its rough (very) places and still has some deranged residents. I have had two nights out there recently and never had a problem or any fear of being attacked.

Hull & Luton were both shut to visitors on the days of the review due to a culture leak.

Many thought Presclot would become a tourist attraction...or a mini roundabout.

I have to agree. It's a sthole.

I live up the tracks from Wolvo. The place is run by Gangsta wannabe ethnic minorities.

I've never been to Mogasishu but I'm pretty sure it is worse than Wolverhampton and LA.

ETA I bet most of the votes from Wolverhampton came from people living in Coventry.

Luton? Never mind Luton. Wolverhampton is fifth worst place in the WORLD. Of all the hellholes in all the world, Wolverhampton is in the top five!

Harsh. But entirely fair, IME.
