This Is One of Uk’s ‘SUPER-DIVERSE’, Dangerous Areas to AVOID

- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- In this video, I’m going to take you on a quick tour of one of the most diverse, dangerous, and infamous Roads in Birmingham -- and that’s Soho Road in Handsworth.
Known for being the red light district, a drug dealers' haven, and a violent place at night, Soho Road is the perfect example of everything that’s wrong with this country, all in one melting pot.
For those who aren’t super familiar with Birmingham, it’s the third biggest city in the UK and also one of two ‘super diverse’ cities in the UK as ethnic minorities now represent more than 50% of the city’s population.
Hope you enjoy the video, feel free to drop any comments and I'll probably get back to you, cheers!

Birmingham is the second biggest city in the UK, not the third biggest.
Diversity is our strength, compassion is our weakness.

Soho Road has been a shithole since the 1960s.
Isn't it nice to see our country turning into a third world country .
Soul destroying.
They make the new country look just like the old country, so they feel right at home.
All planned to destroy our nationality & culture
It hurts 😢
that's about it mate. So so sad
Yeah what is the end goal of 'diversity'? We've lost so much so who has gained? It seems like everything is just infinitely worse for everyone.
Tony Blair gained. And Theresa May.

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.

Achieves equity with other shithole countries. Can't fix those so so bring the better ones down to the same level
on the plus side you used to have to travel abroad to see slums but not its right on your doorstep.
How long before we see favela style buildings eh!
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.
Ditto. Mrs Patrick
Partially true but Indians don't have problems with integration but Pakistanis wants to create Pakistan where ever they go
Found that myself neither ever wanted to mix, but Indians were ok as long as you were.
@@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.
@@pinxtownington4645indians are no different to pakistanis
Only two more billion to go. I'm not joking, l asked a migrant how many Africans and Asians would come here if Europe opened its borders. He replied, "all of them. In twenty years Britain will be a Muslim country".
I,ll say 10.

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.
You forgot to mention the Propganda that is used everyday against our children that is taught in schools and work places everyday.
@RonaldShea5680: well said 👏🏻
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.
you gets what you voted for......dont blame the politicians.
Birmingham was a friendly and vibrant city . A crying shame 😮
Locals in Birmingham are not friendly they are racist and areas are segregated and divided.
Birmingham never been nice older generations have always been racist and hostile and younger generations are no better in Birmingham people don't like integration or changes .

"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)."

Trying to mix different cultures is like trying to mix toxic chemicals; at some point they will combust.
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.

You worry abt your own country son !!
Nigeria is one of the worst countries to life in and you are more worried about some foreign land 😂😂
Thank you sir, I wholeheartedly agree. Most of the tourists say the same as you whether they are from Japan, the USA or Nigeria.

None of the above is as serious as immigrants coming to take over the affairs of the land from the natives.
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 😢
Birmingham is very racist and segregated in areas. locals are rude, and no one in Birmingham and west midlands care everyone out for themselves. Place has always been a dump
Birmingham is hostile and segregated no integration everyone is demented that lives in Birmingham.

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.

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!
He won't say anything different because he wants their votes.
It's not a strength but a weakness
I mean the Conservatives have allowed 750,000+ people to migrate to the UK, so it’s both the Conservatives and Labour have a lot to answer for..
@@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.

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
"Diverse". 😂 Every year the quote marks get stronger.

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?

Coming to a town near you...
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
It looks like a rubbish tip, not very "green" is it.
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.
Same, I lived in Antrobus Road.....
I live in Birmingham & there's nothing honest about Soho road
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.

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 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.
What a horrendous, disgusting place.
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 .

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.

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 would be interesting to see how Brierley Hill is looking these days.

Birmingham is Britain’s second largest city - not the third largest city
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.
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.
Well when you have white women pushing out mix race kids with blacks and grow up with identity issues not good in the UK.
After seeing the political issues this week I'm even more worried than I was at the state of the country. Are we already our own minority state ??

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..
Birmingham didn't resemble the Cotswolds even in the Cretaceous period you berk.
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....

Birmingham has never been nice its always been run down dirty neglected as a city even locals don't care and people are not united Birmingham has always been segregated and divided locals are rude and everyone is miserable in Birmingham and west midlands.
Same with Glasgow.
I used to live around there just over 40 years ago..... It's never been a "great place" 😐
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.....
Twitter has Soho Road trending at the moment - horrendous accident. Car just ploughs in, at speed, into the back of slow moving vehicles.
Yeah I read about that. Didn’t say why the driver hit that stationary car, super sad to read it happened, devastating for those involved.
Looks like a slightly cleaner version of southern California , Emphasis on slightly !
I think that’s a compliment 😂
There will come a time when native Brits (who can ) will have to decide whether to leave the country simply for safety and sanity sake
Where are we supposed to go, though? 🤔

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!)
0:51 Birmingham is the UK's SECOND largest city, not the third. That's why it's called the second city.
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.
Doesnt look as bad as that crack street i once walked down in Bristol. 😂 Prpnley dusty Stoke. Nor the litter as bad as in Northampton. Congratulations on not being murdered..
Just got out of Northampton getting worse every year.
Happening in my town right now, local population was predominantly indigenous but now it’s being slowly invaded by the usual suspects,
Please help change this.

And share it!
Cheers 👍
Yes because there are plenty of UK born doctors, nurses, carers and pharmacists to look after an increasingly sick and elderly population.
@@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.
I lived close to there a couple of years ago near the prison, whilst i never had much issue walking up soho road (to go to lidl) i never went there at night time.
Love the videos!
Thanks, mate!
Went to college on Soho road in 90s and someone got shot in KFC across road , it been crap hole for over 40years
Growing up this was a sweet spot for community and an integrated sharing of culture.
The councils (and families involved in them) clearly ransacked its wealth for personal gains and fortune to leave what we now bear witness to.
And they’ll likely get more money.
Our local council stands well below this par though from what I’m aware.
I was born and bred in Handsworth and moved out over 30 years ago. I never visit the area and do not feel welcome there. This is sad as I have a ton of childhood memories here from the 60s and 70s which I cannot revisit like Soho Rd, Handsworth Park, College Road, my old school in Oxhill Rd etc.... The place looks twenty times worse than when I was there and it was a crime ridden dump then. Thanks a lot to everyone who has created this mess..... 👍👍👍
Yeah, I’ve spoken to retired police officers and people who have lived in the areas for decades; they all say the same thing, it’s gotten a lot worse over the years and has accelerated in recent years. It’s sad.
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.
