VIDEO: Bradford the world's first city of film (From Bradford Telegraph and Argus)

Good to see Bradford in the headlines for something positive. Lets hope it leads to good things happening in the city, we desparately need something to be positive about.

Very good news....However all the hard work to get this title will be for nothing unless Bradford Council sort out the city center (unless directors are filming apocalyptic films of course).

The next Terminator would be perfect?

Fascists in the EU parliament but the EU gravy train rolls on.

This has got nothing to do with Bradford people. It's simply more money for middle class shmoozers (Screen Yorkshire) from the south to cash in on soft money that comes from the taxes of poor, working people. The only people from Bradford working in the film industry will be making the tea and cleaning the sh1thouse.

This is the liberal, middle class conspiracy that Nazi Nick Griffin is talking about and you throw your hands in the air when people vote BNP.

Sickening.

Good positive story but like others here have said I fear that until the Council rebuilds our shattered City, properly and with local needs in mind it will simply be fine sentiments all round.
Bradford's failed regeneration is littered with well meaning sentiments and taxpayers cash for Will Alsop and others to go off to Cannes and pontificate about what we as a city need. Its not difficult, jobs, decent houses, decent parks and spaces, shops. Not some architectural / artists wet dream.

What rubbish.

With its designation as UNESCO's only City of Film, Bradford will now be able to:

- encourage more film makers and enthusiasts to come to Bradford and, in turn, boost the City's local economy

- build Bradford's local and international profile and give the community and visitors an exciting and inspiring place to enjoy film

- enhance people's film making knowledge and develop their film making potential.

If you have nothing positive to say or play in the role of Bradford move somewhere else.

Tell the tuth daz, you work at the council, NMFTP or are part of the huge predominantly nationailsed film and TV industry. Good luck to you - you're cashing in while the rest of us mugs are paying. Just don't ask us to be pleased about it.

This scheme will
'encourage more middle class opportunists to come to Bradford to pick up soft cash and patronise us' more like.

The film and TV industry in this country is a bourgeois cabal surrounded by cheerleaders like you. Increasingly irrelevant precisely because schemes like this are designed to create a smokescreen to obscure the truth - working class people aren't wanted.

As far as leaving Bradford, I'm one of the few people with a job I know who's staying. Oh and I was born here, something tells me you can't claim the same.

This city will finally be on a map for something good! This is a good news story and lets all enjoy it, catch some of the sun this weekend and PLEASE CHEER UP!

All your assumptions are incorrect.

I work for none of them, im just just a positive Bradford bloke who likes to hear good news and likes watching the odd film.

It doesn't matter if people from Bradford don't get a job on-set of any possible future location shots here, it is the possibility that Bradford will get a better image which can only benefit us all.

It still doesn't detract from the fact that Bradford is seen worldwide as a third world dump no matter how you pretty it up. Get down to the real issues--the city centre fantasy, cultural intimidation while trying to shop and the general continuing descent into sqalour of our once great city.

Sorry Itchy, this is just another lifeline thrown to the City by UNESCO which the Bergers will fail to build upon & exploit. Saltaire World Heritage Status anyone?

Are you for real? Do you think it is in someway amusing to have your username? You should try visiting Auschwitz and then see how amusing you think you are.

The only thing that is sickening is people like you trying to find justification for supporting a racist, bigoted party so that you can blame all of your own failings on migrants and others who you think you are better than. You are truly pathetic.

Born in Bradford, Bred in Bradford
Live in Bradford and Proud of Bradford.

All of Bradford's failings are due to a lack of leadership for the last 100 years. I suppose you think it is just because there are too many immigrants and non-whites.

Totally wrong with your name and your facts knightmccall. He was a good player but a lousy coach.
Bradfords failings are simply down to the degenerates driving around Manningham etc in there flash cars bought out of other peoples misery and addiction. Read the telegraph and you will see the majority of the trouble caused in this hole of a city is by a certain section of society.
As for Mr Griffin and co I can not see why people are up in arms about a group of people who do not want the country to fall into anymore disrepair.

Why when this is broadcast on the tv is the last shot of Bradford a shot of the mosque on Carlisle rd. What has that monstrosity got to do with the film industry

Great news. I've been waiting for a sequel to Rita, Sue and Bob 2, for years.



Did you see what I did there with the title? Did you? ;-)

"the majority of the trouble caused in this hole of a city is by a certain section of society."

Yes indeed! That'll be the selfish, ignorant halfwits who lack honesty, decency and integrity, Oddshape.
However they come in a variety of colours and shapes, live in different areas whether it's Queensbury or Manningham, and you can even find a few in City Hall. There's no single race or demographic with a monopoly on bad behaviour so stop passing the buck, causing trouble and try looking in your own back yard before you poke around in other people's.

As for 'Mr Griffin' - the reason that people are up in arms about his party is because it was formed from the dregs of the National Front, it promotes racist and divisive policies, and many of their leading members have criminal records...Now, what were you saying again about the majority of trouble being caused by a certain section of society...?

However, on subject: I think the news about Bradford being the City of Film is generally A Good Thing. Now, how about we revamp the old Odeon building and do something useful with it to show our commitment to our film heritage :-)

Because Mr Griffin & Co are thugs & bigots. Have you seen the leading figures' violent criminal records. Having these people as your Party Figureheads is hardly the way to get taken seriously in Politics!

Griffin and Brons have no criminal convictions for actual violence.
In the last thirty years the figure for elected MPS having convictions for a variety of offences must be in the hundreds, the figure for MPs imprisoned during that period was fifteen at the last release of data, and has been added to by another at least another two to my knowledge.
With the current scandal still under investigation it is possible that these figures will increase.
After all this is sorted (or should i say IF) would it be a good subject for a film (made in Bradford of course)?

I was wondering when the pro-Nazis (aka BNP activists) would show up.

Nice of T&A to remove all the constructive comments by frustrated, decent-bradfordians (logged under the Flappit story), regarding the attack on the 2 pensioners. Freedom of speech? Only if you don't upset anyone.....
