Council Estate glory days were INSANE

Saw someone kicking a cornered fox one night many years ago. Had been out for a few and we noticed him, first thing in my mind was "a cornered fox is more dangerous than a jackal" picked up a brick on the floor and smashed the cunt over the head. Fucker dropped and my football hooligan mate jumped in and kicked the fuck out of him. Fucken deserved it, nasty cunt. Animals got no voice or rights.
This can also be read that you jumped in and helped kick the shit out the fox. 😂

Folk who bought their council homes at a discount back in the day are laughing at the rest of us now how much they went up in value

Most of these type of developments are being demolished now and are being replaced with new, much higher quality housing made from traditional materials that fit in with their surrounding areas, like this..

The get an e for effort. But lets face it the whole of London is awful, overpriced, cramped overpopulated and dirty

But for some unfortunate people they brought the house and the other side of the street remained council housing with it's typical inhabitants.

..So is every City on the Planet of similar size to London.

Nature of the beast.

..and London is far from being the worst, its quite pleasant compared to the likes of New York & Paris.

Still overpriced though.

They ship unemployed people from around the country to these council estates as well. The one I stayed in briefly had a lot of people from the south living there up north. There's a lot of housing around old coal mining villages.
Yeah ain't that some shit. Give the south all the economic support and infrastructure so that it flourishes and becomes a highly desirable place to live with the best jobs. Housing prices increase, it's too expensive to house the poor, unemployed and the new immigrants there so they 'have to' ship them north.

Question, what would be considered the ultimate council estate supercar? When I was young it was Escort XR3i's or Astra GTEs, then after they'd all been driven into the local off licence it was the Impreza and Evo, whilst today the Golf R or Audi A3 appears to be the wanker chariot of choice. The rise of EVs must present an interesting dilemma as well, since how are you supposed to impress 14 year old girls outside McDonalds when you can't fit a loud exhaust and drive everywhere in second gear?

This channel is hilarious for those who get it

I remember drinking in the middle of Liverpool in this communal square shared by a bunch of bars and restaurants.
Guy comes up and asks me for a light. I give him my lighter and instead of lighting a cigarette he sets fire to some little wrap of something, huffs it, gives me my lighter back and leaves.
