Bald and Bankrupt is a hypocrite! Soho Road Birmingham

- Famous youtuber Bald and Bankrupt does a series on worst areas of the UK and he declares Soho Road Birmingham as one of the worst roads.
Obviously, it's an agenda driven to maximise viewership and getting reactions by senationalising a controversy.
I have done a video to show actual Soho Road, bazaar, market, business hub that employs many and genrate substantial revenue.
watch the video till the end and let me know your thoughts.
I went to school just off Soho Road for eight years, and had to wait on Soho Road to catch the bus home. It was alright if you were in a group, but very sketchy if you were alone. I was mugged three times, and a gang of youths chased my friends and I with sticks once just for being white.
My best friend lives in Lozells, so we sometimes used to walk along Soho Road together. People used to heckle us as we walked by, sometimes leaning out of their cars as they drove past, to yell "coconut" at him (brown on the outside, white on the inside) for hanging around with white kids.
These were not just other kids, they were often adults, and it was quite frightening.
I went there not so long ago to visit a nearby business, and people were yelling at me out of their cars as they drove past. One group drove up to me and asked if I wanted to buy drugs.
I appreciate what you are trying to do, and the business owners you interviewed seemed like decent people, but Soho Road is not a nice place.
Maybe it's a different experience if you're not white.
Soho road is a shit hole just like Smethwick, Handsworth, ladywood and more. The streets are disgusting yous do not understand what bins are used for
I am a former Birmingham resident and sometimes visited the Soho Road and have purchased Barfi other Foods and Arts.
But crime figures do not lie. If you live somewhere you become acclimatised to your surroundings and see those activities as normal. I know it is a dangerous area at night and remember hearing back in the 1990s from the Police saying to make sure you keep your car doors locked while driving through and gang crime is rife in the greater Handsworth area also around their is a proliferation of HMOs with assisted living and all the associated problems they bring.
I am not saying its one of the worst roads in the UK but I would like to hear your views on what the worst roads in the UK are ?
I totally agree with what you have put
Best cities UK - Liverpool, Glasgow, London. Worst cities UK - Bristol, Sheffield, Birmingham
London too has its dark areas.
@@DesiAbroadUK agreed and it's too expensive these days
Lots of memories of this place growing up. Memories that are set in stone, how life changes and we forget where we came from.
How to feel unsafe as a national of your own country.. birrmingham is only second to london as a failed city!
Wow, I used watch this guy, so his real colours came out.
I would not take B&B opinion seriously! We all have opinions, and he could have said more offensive comments. Truth-be-told there are many areas in Birmingham which are deprived, poverty-striken and run-down. Soho road is definitely one of those areas. Yes it may have some nice indian shops, but it has gotten much worse in the last 30-40 years or so. Soho road used to be one of the main indian streets in the UK, but given the huge influx of Asians, its appeal is not the same as it used to be, the same as southall where these areas as mentioned have increased considerably in crime. I myself would not want to live there and for most people. I think only certain generational indians/south asians would live in Soho road, or new immigrants who do not want to assimilate. If you are offended by a youtubers comment, good you didnt experience the UK in the 1960s till 1980s where racism existed and was the norm, much more than the 2000s. Btw great videos! :) hope you go on more holidays soon
Thank you. As said in the video I really like Bald and Bankrupts videos and tbh, I don't disagree with him in entirety.
I try to make entertaining videos...maybe one day I will make better videos...lol.
Thanks for your comment.
@@DesiAbroadUK you make very good videos, keep making great videos especially the holiday videos :)
I happen to enjoy some of Bald's videos most are in tongue in cheek no doubt, but is Soho Rd Birmingham dangerous?
It's not most dangerous. There are problems but there are worse areas than Soho Road :)
@@DesiAbroadUK Fair point, i will just borrow one of Westminster's Constabulary's tactical weapons for protection, just in case if things get out of hand.
@@davidtaylor2152 🤣🤣🤣
Hypocrite for saying what the camera was seeing. As they say, the camera never lies
You have made England into India dont you get it.
Birmingham the 2nd worst city after London rip great Britain 😢
Because these are the main places where Asian Pakistani community reside
Handsworth is a shithole it used to be clean 20/30 years ago im Punjabi btw
That location is not "far away" from soho road. Its at the top end of the soho road and the area at the start is just off the soho road with all the rubbish on the floor....actually.
It's called 'entertainment' I know a huge percentage of the shop / business owners don't actually live in the area themselves as their wealth has allowed them to live in leafier more affluent posher suburbs.
Let's not kid ourselves Soho rd and the wider area of Handsworth has it's fair share of problems. The independent businesses are not the cheapest or best value for money and there is a lot of social issues with drug abuse/ poverty.
Yes, entertainment but it can affect hardworking businesses and employment generation. I felt ,it was very biased. I don't disagree with the fact that problems are there and representatives don't do enough, however, high street is good and generate far more money compared to many other high street
Exactly my own thoughts, most of these traders no longer live in the area and have moved out to leafier more affluent suburbs
@@DesiAbroadUKit’s the trade off of a higher gdp for the assassination of a pre-existing culture that is the problem for the average English voter. We don’t see a busy high street as worth it for what’s happening
If Ganesh is a God for Hindu, why use it to advertise a shop? Isn't that commercialising something sacred to you?
Happens in every religion. He has been to India, he should have known.
I actually like Birmingham
Non Muslims hate the living standards in alum rock, Stechford, small heath, ward end, bordesley green, spark brook and everywhere else you can name 😂🎉its such a mess and 9/10 houses on most roads now are foreigners 1st 2nd 3rd gen. I live in alum rock so I know it for a fact 😂🎉
There are more videos out there featuring the Soho Road.
From Backpacker Ben, Wendall, Joe Fish and Going Globull to name a few all giving their own insight.
The strength of the Soho Road and what it specifically shares with the North Laines in Brighton is the huge range of independent businesses.
North Laines is seen as one of the best shopping in the UK. Not just for diversity but inclusivity.
Could Birmingham Pride travel down Soho Road ????
Just today I was shopping in North Laines and an independent cake shop had a window display with cookies decorated with Eid Mubarak. Encompassing all communities.
Pride question is worth asking.
terrible area
YOU ARE RIGHT! He doesn't know anything about Soho Road, The multiculturalism in Soho Road, the vibe, the busyness, all the different foods, Kurdish, Indian, Chinese etc so sad that they can try just defame our community
Why don't you guys come back to India? We are Vishwaguru now.
Lol. Bhai tu kahan hai?
Gaurav Pandey you bring such a valid point
Thank you sir. I will do the book review soon
The critic has also missed out the number of jobs created by the businesses present there, the amount of taxes the businesses pay, and what does he mean British we are in global envrionment, tottally unacceptable is Curse words Shame on him !!!@@DesiAbroadUK
