    I live in Birmingham.
    I returned back from Florida after 7 years and I really didn't think their was a possible way for brum to become worse.
    I was wrong.
    How many weeks in a row I've seen someone literally passed out, face planted on the floor in town with police around the corner more concerned about "protests".
    Then the city itself is "bankrupt" because we are treated as an individual entity that the UK government won't ever pay out or assist.
    The real issue is not immigration, knife crime or racism.
    The real issue is the government itself refusing to actively change these cities, they don't even care about London anymore.
    Disgusting the way this country has been run.

    I love this geezer. It's the juxtaposition of being an absolute animal, a true *monster of a bloke who has served time in a Thai nick and entered into Muay Thai tournaments while he was there, along with a rough background in Liverpool; all the blagging, fighting, problems with drugs - balanced out by the fact he is a mature, wise, sincere, honest gentleman. He is no threat to anyone and is about as far removed from being a bully as you can get.
    Know what I mean? I think it was Jordan Peterson who said as a man, it helps if you can be an absolute monster if needed, but keep it under lock and key and only ever show your gentlemanly side. Thats this guy. You get a genuine sense of compassion the way he is with the crackies that he meets. No judgments or condescension - just a caring, sympathetic attitude towards them.
    He is a smashing bloke.
    *Monster, but not in the 'nonce' or 'wrongun' sense of the word, obviously. Just in terms of being a handful.

      Just to correct you the one stop shopping centre is not handsworth - it is Perry Barr & in Perry Barr they had the athletic stadium for commonwealth games 2) Handsworth has relatively few estates and you predictably missed out filming the areas of handsworth that is purely semi detached & detached houses with grass verges 3) It's either a trend by Vloggers or convenience or design to film only homeless and drug addicts or those suffering with mental illness .

      Refugees are only being put in hotels because tories and everyone since thatcher sold off council housing supply, didn't build more, those houses end up under corporate ownership and cost more than the average brit can afford so the councils only option is to put people in hotels, ironically costing the taxpayer more than if we'd just had council houses.

      do you really think the people agree with you? hardly no migrants in hotels until 2020, yet the people voted for homelessness back in 2010 and they loved it, even the lower paid class turned on the unemployed and the unemployed turned on the ill. as for those with addiction the people on social media were saying send the lot to a dis used oil rig and let them rot (one example),, funny though as when the migrants were getting put into hotels them exact same people were saying FEED OUR HOMELESS FIRST but they made an error as people got on to these far right wingers and they changed it to FEED OUR VETERANS FIRST,

    The entire inner city of Birmingham is virtually devoid of the English, those who remain are targeted with class A drugs especially the women to get them into prostitution.
    Seen it for years, it affected my mental health, the streets are filthy and there was no community for support.. I was just surrounded by the 3rd world languishing on a council waiting list
