Time to show some love to #birmingham #bicycleadventureclub shares a rainy ride around #handsworth & #witton #lozells #aston. So many nice old houses & sculptures in the park. So many parts of brum remind me of Manchester & vice versa. Proud industrial cities with a long heritage. ♥️🚲

Good riddance to bad rubbish.....

Merz' entire campaign & strategy was pinched from the Tories, down to the slogans (control our borders). It flushed him into power, & it's gone downhill for him since. He's just pinched the #Handsworth quote,saying the #German 'Stadtbild' (urban look) is a problem. Aka, too many foreigners. #Germany

Zac Polanski has taken the toxic cigarette butt that is Jenrick, thrown it down and ground it into the dirt with his toe, with the wonderful words of Benjamin Zephania. #Greens #Poetry #Handsworth

Parminder Bansil, 70, and Harbinder Bansil, 67, whose son lives in Handsworth, said they were hoping to move to the area and did not agree with Jenrick’s comments. Harbinder said she volunteers with the local Gurdwara, adding: “The Gurdwara helps anybody and everybody, whatever colour, whatever age you are.” Parminder added Jenrick may have made the comments to get “publicity”, adding “the more controversial comments they make, the more publicity they’re going to get”.
