For real tho. He’s addressing the inherent classism in the Britain and historical divide of the north and south, enforced by the Britain government and the crooks of the House of Lords.
Ahmad Hosny It’s nothing to do with the wealth, but the arrogance and belief in superiority, a lot from the south try to make it seem like most people from the North are dumb, dim witted, totally clueless in the modern world but that couldn’t be further from the truth. There’s clowns with little self awareness in every region. From celebrities who live in a bubble completely torn from reality, to fools who let themselves become victims of the big corporations looking to condition and take advantage of people for money.
Totally agree with the sentiment of this rant...... except for one thing; don't confuse London with "the South" I'd bet that much of Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire, even Hampshire (think Southampton and Portsmouth) have more in common with Boro than Islington. I don't like the North/South divide cliché. It's London (not even all of London) and the rest.
Tyge Berger no I think it’s 2007. I read the Arsenal vs Bolton bit. Saw the names Van Persie Gilberto Silva and Rosicky. Anelka was at Bolton that year

As a guy from Middlesbrough, I’m proud of Jeff. Stuck up for us. Made some excellent points. However, it is a horrible place to live, would have to agree it’s up there with the worst
Depends where you live mate grangetown is different to yarm lol. I live in ireland now but my dad lives in marske and it's one of the nicest places to live I think so it's all subjective. I'd take a pint down the navy before a game than being any other fan out there.
I live in Somerset & have family near Liverpool & I find the people up north 100 times friendlier.... Obviously not an exact rule but it seems to be a trend.. Also to the guy talking about london/Birmingham, that isn't the North that's South east/Midlands... No one thinks London is particularly friendly.
@@the_red_barron1002 I think it's basically once you start getting away from London the people are friendlier....cockneys are cunts. South West England folk are very friendly.
I hope he reads these comments later in life because they mean so much to us Middlesbrough locals and the north east in general. Jeff is a hero and we all with him the best
If every Brexiteer in Middlesborough (well, everyone) is as angry as this guy is then they can enjoy their rotten banned fish. Let them google “what is the EU?” Perhaps their dear leader will explain to them and con them again
As a man whos entire mothers family is from Boro and only has fond memories of the place and the many friends I made, its nice to see someone stand up for Boro
Jeff, a man of wit,a man of principle, a man of truth! When they talk and reminisce of him in the future, they will say this was his greatest rant -his finest 5 minutes, well spent!
Nothing says 4th of July Tradition in the U.S like watching an English man from Hartlepool defend Middlesbrough against English elitist...USA! USA! USA!
It used to be a horrible place when the Teesside Steelworks was operating at full blast and ICI Billingham was belching out god knows what into the atmosphere - they aren't called The Smoggies for nothing - but these days it is just a slightly run down Northern town with nothing particularly unpleasant to put you off going there.
Middlesbrough isn't the best place to live but my god they have heart. Our team won the carling Cup when Man Utd and Arsenal were in their prime. This little club got to the final of the Europa Cup throwing aside Rome on its way. C'mon Boro!
Lets be honest mate, "roy chubby brown" is the most well known and the best on the list.. you want to read between the lines of the jokes the man is a lot more intelligent than you think and also in today world chubby brown of the 90s when he was at his peak no comedian could touch him and in todays comedy circle he makes every other comedian like ya mcintyres, bishops and whitehalls looking like kids entertainers
@@leejarviscomedian3936 He's a shock merchant, just like any good comedian. His material changed to fit the taboos of the time, constantly pricking (or in Chubby's case, torpedoing) society's sensibilities. It always was and is his mission to be as offensive as possible, no different to recent comedians like Frankie Boyle. As you say, by comparison, most comics are childrens' entertainers.
Yarm is indeed a very fine place. Worked with a lot of Middlesbrough people in the shipyards back in the day. Invariably lovely, warm hearted people, with a great sense of humour.
Well said Jeff and thanks. Middlesbrough is a handsome town and it's surrounded by beauty that's just minutes away. Oh and we built the Geordies bridge for them as well. Erimus stand tall and proud. Up the Boro!!!!
It's true. Some southerners are so stuck up and quite rightly need putting back in their place. Although recent 'Worst Place to Live' articles do feature SOME places to live in the south now.
We have Captain Cook's old house here in Melbourne Australia. It's the sort of place everyone's parents take them to when they are kids. We had a Piscasso too but somebody stole it, they ended up finding it in a locker at the train station.
They should, but it's not really Middlesbrough, is it? That's like trying to ward off accusations that Detroit is run down on the basis of nearby Oakland Hills being quite well off.
He forgot to mention Bob Mortimer, Don Revie, Wilf Mannion, Glen Durrant, David Coverdale, Thelma Barlow, Mark Clemmit, Steve Gibson, Wendy Richards, Paul Rodgers etc.
0:20 Rickmansworth?!? Since when have we been the border town with the north - its normally Watford.

adrian ip they’re both Scots, there’s a lot of similarities between the way the type of London bubble twats are dismissive of the north of England to the dismissive way they’ll also describe Scots, Scotland itself, our culture and traditions. The north of England has far more in common with Scots than the toffs in the Home Counties who run the media in this country and come out with the kind of guff Jeff was ranting about.

Never even been to Middlesbrough but that was rly inspiring😂👊

It's true. Some southerners are so stuck up and quite rightly need putting back in their place. Although recent 'Worst Place to Live' articles do feature SOME places to live in the south now.
From a North Shields bloke to Hartlepools Jeff Sterling. Magnificent rant.
We have Captain Cook's old house here in Melbourne Australia. It's the sort of place everyone's parents take them to when they are kids. We had a Piscasso too but somebody stole it, they ended up finding it in a locker at the train station.
I almost cheered at 'people who think Little Britain is funnier than The Likely Lads'.
Yer right Jeff I did like Little Britian but it wasn't a patch on the likely lads.
...and now the woke brigade that Jeff talks of have now got Little Britain banned.
This is like the Middlesbrough version of Brave Heart.
I hope Mel Gibson will one day make a movie about this.
And to top it all off Jeff's favourite team which is Hartlepool had their game was called off
Against Swansea in the league. Shows the age of this clip.
How can they not know about Yarm Village?!
They should, but it's not really Middlesbrough, is it? That's like trying to ward off accusations that Detroit is run down on the basis of nearby Oakland Hills being quite well off.
Plus, Yarm is a town, not a village.
Can’t believe he missed out parmos

How can you talk about managers born in Middlesbrough and not mention the great Don Revie?
Looking at the fixtures 20 October 2007?
I was with you Jeff, I was with you all the way until you mentioned Roy Chubby Brown and not Bob Mortimer!
You know a city doesn't have much to boast about when someone has to throw Roy Chubby Brown into it's list of 'famous' people.
Jonathan Woodgate though
The great Brian Clough makes up for him, 'Christopher'.
