Do you think the bin men work on the street lights?! Or are you saying one out all out! Everything should grind to a halt if one unit of the council is on strike?

It's all tax money. You have to remember that this council is the most in debt in the country..

....So, you've got zero money. You're binmen are on strike and the town is an absolute cess pit that could be causing serious harm to tax paying residents

do you..

Fix bin problem?

Or piss around with street lights that are fully working, that just so happens to be at a time you've moaned about English flags, but are happy to spend money 'lighting' up libraries and throwing another countries independence day parties

I know. I'm flummoxed too, these are tough choices

My council is just as fucking useless. They'll do absolutely anything other than fix problems.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Birmingham city council is broke because it's been milked dry. Probably to build mosques in the middle east.

Have you read into what they've been up to? It's actually incredible

We really have let lunatics run the asylum.

To play devil's advocate, upgrades for energy efficiency usually attract grant money. It reduces revenue spend aswell. To be honest it is much better and safer than simply turning off street lights as some councils have.

However, that doesn't mean entirely frustrating and counter moves aren't made in other areas (like lighting up buildings at night).

 

[Dr.Morris79]

True, but it's so far down the rabbit hole that council that it's going to take some of the worst (..Or best, depends how you view it) solutions to even start to get it back on track.

The benefit spend there must be astronomical, for a start

All of this nonsense is obfuscation of what's really going on. But the numbers never lie, and my god, those numbers!

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

I don't really appreciate people who don't live in Europe lecturing us on what's going on in Europe.

[Donald mac Ronald]

You should get a job as a ragebait writer.

You're spouting nonsense. Here's a post from Reddit that puts things into a non British Front perspective -


Corrections for the article for the Birmingham Library part

• Birmingham Library was lit up for Pakistan Independence day.
• The picture used is not the Indian flag colours but from Remembrance day, Red for the poppy. https://www.birmingham.gov.uk/blog/library-news/post/1512/lighting-up-the-library-for-remembrance
• The people who requested it changed for the day paid £500 + £300 multicolour fee, so the council made money on it. https://www.birmingham.gov.uk/downloads/file/10286/lighting_the_library_of_birmingham_policy
• It was allowed because Birmingham celebrates the Commonwealth and Pakistan is still a part of that.
• Requests have to be made at least 4 weeks in advance, so the timing is entirely coincidental.
• It changes quite often, it was purple for Ozzy (paid by the Osbournes), and has been Villa / Blues colours, Rainbow for pride, West Indies colours for Windrush Generation remembrance, Yellow for Aids day, Green or Irish flag colours for St Patricks and many many more.
• It regularly has the British/ St Georges colours, which GB News should know since they did an article on when it was done for VE day - https://www.gbnews.com/news/ve-day-buildings-lit-up-pictured-world-war-two
• The next time it will be in the British colours will be for VJ day, dont let the grifters claim they got it changed.

Get your rage bait right.

Look at the sheep.

Its about optics especially with what's going on in this country right now.

Even if the lamppost upgrade thing is true the timing of it when other flags have been up and left alone for so long is utter bullshit.

Also ignoring the fact that the council has admitted they're scared to take down Palestine flags..

You also ignored the Pakistani mayor erecting a Pakistani flag. While literally the same week the council order British flags to be taken down. The sheer hubris to do that while a mayor puts up a foreign nations flag.

 

[6502]

And here we are, focused on fake news about flags.

Not about a failing and underfunded justice system. Not the selloff of council houses and rent traps. Not the increasing difficulty to access health care, or the cost of living. All of which were choices by politicians to serve a small portion of society.

They also chose to create a system where immigration skyrocketed. Then the same politicians who oversaw it personally (including their hotels and benefits) now attack the policies they set up and churn out rage bait, all in the hope people have such short memory / arent paying attention that they can ride that sentiment back into power and serve that same small group of people.

There are real problems, we do need to stop overcrowding the country whilst the infrastructure catches up. We do need border checks and vetting. But let's not do the work of grifting politicians / special interests for them. Everything making people angry, true or not, is entirely by design. It took decades to get this way, and it will take just as long to put it right.

 

[kpopSuperstar]

Do you live in the UK?

Norway, but I have been to places like England, Netherlands and Germany enough times now, it's the same issues all over.

Norway is so small that our dynamics are different, but we are also facing the same problems with housing and crime. All of Europe is, apart from some eastern European countries that have been more conservative.

I literally talk to two of my neighbours through fucking google translate.

We need a complete and total freeze on all immigration for 5 years.

4.9 million Brits unemployed - instead of politicians and the big business telling lies that Brits are lazy. They can instead hire more people and pay better. These companies only care about profit.

1.3 million people on social housing waiting lists. Pre 1997 people didn't need to wait more than weeks/months for housing. Now since labour gave all social housing to immigrants and fake asylum seekers people are on waiting lists for over 5 years. I personally know people that's over 6 years.

600,000 Europeans living in the UK on full time benefits that add up to someone on 32/34k a year - fucking disgusting. That's costing the UK tax payer 8-12 billion.

20% of all migrants are on some form of benefits.

All benefits for migrants need to be stopped and this insanity of letting anyone who's lived in the UK for 5 years being given indefinite leave to remain and then claim benefits is embarrassing.

Homeless people being told because they aren't fleeing war (lmao) or don't have kids they are t a priority.

The whole system is a joke and politicians let it happen because of three reasons.
1) terrified to be called racist by left wing loons or guardian readers.
2) their rich friends benefits for cheap migrants labour making them rich.
3) they're obsessed with mass Immigration and are all in on the big lie of multiculturalism.

Calling whole cultures 'uncivilized' is the language of empire and fascism. Europe has always been a mix of cultures, food, music and science. Democracy itself all came from the exchange.

[YCoCg]

Doesn't help that Piccadilly gardens is an open PVP zone full of lecherous afghans, syrians and Africans eyeballing schoolgirls.

The city itself is losing all character. An industrial town full of Victorian splendour has had it's skyline dwarfed by the ugliest, modernist shit. There's no rhyme or reason to any of it, just grotesque alien looking carbuncles that don't belong on these isles.

Hideous Salford is probably looking more coherent these days lmao.

Piccadilly Gardens is just a mess that's long needed a redesign, which is a shame as there's a Korean corn dog place on the edge of it which is brilliant.

Salford is going through a gentrification, lot of new buildings approved lately, we've got a few contracts to get fibre lines in most of them, even doing fibre lines over poles in other boroughs like Eccles, Trafford, etc so don't be surprised if those areas explode in prices by 2030.

If you cannot assimilate, you need to go. Its simple. If you are in a country illegally, you need to go. What is "dehumanizing" is giving these animals preference over actual fucking citizens. They don't want to mix their culture with others, they want the culture to be theirs. And before you respond, I don't give a fuck what you say about me and my "views."

Still waiting to hear your take that you ignored about the Pakistani mayor raising the Pakistani flag, while simultaneously ordering British flags to be taken down.

Oh god I love the whole Europe has always been a mix of cultures to justify mas immigration of complelty alien cultures. You know up until this year child marriage in Pakistan was legal and when they did outlaw it, an Iman called the new law unislamic.. give me more.


I bet you're one of those people that thinks the UK was built by immigrants or has always been a nations of immigrants, because the angle/ saxons invaded 1300 years ago. I love that argument . Btw 50/70 % of native English peoples DNA is native Briton, not Saxon.

Savages whose tradition is to rape little girls and mutilate their genitalia are not "culture" they are fucking savages, cultist cavemen who don't belong in a modern civilization.

I work in the city centre sometimes in apartments and they're filled to the brim with Southerns and Londoners who complain London's too expensive so that's why they've come up here... They are now making Manchester more expensive.

Terror incidents are nonsencical to use. By that account 2011 would make us one of the most violent places in the world because of Utøya.

It has been around 120 killings a year in Sweden per year. Which is around 2 - 3 times more than other small European countries. There are shootings, on average, almost every day.

Las Vegas has on average far less murder. And that's an American city. In Europe, criminal gangs killing each other is rare compared to the US. Sweden is an extreme example of a new sort of crime that we ain't used to.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Police shocked violent criminals behave like violent criminals.

Same thing happened in Poland in early 1990s - after criminals started shouting each other in broad daylight the police went HARD. A few years later it was hilarious that if anyone was stupid enough to do it still they were running for the hills the moment a bystander showed up.

The gun homicide rate in Sweden is high compared to other European countries. The overall homicide rate on the other hand seems to hover around 1.2 deaths/100k, which is middle of the pack. For comparison, Las Vegas had a reported homicide rate of 23.5 in 2021. The state of Nevada as a whole had a rate of 6.8, in the 2022 data.

[kpopSuperstar]

European and North American countries are the most open, inviting and helpful places on the planet that takes in millions of people from all over the world, with billions used on helping immigrants, as well as aid money that keeps large populations alive all over the world.

Africa and the Middle-east is deeply xenophobic places where foreigners get attacked and you have to keep to tourist spots to be safe. Try moving to somalia and settle down in a shack there. See how friendly the people will treat you.

If a large city in other parts of the world was facing our problems, where half the city is given to people from other continents, there would be civil war.

Immigration in other parts of the world is almost always from countries close by with a similar culture, not from people from the other side of the planet.

Well, you said that Las Vegas has on average far less murder. I was just pointing out that this is not borne out in the statistics. The overall murder rate is comparable to the UK and less than France. You're just much more likely to be killed by a gun than in those countries.

And it is HORRIBLY misogynistic, the call is just for men! I think in the US they should require it to be rewritten to apply to all genders.

Or all the churches should time their bell ringing to coincide with the adhan, just to remind folks that they live in a free country and the "freedom to be offended" is part of it as well. Maybe put in a bunch of dog parks around those areas as well.

There are ways to integrate your culture to nestle within the broader culture of your host country. Maybe look around, read the room, and adapt rather than force compliance with the threat of a violent response (which is ALWAYS sitting on the table when dealing with Islam).
