  • Corby WAS a shit hole I get that but after The new town center and CBA was built a variety of people moved in there's actually less chavs and more emo's, goths, grebs, preps etc; I live in Oakley vale and some of my friends live in the older parts and none of us have ever heard about robberies in the area. So shut up

    And they are also goong to make corby and kettering into one town named CORBY!

  • Heres a message to the ones who think Corby is bad - Its not, its been done up completely now an its not what it use to be, like every town/city it had its bad patch but its calmed down over the years. Who ever has been here recently u will see its changed.

  • Corby is one town which has every right to be proud. People who call it 'a crap place to live' surely can't understand its desperate history at the hands of Margaret Thatcher. It was my first sight of the deserted steelworks and the hopeless feeling of abandonment amongst Corby people which made me the socialist I am today. That Corby has fought back is a testament to the tenacity and determination of its people.

  • Not agreeing with what he did... The video he made pisses me off :L

    Im just saying, when he made his video, about 2 or something years before this one.. Maybe some of those statistics were true? Of course the population of Corby is going to increase! With the new houses in Oakley Vale and the influx of Eastern Europeans etc...

  • Love it well done!

  • um your video is showing things that were built after the welcome to hell video.

  • @Dave11989 And? It's also correcting the misleading facts that were mentioned in the other video.

  • @MeBeKath There were no misleading facts Corby was a shit hole and now it's not a hell of a lot better if the councillors really cared about corby they would have built the hospital they were promising before the the Cube (which isn't even technically a cube), What we need in Corby is more sustainable Jobs and a better infastructure not a shitty glass building and an aircraft hanger with some water in it.

  • Comment removed

  • @Dave11989 Although the Cube was built first, the new healthcare is still going ahead and the building has already begun. Many new facilities in Corby are becoming avaliable, for instance the Cinema. Oppertunities like these are bound to create new jobs and bring the town further. Corby has, since it came down from it's glory days, improved greatly.

  • @Dave11989

    Youtube - 'Corby Urgent Care Centre' You can see the building plans for yourself

  • Comment removed

  • Given the fact i've moved away from Corby, i feel the right to comment.

    (Aside from the fact it was 'Yob town 2008') - I personally hated the 8 years i spent in Corby. Sure, some people were nice and some places were okay, but when where you live, makes you fear sleeping on the ground floor, because burgluries happened on a regular occurance in your estate. Or seeing a fight outside your window EVERY weekend.

    No, Corby isn't perfect. And i have no fond memories of the place.

  • should have finished with sheepshit xD yeah thats how you come back mate (Y) corby 4 life and steelmen for life

  • @switchNN17 so where would you like to live? if you find a anywhere that dont have the issues you mentioned then let me know... because ill move today! it's down to an individual if he or she wants to commit a crime or take drugs, so why should the reputation of a whole town and its people suffer?? no one is claiming we live in a perfect town and i aint read anyone saying this town is better than any other... corby has improved and is still improving what more can you ask for?

  • ok corby lovers, you want to promote people to stay off drugs, you don't show them footage of people enjoying themselves on drugs do you?

    corby is crap, but i'm sure it does have positives. if you are emphasising the crap you dont show the greenest gardens...

  • @tRAFFICuk added to which, is your video not full of misconscrewed info like his video and you are taking away his one right as a human... an opinion

    and i agree with his. corby is now a polished turd

  • Comment removed

  • @SwitchNN17 you cant disapprove or corby that much when you have its postal district in your name =] why dont you go rep Buckinghamshire or The Cotswolds or somewhere like that?

  • corby is the britains worst town ever full of ugly fat stupid scotish  junkies

  • Nice! lotsa lurv from some one who lives in Corby! Well said xx

  • the auther of this has gone all out attack on graham williams... i can safely say its not the town thats wrong its some of the people...FACT!

  • corby town rock kettering bangs sheeps mr williams is a faggot

  • go ketterin ya sheep shagger that other guy was right your clutchin at straws and you onlyshowed the good parts of corby what about arron way and all the rest of it

  • aaron way does not exist anymore it gpot knocked down.

  • Am with you on this corby isn't tht bad if s town. I don't mind livin here soo yeah good video I'm on ur side :) xx

  • Yeah, sure, they're improving the town's facilities and what not, but can you change the people in the town? You know, the ignorant vandals, chavs? No, you can't.

  • Worst place I think not !!!how about trying to avoid bombs or rifle fire!!! You know where you can get them ???

    Think again about Corby it is on the up and the town centre is far far better than Kettering ....in fact people from Kettering now come to Corby to shop.......changed days.

    JP.

  • From the BBC news article about Corbys railway system:

    "It is currently the biggest town in Europe without a train station."

    You never cited anything you said in this video yet claim it to be fact. You also never addressed everything said in the video and accuse him of cherry picking. Hypocrite much?

    On the UpMyStreet website, everything for the exception of "Theft from a vehicle offences" everything was higher.

    That's all I can fit in the comment section. I can do the rest if you want.

  • 'most populated' does not equal 'largest'

  • The guy who made that vid has nothing better else to do. I feel so sorry for him. He is like 28 or something and still living at home.

  • great vid, i bet the guy who made the welcome to hell video was from kettering and is just jelous that corby are doing so much better than kettering. :D

  • NIce one (: ,

    bet he feels a twat now (Y)

  • Corbi is a shyt hole. End of .

  • typical person from kettering.

  • The hole area is the armpit of england .

  • Train station, New town, More than kettering already. Kettering does not have the money to improve. And the stuff that is being improved is crap anyway.

  • Kettering is a skidmark down the back of the underpants of Britain. There's only one place that's worse, and that's 'Cunt'by.

  • Agreed kettering is shit. When was the last time you were anywhere near corby

  • I went there once about 3 years ago. I promptly erased the experience from my memory though. It was like watching a snuff movie.

  • 3 years ago? Jesus its changed since then. Corby has revamped alot since then

  • LOL You can't polish a turd, bruv.

  • That made no sense. Like most things you have said. Why not to got kettering you sheep shagger

  • I'd rather remove my own fingernails with a pair of plyers than visit that area of Britain, to be honest.

  • lol im from corby and u jus made laugh with that snuff movie comment lol

    little dramatic though.

  • corby aint a hell hole or a piece of shit its not perfect but no town is and at least we dont shag sheep !!

  • Thanks for this video. Much better than Welcome to Hell

  • i live in corby and it AINT as bad as what people class it as!

    yeah there are a few crimes in corby but im sure you get that in every other town you go into.

    COME ON CORBY .... xx :D

  • great video. proves corby aint no shithole. corby for ever.

  • dis video is propaganda by corby council and it sux.

    the town is a shithole and the people live on a diet of fizzy drinks, takeaways, potato crisps, sweets and chocolate biscuits. Nobody can cook a proper meal.

  • ohh yeh, real propaganda by the council because their likely to make it in Windows movie maker and take pictures using a normal 5mp camera.

  • you;re 25? grow up.

  • yeh, but at least we can write proper. init.

  • wtf. You are clearly wrong in every word you just said there

  • @treebucket3 agreed with Lozfromcorby. Don't even think about judging us until you've lived in Corby yourself. It might be a shithole to everyone else... but to me, and to everyone that lives there... it's HOME. And for me, it always will be.

  • @treebucket3 Learn how to spell 'this' or 'sucks' and then, please feel free to return.

  • but ive forgot wat i was saying bye bye

  • Great video. The "Hell" video was pointless, malicious and misleading. I suggest Mr. Williams use his meagre talents elsewhere (paperazzi or lawyer maybe) He could have picked on any number of towns in the UK and come up with the same video, why Corby?

    Well done loz!

  • No, they were trail versions.

    "his film was covered by national press and local media, and really brought forth change."

    You heard it here people, it was the Welcome to Hell video that brought us a new shopping centre, train station etc. etc.

    Priceless.

  • "photoshop is about my limit! and after effects.."

    So you're not doing too badly then... Or are they cracked versions?

  • "would you mind doing it again using the crime rates from the actual year of the original's production"

    What say you?

  • I'm a firm believer in not being complaicent in the face of adversity, so you might want to retract the 'stupid' comment from your youtube, if you are so against negativity.

    The documentary used original/real footage gathered from a town that desperately needed help.

    We do not have a perfect system in this country, but his film was covered by national press and local media, and really brought forth change.

    yours sincerely

  • have you ever been to watch the football team we have? they are favourites to get promoted to the conference this season and doing well!

  • I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH " IOZFROMCORBY" ... i am from corby too and i agree.. so what if it did close down the steelworks .. it is still a brilliant and fastgrowning town ... first things first .. we need a new football team lol :D

  • Youre right there mate it is a load of crap this dud who made 'corby: welcome to hell' is probrably a sketteringer, i cant belive bloddy itv interviewed him, he has achived nothing of that video.. GOOD ON YOU MATE

  • Excellent video. Makes me proud to live here :)

  • oh yes you go finally some one who has made a good video about Corby Fuck You Mr. Cockhead Williams

  • Well done that man! For too long people have looked down their sheep at Corby. Dont focus on negatives like the tosser in the welcome to hell video. Dont blame the houses, dont blame the shops and dont blame the jobs - its upto the individual to make something of them selves.

  • nah not really, computer isn't good enough for video making. photoshop is about my limit! and after effects..

    also, to comment below: get over it "Corby really isn't that bad!" :)

  • Since it must have taken only a few short minutes to steal Graham William's footage and put it in a Power Point presentation, would you mind doing it again using the crime rates from the actual year of the original's production?

  • Chuck Norris eats steel for breakfast, lunch and dinner - so Corby provided it.

  • P.s

    Steelman 1987 is a dick!.. Yeeaaah

  • At least the hit are going up though hey boys!

    Loz in all honesty, well done for making the video, it takes people like both you and graham to raise these issues... and it gets people talking (and shouting), creating debate!... and it takes people to do that, so the masses can jeer or applaud. Just though using Graham to grind your axe on was a bit unreasonable.Its so Amazing how wound up people get on youtube! I got a bit scared with some of those responses!

    Are you a film maker man?

    Daz

  • I would just like to say that regardless of stats or facts Corby really isn't that bad. In fact Kettering and Wellingborough are not that different anymore and I think people cling to the bad rather than focusing on the good. Views tend to differ depending where you live in Corby, and if you have ever lived anywhere else. Putting Corby into one big sterotype is helping noone and extremely unrepresentative of the general town population.

  • This video is not a personal attack on you.

    It is a defense of an attack made in a video against Corby.

    I apologise if you feel that it is, because that is not my intention, and in any case I do not know you.

    I am just trying to set some of the records straight for Corby.

    Regards,

    Lawrence

  • While this video is more of a personal attack on myself rather than an attempt to 'set the record straight' all of my data resources were clearly stated in the video:

    Home Office Research

    The Audit Commission

    The Labour Party

    and

    CORBY BOROUGH COUNCIL!

    also the crime rates you have used are from 2006/2007 - my documentary was made in 2005.

    This video is no less 'misleading' than you claim mine to be.

    Graham Williams.

  • I would have to disagree there. I don't think my video is misleading.

    I'm not tryng to promote Corby in anyway I am simply factchecking false and misleading statements made about Corby in another video.

    I agree with you that Corby does have problems that need dealing with, two of which you are spot on.

    Corby's underage teenage pregnancy rate is classed as "high" but has dropped significantly in recent years. Corby is also in the top 5 most obese places in the UK.

    Thanks for the comments.

  • Childish, but at least its a better reflection of Corby. This vid is equally as misleading. Corby is a town that IS improving fast, but still has some big social problems that are NOT being adequately addressed. There are still areas where there is little done about EXTREMELY poor housing, obesity, teen pregnancy, benefits abuse etc., but Corby is becoming less like a degraded hell-hole every day. Credit to the council for getting things done, but Corby needs more than a glossy town centre!

  • shutup daz you tit. i dont think he used all the footage 'cause some of your mates wasnt allowed in because it was mostly of him in a mask, shagging a jar of marmalade with "lets get it on" as the soundtrack

  • corby is great but this video is rubbish theres to many words not alot of pictures

    but lucky for me theres no joined up written.

  • I found it, eventually. The ET's link doesn't work! I would like to thank you Lawrence for not writing Corby off completely. I too lived away at uni and then came home, and actually everywhere has problems and Corby is not that bad! The town is actually starting to shape up to become good. (decent shops, some nice pubs/eating places). I wish people would stop moaning. People have it much worse in life. I am sure people in Africa would love the privileges we do have so get a grip you who moan!

  • I love my town

  • One video states facts, the other is another contrived dig at Corby as a place. You have no argument in the face of concrete facts dazspencer1982, but jumping to the defence of a friend is only natural.

    All you've proved in fact you are the "sad little twat", as you put it. Maybe that can be added as a fact in the next video ;)

  • Jumping to the defence of your hometown is only natural, inded I know Graham Cares passionately about Corby and its residents.. ENough to raise these issues in the first place. Its just a shame sad little twats like you have to jump on the band wagon and essentially prove... no point.

    Well done though seriously.

    Get back to Nursery, get back to your video course, you obviously need the training.

    Daz

  • I am a close friend of Graham williams. This video is fucking shit! I am very glad that this little film has manged to get over 300 hits! If you could have the decency next time when creating your video NOT to steal all of Grahams footage to create it, and not ride on the back of someone elses video to promote yourself someone might take you seriously.

  • Well done mate, that's a great video. Corby is a great place to live. I am originally from Kettering but I moved to Corby to get more house for my money and I would NEVER consider moving back now.  Corby is an exciting place to be now. PS My house is in the video...how cool!

  • well done loz, although the other bullshit is entertaining for others i would gladly show this to all the folk i have worked with in kettering, welly and northampton who are sadly scared of Corby, a great place to live. 38 years and loved every day of it

    thanks again loz

  • I love this more realistic view of Corby. Thnk you for taking the time to set the records straight. Corby gets my vote for being a great place to live.

  • Quality video :D

    I am not sure why people that live there try and make the town seem so bad, Hell I'd live in Corby over Kettering, Desborough etc any day!

  • Jame's?

  • I'm glad someone has finally responded to the most badly contrived video ever made about Corby, simply using fact and reason to do it.

    True enough, Corby wasn't in such good shape when the Welcome to Hell video was posted but even so, the essential seeds had been laid and now they're sprouting.

  • that guy that made welcome to hell was a bawbag just trying to make us look bad, but we have come out on top AGAIN. we are improving the town more every day.

  • well said lozfromcorby. A good point well made.

  • I used to live in a 300 year old cottage in the country...

    ... I now live in a flat in the centre of Corby...

    ... and guess what..?

    I am seriously happier... and Corby is a much better place to live
