I wasn’t actually aware of this, but it turns out that Huddersfield is now one of the most deprived areas in the UK and crime there has skyrocketed to 136% with many gangs of masked youths marching around the town stabbing each other with machetes.

This violence culminated over the summer in an attack at the Deighton Working Men’s Club. Two boys in balaclavas stormed the smoking area of the pub – which is nicknamed ‘The Butcher’s Arms’ and controlled by the BBD gang from the area – and chopped off a 30 year old man’s hand.

Pensioners said that the teenagers were laughing and joking as they ran away. Another girl said the following:

I went to give him first aid. I was walking through the club and saw everything.

Me and a couple of other people thought the best thing to do was pick up his hand and put it in a bucket.

That probably was the best thing to do, although at this point it’s unknown what happened to the man and whether or not doctors were able to reattach the severed limb. Here’s hoping that they did and the guy is OK now, although if people are chopping his hand off then chances are he did something pretty bad so that might just be the start of his troubles.

Other than though, it’s kind of horrific that stuff like this is happening in this country – it sounds more like something that would happen in the Wild West – but that’s just how badly things have deteriorated in some areas over the past few years. Absolutely no idea how this is going to get better any time soon either. Grim.
