[@rrowell4163]

The answer begins with the landlords who no longer live in these areas They buy the properties & only care about maximizing profit even if it means they & the tenants running down the property .The more tenants crammed into one property the more rent to fatten the landlords pockets for the next purchasing of another property to rent ,the cycle continues .They will cut corners to make as much money as possible .When the tenants leave especially due to falling behind with rent the landlords simply dump the old & trashed fridges & mattresses etc & replace with pretty much old & cheap second hand furniture Instead of taking the old trashed furniture to recycling centres the landlords drive around early hours of morning and dump it on street corners If they renovate the property they often won't pay for a skip to place the rubbish & old furniture in They dump things anywhere during the night The owners of shops also drive around and dump there rubbish - because they don't want to pay the extra fees to have there own rubbish collected .They also rent part of the shops to tenants .Go figure if landlords put cleanliness over profit they would not rent to mucky tenants Both tenants ,landlords & shop owners are chiefly behind the dumping & fly tipping .It only takes a small amount of tenants ,landlords & local shop owners to make a road or area look unkempt.

The local residents who are essentially foreigners from "Asia" do not communicate with their council or each other, regarding crime and litter and upkeep. As the old saying goes "They would probably walk over a dead body before taking the time or even considering they have a sense of duty to report it". Western style of culture has always had a system in place that instills A SENSE OF DUTY to report and communicate such issues. Asia not so much at all. So, yes, the locals are to blame. From what I see, all the garbage and fly tipping happen in areas where Asian businesses flourish. You must call it out as you see it. Do not allow them to insult your community.

[@Jattyaaa]

So you go the shittiest pub in handsworth when you had a nice one next door 😂😂

[@honestplaces]

It's my guily pleasure

[@McNasty214]

You go to parts of wash wood heath, spark rook and see stuff like dirty nappies on street. Horrible 🤢

[@dentydent6423]

Just subbed,love pub reviews and walking vids so keep it going mate

[@peakyblinder777]

Blimey she poured that Guinness like a bull in a china shop 😮

[@honestplaces]

🤣

[@marknewellmusic]

I literally said "Oh no!" Out loud watching that Guinness be poured out in one go to be over flowing. Not sure which sight was most disturbing, the rubbish on the streets everywhere nearby or the pint pour... Even the KZbin ad revenue doesn't ease that pain enough - thanks for taking the hit for those that watch. I still think I'm gonna need counselling for witnessing that Guinness pour though. The pour was a hate crime for sure.

What do all these shit places have in common 🤔

[@martindoyle7077]

Small heaths the same sparkbrook what does it tell you

[@kennethausten]

I have neighbours in Wales that moved out of Birmingham due to the filthy neighbours. They were from another country and were chucking raw meat out the windows to feed the rats. They said it was hell. They had no idea of cleanliness. But it got worse as more moved in and lived in Dirt. They complained to council, but nothing done. So sold the house to move to South Wales.

[@Gillem7513]

Look at all the new high-spec Mercs, BMWs, and Audis parked outside the houses!

[@WeAreTheFallPod]

Glad to have found your videos. Makes us feel like we're there as well. Let us know when you want to grab a pint in Chicago or Austin, Texas. Cheers!

Soho/Handsworth is no more representative of Birmingham as a whole as Moss Side is of Manchester or Toxteth is of Liverpool

[@patrickmohan2220]

So, that's why Black Sabbath sounded the way they did.

[@juliejr]

There is no doubt that you walked in a bad area. I personally would never walk those streets alone. But there are many many parts of Birmingham that are much nicer, just like all towns and cities .

[@kevinharrison543]

You can go to the Northern suburbs of Paris which are much worse than Handsworth and a virtual no go area for the Police but does that mean the whole of Paris should be a 'no go zone'

[@CHE33TS]

shocking, at 1st you think it would be kids mucking about but it deeper routed than that, Brum is done for BITD those areas would have been well looked after and had a community and that Guinness pint ooof bad pour

[@chrismyatt2455]

The Black Eagle is an Oasis in that toilet, they do excellent steaks and sell a proper decent pint :)

[@stephenduckham9736]

I work with someone who was telling me all about this, certain 'communities' just throw big stuff out on the street and the council have NO CHOICE but to go and pick it up. The people in this country that go on about diversity should be forced to live in these places for a week and then we can listen to their reassessment of where Britain is heading.

[@neilsg2001]

How about a balanced video tgat show both sides of the coin. This content is a little naive.

[@nitromorse]

1:20 don’t believe that, this guy waits for the council to run a bin strike then runs down to these affected areas with his camera to claim it’s the fault of the people rather than the council. Even in the gated community I live similar strikes caused piles of uncollected trash and fly tipping, the only reason it got cleaned up is because ground management paid for their own private bin collection otherwise it would end up looking just as bad.

England's third city is an absolute dump

[@clario2178]

You’re right Manchester is a dump

[@annemariewarburton1826]

2nd city

[@k.avilla8061]

England's second city (Brum) has inner city 'culturally diverse' suburbs like these that are a dump. But this is not 'Birmingham' per se. The city centre is nice; so is Edgbaston, Moseley, Bournville, sutton coldfield etc..

[@gymbruh1824]

​@@clario2178I promise u there's no where like this in mcr

[@clario2178]

@@gymbruh1824 city centre full of skanks

[@paulhanson5164]

The city covers over 100 square miles, the urban area covers 350 square miles, if you are going to be honest about places show the best and the worst, not just the few worst streets you can find.

What’s the point of paying council tax

[@honestplaces]

I know!

[@SMARVEN]

Nice video mate, it’s an absolute kip. I’m Irish and live in Stoke last few years, can’t believe the amount of rubbish compared to Ireland, really is mind boggling

[@markjuett2068]

Absolutely love your content. More vlogs please . Keep going and thankyou. Im wating for a pub nor to serve you

Cheers pal, appreciate it 👍

@honestplaces I Need to see you get barred. Lol

I was born in Birmingham. I left young, but I was back often for long periods at my nans in Acocks Green throughout childhood. In those days every kid on the street was named Declan, or Patrick, or Sean etc, it was all Birmingham Irish and English and it was clean, and we played football on the streets. Now I'd be taking my life in my hands walking down my street. It's a 3rd world shit hole. It's Pakistan. I've been in Australia for 35 years, but now they're repeating the Birmingham experiment here. I'd like to go back to my family in Galway, but its the same there too. Third world shit holes.
