Xela Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I can see myself moving away from Birmingham in the next couple of years. I work remotely more now and as long as I show my face in Brum HQ 1 or 2 days a week I would be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah there was an operation, I heard about it on the radio. Liverpool is a very unique city in so many ways. Gun crime is off the scale up there, and it’s unique in that it’s white males shooting white males. Very similar to Glasgow in that it’s mainly white gangs going around stabbing and shooting each other. Birmingham gun crime is 99% Black and Asian gangs I’d bet.

A teenage female victim of any colour killed in a seemingly random attack is always going go get more column inches than a teenage lad who got killed during a drug/gang scuffle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the best, but in terms of getting people out after work in the city centre, its one of only 2 options (other being Hen 'n' Chickens) My favourite, I think, is Special Spices in Great Barr, closely followed by The New Talbot in Wednesbury and the New Soho Tavern in Hockley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was in a park with her friends while two youths were lurking nearby. The two leave and return 30 minutes later where one stabs her in the back without saying anything. No argument or fight. No motive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
