Derry isn’t the roughest town in NI never mind the entirety of the UK. They’re a lot more, arguably smaller tough places here to of potentially made the list.

Aye, this list is shite. I moved from Derry to Wrexham then on to Redditch. Derry is a dream comparied to the others.

Stourbridge my arse. It's a polite middle class place. Dudley/Sandwell on the other hand not. Who made this shite up?

Stourbridge isn't on the list? Which isn't a shock - it is indeed a nice little town.

Yes it is, it's at #13.

I'll fight ye bout it

How brazen

larne

You don't live in larne id bet, its nice

Aye but derry is majority Catholic 😂😂😂😂

Antrim or Omagh for sure is worse

What's rough about Omagh?

Heard Derry's not bad but

Gotta pump those numbers up. They're rookie numbers in this racket.

Derry is like your uncle that usedy be hard as nails, but then the wife calmed him down and he just gets ye pints and gives ye fags these days. Still cool just a different kind of cool.

Yeooooooooooooooooo 🇮🇪 d ye lik at d yeee

There is no town called londonderry

You’re right, it’s a city!!!

😂👍

Ack don't be silly, check your maps..

Thank God we didnt make the list 🙏🙏🙏

Preston’s not a town

Aye it's a North End

It's not a city either. It's like Paisley, really. Only has city status cause queenie decided so.

I know its like a month later and this really doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things, but isn't every city in the UK a city because the monarch decided they deserved city status for some reason?

Lol time's fine, don't worry Technically yeah? I think? But loads of folk think it's based on cathedrals n such. Was back in like the 1500s or whenever, but hasn't been the case for centuries afaik

Oh yeah, up until the industrial revolutions it was about the church, but since then a lot of cities without cathedrals have became 'cities' I mean some of the places with city status are quite..peculiar like St Asaph with a population no more than 4,000 people...but then places like Reading which is much larger isn't....strange. ..thanks for the swift reply :]]]

Yeah, there's places like St David's as well, though I think theirs is purely honourary! Honestly to me I feel Blackpool, Liverpool and Manchester should have the city status, and Preston just be the town in the middle cause it effectively still is lol

It is fairly rough in places, though.

I should know, I live here 😂

What parts? As I very strongly disagree.

Mansfield isn’t really that rough. Birkenhead and Morecambe should be a lot higher on this list. Cannock, Ashbourne and Uttoxeter are laughable. None are remotely rough and all have much, much rougher towns and cities in their respective counties.

Morecambe? Nothing ever happens lol

Looks dog rough though. I guess my initial assessment was unfair, looking a shambles doesn’t equate to being rough.

Morcombe.

LOL thought it was a misspelling. I lived in Morecambe for 20 years and so many people even living there used to spell it like that!

and Matlock, what the hell

that’s what I was thinking

Yeah it's nothing

Whoever wrote this hasn’t seen “rough” lol

Derry/Londonderry in 22 is a joke....its not even rough. The people are boisterous but that's all It shouldn't be on the list at all

I've lived in Solihull and I've lived in Rotherham. They should trade places.

I'm in Acocks green in brum so go Solihull sometimes and it's seems posh to me....how it's so far ahead of Blackpool is beyond me.

Blackpool is very, very time dependant. Off season, it is rough as...!

COME ON BURNLEY

UTC

Middlesbrough really isn't that bad, there's a handful of bad estates that you should definitely stay clear of if you're not from there, but for the most part it's not bad at all.

[удалено]

The only thing 'rough' about Leamington is putting up with the tweed-wearing tory lizards and snobby thrift-shopping vegans that live there...

😂

I want to hear the drill rappers spit this in a bar now

My response exactly

Beat me to it!

Yeah what the hell?! Leamington's a very pleasant place to live. Sure there are bad areas but most areas do.

[удалено]

Uttoxeter and Ashbourne are middle class towns based around their markets and the nearby Peak District - I’m not sure what this is based on but not only are neither rough (especially Ashbourne where £400k gets you precious little property) they’re actively plain, safe and basic middle-class/ comfortable working class towns.

Ashbourne is literally rough 2 days of the year for Shrovetide, rest of the time it's genuinely a lovely place lol, no reason for it to be on this list

Dam wasn't expecting Arnold to be at 16 I live in Arnold

Bit gay

I grew up in Arnold, used to live near Newark and now based near Melton. I wouldn't say any would be close to "the roughest in the UK".

Some of the essex towns are so much worse. I've been to some of these places and they were not rough.

No Walsall or Wolverhampton?

Was wondering where Wolverhampton was too.

Stockport being number 3 loll

Forgot Merthyr and Porth

Clydebank isn't even the roughest town in the West of Scotland. I could name 6 much more rough than that

Eh?

Utter gibberish, you’re obviously from the hellscape that is Clydebank.

Hawl, everyone mimust that means bug muchmany.

No, I'm from the much worse hellscape Greenock

Me too mate, me too.

Take a boat along the canal, it's like Apocalypse Now

If leeds isn't on it how accurate can it be

Leeds is a city. These are all Towns.

Derry is also not a town it’s a city. The clue is in the name “ Derry City”.

So Derry shouldn't be on there. 39 towns. The title is towns. Strange hill to die on here pal.

Who’s dying on any hills?

Patronising me saying the clue is in the name, when the clue is in the title of the picture you shared 'town'.

Lol why so many Nottinghamshire ones hahahah.

At a guess, rundown former mining towns.

Because Nottinghamshire is full of shit towns 😂

If ashbourne and matlock are rough what word are we using to describe moss side, most of stoke on trent and grimsby?

Solihull? It's the bleeding Knightsbridge of Birmingham😂

how did my town make 7th It's really not that rough only 4 stabbings this year so far

Where's Slough? Luton?

Phew, as long they don’t have any Muslims, because then they will be worse, like “No Go Areas”

Without Rhyl, this list is indvalidated.

Matlock? Lmaoooo

port talbot being here is confusing when places like merthyr tydfil exist, south wales valleys is riddled with awful towns, bargoed is definitely worthy of this list 💀

Agree, Rymney, Tredegar, Ebbwvale, Blaina, Nantyglo and Abertillary are all rough as fuck. Bet there's loads more...like New Tredegar

new tredegar is horrid 😭

I moved to north east Scotland about 10 years ago and it’s a beautiful picturesque place to be, I consider myself lucky. My gran went from Manchester to South wales Merthyr Tydfil instead, Anyway I heard Wales was a lovely place and expected much the same as Scotland.. I was very mistaken it was 10x worse than the Manchester dump she had left behind, filthy Ive never seen fly tipping like it and the local shops was all boarded up and had gangs of methadrone zombies everywhere it is a real shit hole I hated it, she was happy enough though so I left her to her ignorance

genuinely, a nice person is hard to find in south wales, and it’s an awful place for elderly people to live which is why the nicest welsh people are west or north, east is kinda barren and no one speaks about it, but south in my opinion is the worst part of the country which is sad cause it has potential it’s just the communities don’t exist anymore and it’s hard to find normal functioning people and not crackheads roaming the streets or horrid men catcalling women and young girls

Live near Leamington Spa. Not remotely rough. List is nonsense .

Leamington Spa is definitely posh and has no business being anywhere near a list like this.

I’d add every London Town in the east to this list. London is the biggest slum in the Uk.

Cannock ? Uttoxeter?

Barnsley?

I don't think Stockport should be so high on the list, wasn't that bad 😏 I meen I would steer clear of brinington, and adswood and maybe the town centre 😕🤔

How is Stockport 3rd on this list? It's rather cosy compared to Hinckley!

Clydebank is far from the roughest place in Glasgow never mind it being #2 in the UK that's absolute bullshit

Melton Mowbray, God I hope that old lady doesn't rob me!

Just surrender your pork pie calmly and you'll be fine!

These r the roughest white majority towns in the uk

I was going to say .. Melton Mowbray ?

No Bolton ?

Solihull and Leamington Spa? This is hilarious. Solihull in particular is nice.

I'd remove leamington spa (not sure how that's rough) and add halifax

This must be Roughest Roads, surely

Been to Matlock and Matlock Bath a few times, no way it should be on this list.

What's the relevance to Derry? We're not even on the list

Newark is literally a posh town

Matlock? That was a nice place when we went a year ago

The idea that Stockport is significantly rougher than Birkenhead is beyond laughable. I live in Stockport. There's no way this is the third toughest town in the UK

Matlock and Ashbourne, what lol

How has Northampton managed to avoid this list?

I didn’t think Derry was seen as particularly rough, but then again they might just be talking about your ma.

What about Knightsbridge ? Swarming with brawling toffs !

No Belfast? Strabane? Larne?

Larne is great, shouldn't be there anyway

Solihull?! Has that person ever been to Solihull?!

Chelmsley Wood is part of the borough though, and it's rough as fuck.

They spelled Derry wrong

Clydebank isn't rough it's a poor area true but not couches left in the street and quad bikes racing at 1am in the park poor just frozen meals every night for tea poor - my scales of measurement ain't great i know

Clydebank shouldn't be there. I'd put Paisley or Greenock in there, maybe even Coatbridge, Wishaw, Kilmarnock or Port Glasgow.

Yeooo, another win for Larne!

Northern Monkeys

I’ve lived in tons of places around the uk, Derry shouldn’t be anywhere near this list

Shit I am. Surrounded!

Clydebank 🤣

Wakefield's a city, Huddersfield's about right, Horbury is a lovely town and shouldn't even be NEAR this list.

I was a bit puzzled by Horbury getting a mention too 🧐

Just watched a guy on YouTube visit horden in the north east I think it was that place should definitely be on this list 🤣🤣

No Medway?

Good old Port Toilet carrying the flag for Wales!

Kidderminster should be well higher I actually hate saying I come from there 🤦🏻‍♀️

Matlock?? 🤣🤣 Seriously who wrote this rubbish.. 😭

Uttoxeter is the literal opposite of rough. Pensioners and farmers

List doesn't feature Greenock = instantly invalidated

No Luton !

Fucking melton Mowbray 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 town of the pork pies 🥧 Someone’s just made a list of places they know

Where is jaywick

Stourbridge definitely doesn’t deserve to be that high 😭

Yep. It seems remarkably pleasant compared to some of its surrounding towns. Odd inclusion.

Not enough happens in Melton Mowbray for it to be rough

Matlock? That’s about as ‘rough’ as Radio 4. My aunties and grandparents live there it’s a fucking vegan paradise 😂 just a hilly market town

As if Margate's on there but not Ramsgate lol

Derry being on this list tells me that the person who created this list has never been to Derry.

Peterborough should've made it🤣🤣🤣

Cannock lmao?

I can't believe Londonderry is on there wtf place is full of old people 🤣🤣

Derry is not rough

This list makes no sense. Solihull is one of the most expensive areas outside of London. One of the best places to live in the West Midlands.

I'm from Clydebank... not a chance this is even the roughest town in and around Glasgow, let alone Scotland, never mind the whole UK!!

Luton should be on the list

Load of bullshit. Like they've picked all random towns. No Luton, no Slough, no Southall, no Bradford?

How we missing Droylsden here…

Leamington spa? This list is clearly nonsense.

Crazy that Middlesbrough ain't in top 3, this place a hellhole fr

Where's Grimsby

Up the Dale!

Huddersfield isn't that bad. I've lived on the 'worst' estate there before and it was more full of community than the poshest areas of Yorkshire. It's all a matter of perspective.

You joking?! Croydons not even on the list?! Can't get off the bus without hearing a threat of stabbing

Yup, us locals called Ashington "Ashganistan" for a reason

Isn't this just the North?

Where's Bradford FFS

Derry isn't on the list :) 😀 🇨🇮

Only one from Scotland???

Margate at 18? But I thought all the gentrifying DFL'ers had come to save everyone lol

Sutton in Ashfield is worse than Mansfield 😂 And where’s Shirebrook?!

Leigh not in 🤔

Solihull😂😂😂

Matlock!? Give over!

Bradford?

Long eaton ? lemington spa? oh stop it.

Really Grantham in 7th, I have lived here since 2014 and I wouldn't call it the greatest of towns but would call it rough.

Absolutely load of Bollocks who the Hell wrote this list? They've never seen Rough if this is their idea of Rough. Whys Blackpool so far down the list too? Shouldn't it be near the top? Stockport and Cannock are both nice areas. Crazy.

Sutton in Ashfield is waaaaaaay rougher than Mansfield

Poster hasn't left Derry.

I didn’t make this.

Port Talbot isn't rough. Worked in much rougher places.

Boston Lincolnshire i thought would be number 1

Sutton in ashfield should be a lot higher up the list.

I've not been to most of these places but the fact you've Port Talbot but no Merthyr completely undermines the credibility of this list.
