    Slough has been ranked the most dangerous town in Berkshire. It's been ranked the 4th worst place in the whole country to live.
    But is that all media hype? Is it worth visiting?
    Slough has been left to essentially rot over the years however there is a flicker of hope as we see in the video.

    Well if you came here from India you would be welcome but if your true English don't bother, lived there for 10 years and could not get away fast enough, also found that people don't mix and a very crime ridden dump at the best of times.

      @@EdBrinton Well Ed the 10 years i spent living in Slough was like a life sentence and i must admit i did jump for joy once i left and have never been there since, back in the 60s i did like it there but 20 years latter when i moved there it was a big mistake. Any way Ed take care and if you do still live there best of luck.

      Very true. They dont care for their white english volunerable residents but give everything to the imnigrants and allow them to treat it like 3rd world and there are no laws for them so they get away with so much crime. Diagusting 😡

      @@EdBrinton very true I work for the government and deal with emergency planning and Slough has been a high priority target for the EQUINIX AWS datacenter and a few other "locations". However shocking that sounds don't forget it's Slough so in some ways I'll say that's an improvement so i'm sold on the idea. Except for the death and destruction. Oh and so will Portsmouth as well. Look up a guy called RYAN MCBETH and his video UK Limited Nuclear War Target List.

    Most towns have a small number of people with low standards but Slough has a lot of them. And it attracts more people like this every day while the decent people move away. That's low standards of intelligence, common sense, respect for the law, respect for other people. And it's not just "chavs". If you live in a middle class area then you'll notice it too.
