Hope you enjoyed this stroll with me down the lovely Soho Road, in Birmingham, West Midlands - and as long as I keep surviving these ghetto and rough area tours, I'll keep bringing them to you.As always, all comments, questions, and feedback are welcome - Thanks for tuning in! 😀
You sorts of people always go on like women and say the dumbest things. "Used to have to travel abroad to see slums." Where are you from and how old are you that you would think that statement is true? All over the country people in inner cities lived in Victorian terraced "slums" well into the 20th century. After the slum clearances many were moved to giant estates in new towns, lots of which were "slums" within five minutes. These cities and communities were all mostly white. After all, according to you lot there weren't any non whites around back then. The communities still had antisocial behaviour, still had substance abuse, still had violence, still had thieving, still had murder, still had drug dealing, still looked like post apocalyptic shitholes. I can show you a video of the one my dad's family moved to, or I'm sure you can find almost identical results from up and down the country. You know all this is true, but you still come out with shite like that like an old woman. Don't you feel embarrassed saying things like it? And what are we actually looking at here? A scruffy shit hole? Go to a white British estate in a place that "diversity" hasn't hit yet. I assure you, fly tipping isn't exclusive to any one community, white Brits do it too. Again, you know all this but you go on with your effeminate hand wringing and crying. It's nuts your lot constantly accuse other people of being over sensitive snowflakes, you are always the most frightened, dramatic and emotional people going, always whining and crying.
Diversity is our strength is a load of BS. Diversity of thought is what matters and you can get that in a group of white English. But people fAll for the BS and vote the same idiots into power. Labour will be bring WOKE home to everyone.

The United Kingdom is in such a serious state of decline and decay and this mass invasion of immigrants is contributing massively to the myriad of problems we as a nation are now confronted with and with the distinct probability of a labour government circumstances will only become so much worse.
This will be coming to all towns and villages. As the Tory party have hit the accelerator button on immigration. It is now running at 10x previous levels.
Coming to us here in New Zealand. ALL our political parties are onboard for mass migration into the country and they also have no problem with any new arrivals bringing TWO generations of family members to, 'support' them. Last year we had a record 165,000 extra migrants turn up. Oh and we're also pushing hard for the same BS LEZ zones and parking permits outside your own home. All this to, 'save' lives and the planet.
@zaynemal5413 ironic cause its always been known as an "asian" city since i was a lad and I'm pushing 35 😂😂😂 mind you that does make sense cause the BAME brits are also pretty backwards and stuck in their ways its not just Bill and Margaret who are miserable grumps
In the UK, super diverse means super slum with poverty, crime ridden areas, and nobody's safe. Birmingham is probably one of the worse and there are plenty more cities in UK where the situation is similar. Welcome to the UK 😢
I went to Handsworth college in the 80s, I was one of two white kids in my class and we never got any grief from the Pakistanis or the black kids that made up the rest of the class. We were kinda overlooked because they were too busy hating each other and threatening to kill each other at various places after college. Strikes me after all these years that integration is a slow burner if it happens at all large scale. When cultures are so different, people tend to stay within their own.
@@pinxtownington4645 that is true to a point, I was an apprentice back then and having worked with an Indian apprentice as well whom we got on very well I asked him hypothetically what would happen if I wanted to go out with his sister or marry her, he said it wouldn't happen and they'd disown her if she did. Perhaps things have moved on but back then Indians would integrate on a business front but less so personal but like I say that may have changed, thanks for your reply.
Every weekend I have to drive a coach up and down this road picking up locals to take them to and from work in Evesham. I do this four times every weekend and it`s a horrible experience with me not only being the only Brit on the coach but also the only one for miles around, it`s very intimidating and I never feel safe, if they decide to kick off I`ve had it.
"When I was a Revolutionary Marxist, we were all in favour of as much immigration as possible. It wasn’t because we liked immigrants, but because we didn’t like Britain. We saw immigrants - from anywhere - as allies against the staid, settled, conservative society that our country still was at the end of the Sixties. Also, we liked to feel oh, so superior to the bewildered people - usually in the poorest parts of Britain - who found their neighbourhoods suddenly transformed into supposedly "vibrant communities". If they dared to express the mildest objections, we called them bigots. When we graduated and began to earn serious money, we generally headed for expensive London enclaves and became extremely choosy about where our children went to school, a choice we happily denied the urban poor, the ones we sneered at as "racists". What did we know, or care, of the great silent revolution which even then was beginning to transform the lives of the British poor? To us, it meant patriotism and tradition could always be derided as "racist". And it also meant cheap servants for the rich new middle-class, for the first time since 1939, as well as cheap restaurants and - later on - cheap builders and plumbers working off the books. It wasn’t our wages that were depressed, or our work that was priced out of the market. Immigrants didn’t do the sort of jobs we did. They were no threat to us. The only threat might have come from the aggrieved British people, but we could always stifle their protests by suggesting that they were modern-day fascists. I have learned since what a spiteful, self-righteous, snobbish and arrogant person I was (and most of my revolutionary comrades were, too)." Peter Hitchens
You have my deepest sympathy walking through that slum! 🙏 My grandparents said it was a lovely area back in the 40's and 50's when they were growing up.
Handsworth has undergone a huge transition in terms of it's demographics over the last couple of decades and sadly this video is yet another reflection of the huge social and economic demise happening across Birmingham at the moment due to poor civic leadership. When i attended college during the late 80's , i had friends who were Indian and Caribbean and would regularly pop down to see them socially , during that time it was primarily those two communities along with some Irish families that lived within the area and to be fair Soho road was quite vibrant, safe and cleaner back then , In fact Handsworth even had yearly carnival. Fast forward a few decades later and this area has totally changed and experienced a huge influx of Roma gypsies , East and North Africans , Kurdish , Slovakians and other minorities while the older ethnic minorities have moved on and its also recently experienced a huge inward movement of indigenous so called "vulnerable" individuals primarily drug addicts , criminals , beggars , prostitutes plus other assorted dysfunctional undesirables all housed within the side roads along the main stretch hence the reason why this area has been on a downward spiral during the past few years and the real reason you see a lot of squalor and deprivation around this area is due to a new social housing boom called exempt housing or hmo's and they are proving to be a real scourge across the city at the moment , You literally cannot walk five minutes along this road and many others within Birmingham without hearing the ubiquitous "got any spare change" anthem , multiple individuals shouting and screaming at each other whilst swigging super strong beer cans or open drug taking in full view of the public , it's unreal , disturbing and truly dystopian then again its Birmingham 2024 sadly.
Having lived in India years ago, the littering is pretty similar. Real shame. There’s no longer that pride in your place. That takes years to form with the feeling of belonging.
I was pretty shocked to see some of the stuff going on in India. However Toronto is going the same way as they've had an influx from India and apparently the once nice beach is covered in rubbish and fecal matter. Edit: forgot to say its the same in Australia. There's an area thats predominantly South Asian and same deal. Trash everywhere. Boxes stacked chest high on the edge of the road. Very dirty and grey with men hunched in doorways looking miserable like they're in Stoke on a rainy day.
Actually India compared to Birmingham is becoming a far better place because of its economic growth and following China's development model. Birmingham looks far far far more like Pakistan or Iran and Afghanistan. Look the highest percentage of which religion is dominant there? They aren't Hindus , Buddhists.
what is the thing under putin's picture on the flag ? if it's what i think it is, it should be removed... it's not wise to put that right next to a pic of St. George. just saying.
Because it's an undefined strength. In "their" eyes, diversity is a "strength" because it's good at achieving the goals that they set out to use it for, namely weakening the social cohesion of the host (non-diverse) nation. So yes, "strength" but not in the way that you or I would use the term. Also, keep up the good work!
@@LeeKelly-dj4rf which is why we're idiots if we vote for labour or conservative again. We need to start voting somewhere else and telling others not to waste the vote on those two destructive parties. It's clearer than ever that they don't run the country but are given orders. We need to vote right to save it, no left wing parties will stop immigration and deport people. And neither will any create more British owned businesses as we don't make anything anymore.
Reform is a joke: they want net zero which means everytime someone leaves the country, they let another one in. So when someone retires in Spain, a space opens for Mohammed and his mates. The thing we need is mass deportations: every phone, vape, chicken, kebab, barber shop etc needs to be turned upside down
As a Nigerian living in Nigeria who considers myself as an Anglophile, seeing videos like these break my heart. Immigration is good but when it's too much it becomes a huge problem. Many immigrants in Britain especially those from the middle east have refused to integrate into the British culture instead they want the British to integrate middle eastern culture. I read somewhere that if the immigration to Britain continues at this rate, by the 2050s white British people will become minority in their ancestral land. For the sake of your generations unborn, you the British must my make sure your policians reduce immigration drastically. This is the most honest advice I can give as foreigner. From Lagos, Nigeria 🇳🇬.
Thank you sir, I wholeheartedly agree. Most of the tourists say the same as you whether they are from Japan, the USA or Nigeria. They want to come to England to see English people and English culture, not Middle Easterners and Pakistanis. My apologies for the twat below who is laughing at you. He doesn't know the future is with Nigeria and India
@@bullrider9617 Nigeria's problems range from poverty, insecurity, financial corruption, inter tribal violence and religious conflicts. None of the above is as serious as immigrants coming to take over the affairs of the land from the natives.
I was talking to the wife the other day about somewhere we could go one weekend to do some flytippinng , buy some balloons and maybe a sari whilst trying to avoid getting stabbed while on the way back to the car. Cheers mate, you've sorted it. Brum, here we come.
It’s almost like the proliferation of areas like this aligns perfectly with demographic change… but that can’t be right, because diversity is our strength, right? 🙄
Diversity is not a strength. Multiculturalism has utterly failed and to see a country decay like this, especially you own is horrifyingly sad. I'm so angry at what they've done to us
@@jeongbun2386- Actually, that isn't true. They have Chinese, Malays, Christians, muslims and other religions. They are just strict on law and order as we should be.
I used to go to school on Grove Lane, which is just off Soho Road. As soon as I started watching, I knew I was looking at Soho Road even though I haven't been there in nearly 30 years. That place is so dangerous.
I live in a "overspill town" with large estates that were built in the 60s for Birmingham people to move out to. I know several people who lived in Handsworth in the 50s and 60s and say how nice the area had been.One woman remembered servants opening the door when they used to go Carol singing in an area of Handsworth. It seems from what i was told the decline got bad in the late 60s and 70s when many of the original population left.
little fact about Handsworth, in 2004-20010 it was one of the best areas to live in purely due to schools and being close to town, after 2011, it seems with more migrants moving in, the area became somewhat problematic even though it was gang ridden but the gangs never openly shot and killed people like they do now. in 2023-24 it is one of the most dangerous areas to live in. I lived there for 16 years, there is a massive drug, homeless and gangland issues as youth centres in handsworth were cut off, the rise in knife crime rocketed with gun crime and gun crime is high. Pakistanis and Jamaican gangs run two prominent gangs, johnson crew and burger bar boys. Handsworth, Handsworth wood, Lozells, Aston, Ladywood, Erdington and hockley are pretty much no go zones. Lot of Europeans specially from Romania and travellers from there have moved in the area, the gypsies will go through bins at night, the council has a massive corruption problem, labour leader mahmood was funneling money to his friends and many council leaders even now do the same thing, recently a taxi firm were charging bham council over 100k for 16 trips or so. Birmingham council is a joke, the area is also a big benefit street, watch the show benefit street based in winson green another area which is absolutely dangerous.
LIES LIES LIES . I lived in Handsworth wood for 10 years until 2020 and the things I’ve seen happen on the soho rd are nothing short then the stuff of Horror movies .
The burger bar crew original members got life sentences for the murders of the two young girls in the hair shop when they had a birthday party . The original Johnson crew big players also got life sentences for serious gang crime .
I live just up the road from there, and have to walk that street more than once a week for food. It’s not easy as the sense of community isn’t there, has you feeling like you’re in another country. Plenty of immigration lawyers, a Greggs just closed and another solicitor opened in its place, specialising in immigration cases yet again. Had no trouble going out at reasonable times but it feels mostly isolating. There’s a poster on nishkam pharmacy stating average life expectancy for males is 51 in the area. Mental
Damn, would have liked to drop that stat about life expectancy if I knew it. That’s so sad to hear, honestly, and it’s right there in plain sight. Oh, and if Greggs can’t survive that’s saying something! That said, I had a nice Falafel wrap from one of the takeaways when I was there.
What a dirty horrible area Soho Road, Handsworth has become. Decades ago I lived in Handsworth and it was a clean and safe place. Good neighbours and no crime. I can hardly believe what I am seeing here. This makes me so sad, I had a great time in Handsworth, lived in Station Road.
I lived on mayfield road down by lozels just down from the villa cross pub. Good times. Moved to West Bromwich in 78 . Some people had opened a brothal just across the road from our house. My dad said it’s time to move things are only going to get worse. He wasn’t wrong.
Soho Road 🙈 Awful mate… I used to drive up and down this road often at one point. It’s terrible…. So deprived and it’s certainly cosmopolitan. Well done for braving it!!! Top video …. Smithy
I often drove along Soho Road in Handsworth to get to Brumistan city centre. It has imported the third world and is an absolute shithole. This is what happens when your country is complicit in bringing in the Kalergi plan.
Haven't been down Soho Road in years as the traffic was ridiculous. Also Birmingham is the SECOND biggest city and Soho Road is IN Handsworth, nobody local calls it Soho. Also check out Erdington, especially Slade Road. It's more or less the same.
My mum lives just off there and she hates it bless her. Just rubbish everywhere can’t understand how people live like this. Littering is the one thing I hate the most.
Perry Barr native here. Moved to the countryside in a neighbouring Shire before settling down and having my own kids. When I grew up in the 90s, Birmingham was nowhere near this bad.
Look at how people treat their own country, some of these countries look like 💩 for a reason and people act surprised when they do this over here. Respect our country and our laws or dont be here
total shithole... but nothing new in the inner-cities...what is worrying is the fact that my town in Oxfordshire is being invaded ... in just 10 years... the indigenous population made up 98% of the population... that's down to about 70% now.
I am from Glasgow. I was talking to a taxi driver about how bad things are. Do you know what he said "its only Glasgow that is like that" as in over run with immigrants. Only Glasgow i asked. What! You mean the biggest city in Scotland 😂.this is a Scottish guy making excuses and playing down how bad things are. No joke if you got dropped off in govanhill Glasgow you would think you where in a 3 world muslim country.
I’ve worked there recently, there was no danger whatsoever, I didn’t feel intimidated. People looked really busy. Streets need a good clean up. Sensational journalism again.
I was born and raised in Birmingham. I've lived near Longbridge all my life. Handsworth has been the backdrop of riots in the 1980s and 2000s. Birmingham is a city comprised of so many towns and villages. Each with their own character. My area was devastated after the closure of MG Rover. Longridge town centre is built on the south steel stores where my late father used to work. Now it's a glorified shopping centre. Other deprived areas of the city are Aston, Nechells, parts of Erdington, Sparkhill and Sparkbrook. The more affluent areas are. Edgbaston, Harborne, Bournville, parts of King's Heath and Moseley. In the north you're looking around Sutton Coldfield, Wylde Green, Four Oaks and little Aston.
When I used to spend time in Handsworth in the 90s it was fun and exciting. A little on the rough side but genuinely exciting and interesting. The population was majority Indian Sikhs and Hindus, followed by Caribbean Black people and then there was a small minority of White people. And people got on. And people were proud of Handsworth. But the Whites died out. The Indians made money and moved to wealthier nicer parts nearby such as Handsworth Wood or Great Barr. And it seems most Black people under 30 were moved out by the council to areas on the edge of Birmingham. Sure Whites might still be seen around when West Brom are playing at home. Sure Indians still shop at Asian shops on Soho Road or use the temples. And Black people still congregate at Salons or pubs etc. But the population is now everything but those 3 groups. Thousands of people who have nothing in common with each other even animosity between each other... and no loyalty whatsoever to their new country. It's a mess. And the only old Handsworth people who still live in the area are either elderly White/Black/Indian folk who are too scared to go out... or younger degenerates living in HMOs
It’s amazing how Western leadership hates Russia with a passion. I’m beginning to think it’s because they can’t stand a country that has actual clean cities that show actual care and respect for place as well as showing real social cohesion. Russian cities, parks, gardens etc look like they are lovingly cared for. This type of care and love of place has died in so many Western countries. I just don’t get it. Western leaders are more obsessed with more wars than anything else. To look inward at what their cities have become and how it negatively affects the lives of people there is beyond them. It’s really the ultimate tragedy of our time.
Spot on post.The drivel spewing out by the main stream and so called alternative online news media is all about Labour victorys / the death of that Russian / how evil Putin is to distract us from the daily horror show that is our own uncontrolled borders and the impact its having on our community's
@@vipeton.8927 I’ve seen other Russian cities from small to large. All were far nicer than anything in the West currently. This is the most oft repeated routine when it comes to Russia. I live in the US and there are plenty of horrible slums here. Big cities that were once nice are crawling with predators and people who do not care about anything. A far cry from what they had been in the past. The spirit of the Russian people is real. It’s more than just the quality of their cities.
I really DO love your films, editing and presentation. You're brilliant at it. There IS no way back unfortunately and I am just glad that I am in the latter part of my life.....
I am from Pensnett, so I grew up in Dudley also had Family in Selly Oak, Birmingham. My Mother is from King's Heath too. Thankfully I left the West Midlands 22yrs ago live up north now but I am planning on returning to tie up loose ends. So these videos are very informative to me as I know what to expect.
They say that you should be proud of where you originate from, me , definitely not me. Birmingham used to resemble the Cotswolds.. what has gone wrong..
I was brought up here in Antrobus Road, about a mile or so from Soho Road. My walking to and from school consisted of trying to dodge the bullies from a rival school based in Handsworth Wood Road every single school day for five years.... On top of that we had racism, the riots, drugs, gangs, mental health and general antisocial behaviour.
I’m new to your channel I looked at this video in disgust really it’s sad to see such a Beautiful Country looking like trash. Diversity is ruining the Country, I live in Australia but I am a English born British Citizen. This is terrible it looks horrendous.
thanks...its totally soul destroying watching this..We lap this all up thanks to your immensely informative vids, but probably would rather not go there ourselves despite " the strength in diversity "
Even in the mid 1970's, Soho was not exactly "des. res". I used to live in a tiny terraced house in Bearwood, literally just up the road from here, and I NEVER visited Soho for very good reasons (especially so after dark!)
Seeing this makes me feel very fortunate to live in the Lake District. It's a low crime, high trust area. The demographics here in Cumbria are VERY different to the big cities.
I'm from st Paul's Bristol I moved out because of knife and gang crime. I like the quiet life and safety not having to look over my shoulder every 30 seconds.
@@garethking1639 you clearly aren't aware that our government restricts the number of medical students allowed each year! If we didn't import and exploit cheap migrant labour, then the pay for some of these less popular jobs would not be held artificially low, and we would do them - we have people who rely on doing low paid low skilled jobs, but can't whilst they are undercut by migrants.
@@everest9707 I was talking about highly skilled jobs within the NHS. The NHS is kept on its feet by foreign workers, Liz Truss crashed the economy and Brexit has harmed the economy, there’s no way that the country can afford to raise NHS salaries enough to make up for a lack of foreign staff. Even if they allowed more UK citizens to become doctors etc. Low skilled workers is another issue.
When sh*t goes in, then sh*t comes out. It does not matter how nice an area is, put a certain sort of people in it and within no time it will be a sh*t tip. That road was a lovely road to walk down and shop in the 50's and early to mid 60's. Woolworths, Foster Brothers, Robinsons Bakery, Timpsons, Butchers shops (Not Halal), an indoor market. Now the road is paved with rubbish, rotting vegetables and filth. Mind you if my wife ever decides she wants to start wearing Saris I will be spoiled for choice shop wise.
I recall visiting Birmingham regularly when I was younger about 40 to 50 years ago. It was a lovely clean place to visit and shop. What on earth has changed over the last few decades that has changed it into such a dump.

Also, we liked to feel oh, so superior to the bewildered people - usually in the poorest parts of Britain - who found their neighbourhoods suddenly transformed into supposedly "vibrant communities". If they dared to express the mildest objections, we called them bigots.
When we graduated and began to earn serious money, we generally headed for expensive London enclaves and became extremely choosy about where our children went to school, a choice we happily denied the urban poor, the ones we sneered at as "racists". What did we know, or care, of the great silent revolution which even then was beginning to transform the lives of the British poor?
To us, it meant patriotism and tradition could always be derided as "racist". And it also meant cheap servants for the rich new middle-class, for the first time since 1939, as well as cheap restaurants and - later on - cheap builders and plumbers working off the books. It wasn’t our wages that were depressed, or our work that was priced out of the market. Immigrants didn’t do the sort of jobs we did.
They were no threat to us. The only threat might have come from the aggrieved British people, but we could always stifle their protests by suggesting that they were modern-day fascists. I have learned since what a spiteful, self-righteous, snobbish and arrogant person I was (and most of my revolutionary comrades were, too)."

Handsworth has undergone a huge transition in terms of it's demographics over the last couple of decades and sadly this video is yet another reflection of the huge social and economic demise happening across Birmingham at the moment due to poor civic leadership.
When i attended college during the late 80's , i had friends who were Indian and Caribbean and would regularly pop down to see them socially , during that time it was primarily those two communities along with some Irish families that lived within the area and to be fair Soho road was quite vibrant, safe and cleaner back then , In fact Handsworth even had yearly carnival.
Fast forward a few decades later and this area has totally changed and experienced a huge influx of Roma gypsies , East and North Africans , Kurdish , Slovakians and other minorities while the older ethnic minorities have moved on and its also recently experienced a huge inward movement of indigenous so called "vulnerable" individuals primarily drug addicts , criminals , beggars , prostitutes plus other assorted dysfunctional undesirables all housed within the side roads along the main stretch hence the reason why this area has been on a downward spiral during the past few years and the real reason you see a lot of squalor and deprivation around this area is due to a new social housing boom called exempt housing or hmo's and they are proving to be a real scourge across the city at the moment , You literally cannot walk five minutes along this road and many others within Birmingham without hearing the ubiquitous "got any spare change" anthem , multiple individuals shouting and screaming at each other whilst swigging super strong beer cans or open drug taking in full view of the public , it's unreal , disturbing and truly dystopian then again its Birmingham 2024 sadly.
Whats sad is that its only going to get more worse
Having lived in India years ago, the littering is pretty similar. Real shame. There’s no longer that pride in your place. That takes years to form with the feeling of belonging.
I was pretty shocked to see some of the stuff going on in India. However Toronto is going the same way as they've had an influx from India and apparently the once nice beach is covered in rubbish and fecal matter.
Edit: forgot to say its the same in Australia. There's an area thats predominantly South Asian and same deal. Trash everywhere. Boxes stacked chest high on the edge of the road. Very dirty and grey with men hunched in doorways looking miserable like they're in Stoke on a rainy day.

If diversity is such as strength (according to that Labour councillor) then why did the council and police also highlight this area as bad?
Because it's an undefined strength. In "their" eyes, diversity is a "strength" because it's good at achieving the goals that they set out to use it for, namely weakening the social cohesion of the host (non-diverse) nation. So yes, "strength" but not in the way that you or I would use the term.
Also, keep up the good work!

As a Nigerian living in Nigeria who considers myself as an Anglophile, seeing videos like these break my heart.
Immigration is good but when it's too much it becomes a huge problem.
Many immigrants in Britain especially those from the middle east have refused to integrate into the British culture instead they want the British to integrate middle eastern culture.
I read somewhere that if the immigration to Britain continues at this rate, by the 2050s white British people will become minority in their ancestral land.
For the sake of your generations unborn, you the British must my make sure your policians reduce immigration drastically.
This is the most honest advice I can give as foreigner.

I used to go to school on Grove Lane, which is just off Soho Road.
As soon as I started watching, I knew I was looking at Soho Road even though I haven't been there in nearly 30 years.
That place is so dangerous.
I went to St Stephens Primary School just down on Nineveh Road in the 70s....
I live in a "overspill town" with large estates that were built in the 60s for Birmingham people to move out to. I know several people who lived in Handsworth in the 50s and 60s and say how nice the area had been.One woman remembered servants opening the door when they used to go Carol singing in an area of Handsworth. It seems from what i was told the decline got bad in the late 60s and 70s when many of the original population left.
It started to get really bad in the 80's now it's out of control
My mom grew up in Winson Green in the 40s and 50s, she tells me that Handsworth and Alum Rock were then considered posh areas. X

@@RoundTheWrekinBabAlum Rock was posh😂😂, chatting shit
Sick and tired of it all now
little fact about Handsworth, in 2004-20010 it was one of the best areas to live in purely due to schools and being close to town, after 2011, it seems with more migrants moving in, the area became somewhat problematic even though it was gang ridden but the gangs never openly shot and killed people like they do now. in 2023-24 it is one of the most dangerous areas to live in. I lived there for 16 years, there is a massive drug, homeless and gangland issues as youth centres in handsworth were cut off, the rise in knife crime rocketed with gun crime and gun crime is high. Pakistanis and Jamaican gangs run two prominent gangs, johnson crew and burger bar boys. Handsworth, Handsworth wood, Lozells, Aston, Ladywood, Erdington and hockley are pretty much no go zones. Lot of Europeans specially from Romania and travellers from there have moved in the area, the gypsies will go through bins at night, the council has a massive corruption problem, labour leader mahmood was funneling money to his friends and many council leaders even now do the same thing, recently a taxi firm were charging bham council over 100k for 16 trips or so. Birmingham council is a joke, the area is also a big benefit street, watch the show benefit street based in winson green another area which is absolutely dangerous.
LIES LIES LIES . I lived in Handsworth wood for 10 years until 2020 and the things I’ve seen happen on the soho rd are nothing short then the stuff of Horror movies .
The burger bar crew original members got life sentences for the murders of the two young girls in the hair shop when they had a birthday party . The original Johnson crew big players also got life sentences for serious gang crime .
spot the white man
I live just up the road from there, and have to walk that street more than once a week for food.
It’s not easy as the sense of community isn’t there, has you feeling like you’re in another country.
Plenty of immigration lawyers, a Greggs just closed and another solicitor opened in its place, specialising in immigration cases yet again.

There’s a poster on nishkam pharmacy stating average life expectancy for males is 51 in the area. Mental
Damn, would have liked to drop that stat about life expectancy if I knew it. That’s so sad to hear, honestly, and it’s right there in plain sight. Oh, and if Greggs can’t survive that’s saying something! That said, I had a nice Falafel wrap from one of the takeaways when I was there.

I was born and raised in Birmingham. I've lived near Longbridge all my life. Handsworth has been the backdrop of riots in the 1980s and 2000s. Birmingham is a city comprised of so many towns and villages. Each with their own character. My area was devastated after the closure of MG Rover. Longridge town centre is built on the south steel stores where my late father used to work. Now it's a glorified shopping centre.
Other deprived areas of the city are Aston, Nechells, parts of Erdington, Sparkhill and Sparkbrook. The more affluent areas are. Edgbaston, Harborne, Bournville, parts of King's Heath and Moseley. In the north you're looking around Sutton Coldfield, Wylde Green, Four Oaks and little Aston.
Leicester city centre is now borderline 3rd world sadly.
When I used to spend time in Handsworth in the 90s it was fun and exciting. A little on the rough side but genuinely exciting and interesting. The population was majority Indian Sikhs and Hindus, followed by Caribbean Black people and then there was a small minority of White people. And people got on. And people were proud of Handsworth.
But the Whites died out.
The Indians made money and moved to wealthier nicer parts nearby such as Handsworth Wood or Great Barr.
And it seems most Black people under 30 were moved out by the council to areas on the edge of Birmingham.
Sure Whites might still be seen around when West Brom are playing at home.
Sure Indians still shop at Asian shops on Soho Road or use the temples.
And Black people still congregate at Salons or pubs etc.
But the population is now everything but those 3 groups. Thousands of people who have nothing in common with each other even animosity between each other... and no loyalty whatsoever to their new country.
It's a mess.
And the only old Handsworth people who still live in the area are either elderly White/Black/Indian folk who are too scared to go out... or younger degenerates living in HMOs
It’s amazing how Western leadership hates Russia with a passion. I’m beginning to think it’s because they can’t stand a country that has actual clean cities that show actual care and respect for place as well as showing real social cohesion. Russian cities, parks, gardens etc look like they are lovingly cared for. This type of care and love of place has died in so many Western countries. I just don’t get it. Western leaders are more obsessed with more wars than anything else. To look inward at what their cities have become and how it negatively affects the lives of people there is beyond them. It’s really the ultimate tragedy of our time.
Spot on post.The drivel spewing out by the main stream and so called alternative online news media is all about Labour victorys / the death of that Russian / how evil Putin is to distract us from the daily horror show that is our own uncontrolled borders and the impact its having on our community's

@@vipeton.8927 I’ve seen other Russian cities from small to large. All were far nicer than anything in the West currently. This is the most oft repeated routine when it comes to Russia. I live in the US and there are plenty of horrible slums here. Big cities that were once nice are crawling with predators and people who do not care about anything. A far cry from what they had been in the past. The spirit of the Russian people is real. It’s more than just the quality of their cities.

By the way, Birmingham is the second city in the UK.
Even in the mid 1970's, Soho was not exactly "des. res". I used to live in a tiny terraced house in Bearwood, literally just up the road from here, and I NEVER visited Soho for very good reasons (especially so after dark!)
