I lived there for three years.

Basically the white people almost obsessively talk about the trouble with Asians.

As for the Asians I don't know because I don't speak pooinloo.

But due to the massive migration only the poor filth live in leicester city itself. All the decent people moved to the villages that surrounded it.

This is incorrect. Villages are full of rich people because they gtfo'd from London. House prices in villages (ones with plenty of nice old houses at least) have gone fucking mental in the past 20 years.

Rural constituencies vote Conservative who have won the majority of elections over the past 50 years.

Pic related is the electoral result in Leicestershire this year. Blue (Conservatives) won a majority in parliament.

LE5 here and yeah they're alright in some places. But never go to Beaumont Leys. Under any circumstances. If your choices are going there and drowning in a big vat of runny curry shits, choose to drown.

Don't listen to shite about asians, I've had much more bother (lived here 30+ years now) with white people than anyone else. Not saying others don't cause trouble but like, I only clench my kidneys in case of getting stabbed when I see some white kids around, and I'm white myself.

I'm moving to glorious racially pure Montana next year though so

It was alright. Neighbour was a weed dealer though and I was regularly woken by the sound of his missus chucking him out the house for insulting her.

No one from the city goes to football. Everyone from Leicestershire goes, hence all the white people.
Same as most city clubs outside London. Most fans are in the county.
>>
>>64248298

The White people in the city support Leicester.

It's the Asians (and the blacks in high fields) who support Man U, Liverpool, Arsenal.

When you get in the wrong white area in Leicester, it is really fucking wrong.
Braunstone, New Parks, Eyres Monsell (my original homeland), Beaumont Lees.

Prepare to defend yourself.

why "lie" and not "lay", or "lee"?

He was playing non-league football a few years ago. Sky are making a huge deal about it but it's not that uncommon; Charlie Austin used to play non-league football too and he scored 18 Premier League goals for a relegated side last season.

Kevin Phillips (99-2000 top scorer), Ian Wright (Arsenal's one-time leading scorer) and Les Ferdinand (150 EPL goals) all once played non-league football too.

I really like this post.

Live about 30 miles away and I love the place.
There's always something going on in the centre when I visit, and despite all the asians theres a great atmosphere.
Then again I also really like coventry which is one of the immigrant/poverty hotspots outside london.

Try Wales if you want truly weird place names.
>>
>>64250431
I don't speak walesian though, but knowing englando makes me capable of noticing that some of your cities have way too counter intuitive pronunciations.
>>
>>64249799
Don't you think that is a little extreme?
>>
>>64250721
>but knowing englando makes me capable of noticing that some of your cities have way too counter intuitive pronunciations.

Comes with over a thousand years of the evolution of the language and the fact the country has many local dialects. Many names morphing from Brittonic to Old English too.
>>
>>64251093
I understand m8.
or figured, rather.
my point was that because I don't speak ggoygwgowgyowg there's no way for me to know if something has a counter intuitive pronunciation, since I wouldn't know the "intuitive" pronunciation in the first place.
>>
>>64246719

It is pronounced:

Litch-and-her

lee-sester

this is how it should be pronounced

I always say Lie-Chester

Lester basically
>>
>>64246774

Depends, do you think pakis are nice people? I fucking don't.
>>
It used to be three words but history moved them together, so the real pronounciation is close to 'Le Ice Star'
>>
Anyway, they will get better and better with all these fans from Jakarta to Honolulu
>>
I met an american in Dublin and he said LAY CHESTER
