From the early 1970s, the problems caused by the increasing numbers of students living in the Leeds area were beginning to cause major problems for the native population of the city. For centuries before the arrival of the (largely southern) hoard Leeds residents had enjoyed a comparatively high (by northern standards) standard of living, due to the availability of relatively cheap alcohol, drugs, and ready-meals.

  • From the early 1970s, the problems caused by the increasing numbers of students living in the Leeds area were beginning to cause major problems for the native population of the city. For centuries before the arrival of the (largely southern) hoard Leeds residents had enjoyed a comparatively high (by northern standards) standard of living, due to the availability of relatively cheap alcohol, drugs, and ready-meals. However, as students began to bring increasing levels of wealth into the city, the prices of such essential drugs began to grow to a level making even normally cheap lagers such as Skol beyond the means of the average Yorkshireman. Following the bloody riots of 1974, the city council began to research ways of containing the problem, and after lengthy consultation decided that the best way of dealing with the student menace would be to contain the student population within a confined area safe for people who run with scissors.
