Question from an American - what are considered the roughest areas in Britain?

I've always wondered. What are the top three? Are they breeding grounds for famous British boxers?

moss side - manchester
east end of glasgow
south london
everywhere in liverpool

I lived in Salford for a year whilst at Uni and that's very rough. Parts of Manchester are also quite dicey. I've heard bad things about Moss Side, but there are a number of areas that you might think twice about. It's all very grim up there really!

I suppose a number of boxers have come from around those parts. Hatton being the most obvious.

London is full of rough areas but being the capital that has to be expected. Obviously loads of famous fighters have come from here

Most major towns and cities have rough areas.
some of the most famous are moss side in manchester as has been mentioned. Glasgow. St pauls in Bristol. lots of places in london, particually south east - new cross, lewisham etc. Parts of Nottingham. Sheffield did have a bad rep but has got a lot better.
Oh by the way Miles my friend went to uni in Salford. Salford uni not manc uni.

So is it gangs?

Saw a thing on it the other day, they have began here in the outer Sydney suburbs bored kids looking for the adrenaline rush of getting or giving a group beating.

In Melbourne we have weakaassed teens that target mostly Indian students and indian tourists to beat and rob as they are soft targets.
Many vietnamese and some Chinese lads run some of the herion around and they will fuk over anyone who threatens them, except for our bikers who run all the ampetaimines.
We have young gangs here but they stick to there own drains in there own areas the little rats. we get alot of train violence from these types if they move around.

I think the older more set up gangs that run just for illeagal money drugs and power should go and recruit them or rub them out before they get too big themselves;cause the cops havent got a real handle on any of them at all.

In truth everywhere has bad areas, obviously the major citys have got bigger areas.

Manchester is pretty bad in certain area's Salfords not that bad really, depends on which area of Salford, South Manchester Gorton,Longsight there rough as bears arses.

London The city is the Roughest ;D

haha it's a shit hole! :p

Pompey used to be a nice place then ICB moved down here and its turned to dogshit. Stabbings and random chess tourneys taking place in the middle of town each night.

Coppers don't know what to do

I only understood every third word or so and I know nothing about Clacton but that was funny as hell.

This morning going to the track, there was murder going on. A Big Hole appeared in the road 50ft deep, when I left the Police were looking into it ;D
