The plot ALWAYS thickens...
- Morning_star1
Adventurer and nice chap Ed Stafford has put together a three part series documenting some of the UKs deprived, inner city areas. The first is based in London and the second in Birmingham, both are available on the Channel 4 player (Link below). The last episode is out next week.
Whilst I don't subscribe to the perspective that 'the UK is fucked', the episodes i've seen certainly highlight that it isn't just the policies of those capitialist-mother-fuckers-in-We... that lead to slum estates.
Have a watch if you want, or don't. I'm not your mum.

- You're in for a treat Lozells, Handsworth, Aston and Newtown :)Morning_star
- I went to school there KE Aston. Oh the stories. Having to be sent home during the riots... the relentless muggings, well £1 taxings lol. Other schools thoughtfadein11
- Single women, no father, no job, council house... multiple kids... why didn't they close their legs after the first offspring?shapesalad
- we were posh boys but half the school was from the near locality. 2 Busses each way a day though from Kings Heath just to go to a good grammar school.fadein11
- Not sure I'd inflict that on my kids at 11 years of age.fadein11
- Anyway, will watch.fadein11
- I understand that all too we’ll Fade, both my kids travelled out to Hagley every day to go to a good school.Morning_star

‘The culture has changed’: end of the boom for Birmingham’s Balti Triangle
- grew up walking distance from it.fadein11
- The food standards agency spelt their doom back in the 90s. The best places were the BYOB, garden furniture and naans the size of tables. RIP The Royal Naweed.Morning_star
- ha morning, The Royal Naweed was one of my faves with my older brother when I was about 13fadein11
- Ladypool Road? a bit above the triangle?fadein11
- That's the puppy. Magnificent food. They had a boss eyed waiter who looked like Chris Cornell. We called him Crispy Cornea.Morning_star
- lol... so funny we went to the same place. it closed about 4-5 years ago I thinkfadein11

Luton:
Glasgow and Manchester:
- Have you been to Glasgow?
There's enough sectarian comedy madness there already. Not to say there hasn't been some incidentsPhanLo - There's alot to be said for monocultures. Scotland was better prior to the tattie famine, Ireland the Plantation etc.zardoz
- Nae melting pothotroddy
- Well, you'd be surprised Hotrods, my area is a mix of Africans, Chinese, Polish, Indian, Irish, English, etc etc, cultural melting pot bingo.PhanLo
- I was at our local gala day last weekend and noticed someone had spraypainted 'Where are the Scots?' on a wall. Fox news stylePhanLo
- Edinburgh is England :)

- If you've not eaten ass or eaten Greggs, can you even say you've lived?PhanLo
- Cheese and onion pasties. Not a thing at all in Aus but how I miss them. In my memory a British town is not complete without a Greggs and a Carphone Warehouse.MrT

This is quite amusing..
"This website shows every grubby food outlet in the UK.
What defines "grubby", you ask? Any business that has failed its latest food hygiene inspection (according to official Food Standards Agency data)."

Turns out the two cafes near our house that I've never been into but are very popular with the locals have a zero and one rating, lol
- Why is it listing mini-market/convenie... stores? The ones near me sell just junk food, cola and chocolate bars, they don't make food.shapesalad
- Loads of 0s, 1s, and 2s in the 500 metre radius surrounding where I lived in Old Street. But, then, I didn't need this map to tell me this, either. Ew.Continuity
- Eh, Kingsland Road, not Old Street. Need more caffeine, apparently.Continuity
- Loads of convenience stores sell heated food you muppet.fadein11
- interestingly the 3 near me I have also never visitedfadein11
- lol... dont eat in WalthamstowBluejam
- ^ That actually sounds like some weird web series. Nairn, steal the title and sample Walthamstow's worst.garbage
- Only one near me, never been, interesting Google reviews; "refused to give me my money back for a drink that I didn't order. Terrible customer service."webazoot
- Thankfully my favourite red salt fries and chicken place in Liverpool never made the list. Quite a few other ones on the street did thoughPhanLo
- Lol @ garbageBluejam
- Look at the data https://pantryandlar…shapesalad
- Best rated: #1 Western fast food. #2 English Fish+Chips. #3 European Italian Pizza.shapesalad
- Worse rated: #1 Chicken Shop. #2 Indian. #3 Chinese. #4 Kebab.shapesalad
- I think this data is racist and misrepresenting the UK's diversity.shapesalad
- Dame Steven Lawrence's mum needs to launch an enquiry!zardoz
- Haha the oaktree cafe (0 rating) is where all the bin men go on a friday. Its a see of flouro roange and trucks outsidewoowahesque

- Birmingham is approx 70%(ish White British to add clarity to this ridiculous report, on a ridiculous station, 6 months old and wholly derided at the time.fadein11
- Great clickbait thoughfadein11
- Also, none of us fucking cares.
You're a fucking spacker, shape.Continuity - It's becoming increasingly obvious why your ex-wife decided it was time to get well away from you.Continuity
- B'ham is 43% White British according to the numbers i'm looking at.zardoz
- The "minority" figure now numbers 51.3%. Enoch_Powell.jpegzardoz
- apologies 70% British born, but White British still by far the biggest ethnic group.fadein11
- So not the minority at all.fadein11
- "According to the 2011 census 57.9% of people in Birmingham are White. Asian and Asian British people make up the next largest group, with 26.6%"fadein11
- https://populationda…fadein11
- Census data says pretty much the same also.fadein11
- *latest 2021 data, British white by far the biggest ethnic groupfadein11
- Are you scared, Shape? Vote BNP or UKIP?Ianbolton
- shape "i'm not racist i just don't like my apartment smelling like curry" saladkingsteven
- You lot are triggered. I am not racist. I not against multi-culturalism. I am against seeping unmanaged mass migration that create more problems than it solves.shapesalad
- You lot are too ready to point fingers and throw accusations of racist at anyone that pushes back on this extreme left wing diversity agenda at play.shapesalad
- Go look at the official census data. It looks more like the war maps of Russia taking Ukraine. In any other guise you’d say it was an invasion.shapesalad
- My issue it is not managed it is not diverse, it is two main cultures / races seeping into the Uk and taking over.shapesalad
- extreme left wing immigration agenda? The tories have been in power for 13 years and New Labour were arguably centre right lol. You are clueless.fadein11
- And as that lady on the tv show about the kings coronation said “terribly white”... yep. Your diversity is just as racist as the whites.shapesalad
- We’re tribal by evolution. Deal with it. I’m not stabbing someone or denying them a home or living. I’m saying the country is mismanaged.shapesalad
- 'I am not racist.' FLOL!
You are demonstrably racist, you sack of shit.
Fuck off.Continuity - lol at accusing "you lot" of being triggered, you are an imbecile in a perma-triggered state of negativity and deluded nonsense.fadein11
- SS, maybe Britain is not for you. Have you considered moving to a less diverse country?palimpsest
- shape "im not racist because i only hate the two main cultures / races seeping into the UK" saladkingsteven
- The 2021 census shows whitey to be a minority.zardoz

- Bullshit.
The metal covers on utilities/comms/sewe... access are covered with sand to stop the horses from slipping.Morning_star - ^Yep, that's true. Middle of London I imagine has really good roads. As least sausage fingers never felt a bump on his little nonce day.PhanLo
- woah 17 metal road covers in 10 meters... cool story brofadein11
- @fadein11 Have a look at another angle.. https://westbridgfor…Morning_star
- square potholes.. remarkable.zardoz
- @morning, yeah I see potholes and road covers, not that I care about any of them hafadein11
- Bullshit.

"Mad royalist Alice Chambers got down to the Mall early and got a good spot to watch the zombie procession. However at 9am the Met slapped the bracelets on her and she was carted off to the cells. Unknowingly, she’d been standing next to Just Stop Oil protesters and got swept up in the pre-crime round-up. She was searched, asked repeatedly why she was on the Mall, banged up in a cell, had her DNA, fingerprints and mugshot taken. Not released till 10pm, she missed the whole thing. “I hadn’t heard of Just Stop Oil until today I feel like once I was in the system they didn’t listen.”
Priceless."

- They should redo the badges in that Thundercats style.zardoz
- Because they have slave ships on them?jmckinno
- This like not tipping the uber driver that brought the ethnic minorities to the party.shapesalad
- @jmckinno The city grew primarily because of the textile industry made from cotton brought on ships from slave plantations in Africa/America.Hayzilla
- Basically every city in Britain had ships with ill gotten gains on them at some point in time.Hayzilla
- I'm always surprised by a city so far inland celebrating it's nautical history. Mental.Hayzilla
- or every merchant ship today carrying goods made with child and slave labour. This is the dumbest campaign ever._niko
- but the badges should be redesigned because they're shit._niko
- Crazier still that Portsmouth, Liverpool, Dover, Felixstowe & Southampton clubs don't reference ships at all.Hayzilla
