Hope you enjoyed this stroll with me down the lovely Soho Road, in Birmingham, West Midlands - and as long as I keep surviving these ghetto and rough area tours, I'll keep bringing them to you.As always, all comments, questions, and feedback are welcome - Thanks for tuning in! 😀

Isn't it nice to see our country turning into a third world country .

on the plus side you used to have to travel abroad to see slums but not its right on your doorstep.

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.

I live around here, and it's a SHIT HOLE. My grandfather fought in a world war for what. Our governments have orcastrated the complete degradation of the UK.

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 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.

Birmingham is an absolute toilet, and that's the most polite thing I can say about it. I lived there for a few years as a student and I felt like a foreigner in my own country. I made some good friends while I was there but I couldn't wait to leave. What I remember most about that place was constantly being harassed in the street by foreign men, including by my neighbours who were mostly married, and I dress modestly. If you were white, female and even moderately attractive you were seen as an easy target. There was a machete attack in a nearby shop when I was there, and a raid in a house up the road where there was human trafficking going on. And I lived in London for a decade and still found B'ham too much.

All these places have Labour councils, hmmm

Birmingham was a friendly and vibrant city . A crying shame 😮

In the Edwardian era Handsworth was a middle class suburb, large houses and tree lined roads.

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.

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

"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)." Peter Hitchens

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 😢

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.

This is what Enoch Powell warned us about. Like him, I can see only conflict.

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.

You have my deepest sympathy walking through that slum! 🙏 My grandparents said it was a lovely area back in the 40's and 50's when they were growing up.

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. From Lagos, Nigeria 🇳🇬.

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.

If diversity is such as strength (according to that Labour councillor) then why did the council and police also highlight this area as bad?

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

The uk is just one big fast food toilet with Turkish barber shops thrown in.🌭🌮🍕

Sick and tired of it all now

Used to be a pub on every corner now there’s a drug dealer on every corner.

The more diverse an area is the more dangerous it is. Hmmm, I wonder why.

I was talking to the wife the other day about somewhere we could go one weekend to do some flytippinng , buy some balloons and maybe a sari whilst trying to avoid getting stabbed while on the way back to the car. Cheers mate, you've sorted it. Brum, here we come.

Makes you think why iff they are so good for our country, why isn't the one they left so much better than ours.

Vote REFORM UK 🇬🇧 make Britain safe and happy again 🇬🇧

It’s almost like the proliferation of areas like this aligns perfectly with demographic change… but that can’t be right, because diversity is our strength, right? 🙄

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 looks like a rubbish tip, not very "green" is it.

Diversity is not a strength. Multiculturalism has utterly failed and to see a country decay like this, especially you own is horrifyingly sad. I'm so angry at what they've done to us

I envy Singapore, they never have to put up with this shite.

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.

Shit and muck will make more shit and muck unfortunately 😢

Coming to a town near you...

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

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.

Tolkien based Mordor on his childhood experiences of Birmingham

Really really depressing living in the UK these days

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.

spot the white man

didn't see a single copper, for a known crime street did you edit them out?

What a horrendous, disgusting place.

They’re making it look more and more like home everyday 😂

Haven't been down Soho Road in years as the traffic was ridiculous. Also Birmingham is the SECOND biggest city and Soho Road is IN Handsworth, nobody local calls it Soho. Also check out Erdington, especially Slade Road. It's more or less the same.

My mum lives just off there and she hates it bless her. Just rubbish everywhere can’t understand how people live like this. Littering is the one thing I hate the most.

If youre watching this, and i can take a pretty good guess who is. Just remember...this is something YOU were not involved in ruining. You didn't push these ideas.

Perry Barr native here. Moved to the countryside in a neighbouring Shire before settling down and having my own kids. When I grew up in the 90s, Birmingham was nowhere near this bad.

Soho Road 🙈 Awful mate… I used to drive up and down this road often at one point. It’s terrible…. So deprived and it’s certainly cosmopolitan. Well done for braving it!!! Top video …. Smithy

Game Over.

Yeah man this is rough your lucky to get out alive

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.

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.....

Seeing over 90% of one ethnicity in one place is super diverse??

It’s actually the second city in the U.K..

Second biggest city by far, twice the size of Manchester

the fruits of islam.....

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

I can’t believe this actually happens. I’ve lived my whole life next to soho road

Thank you very much for this video. All I can say that it is very sad to see this happening in England😢

I wonder if the counciler who is so happy with the area he actually lives there

Leicester city centre is now borderline 3rd world sadly.

Diversity is the most destructive force in UK’s history.

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

Looks utterly depressing. Glad i left the country twenty years ago

Blame your wonderful politicians they have destroyed this once beautiful country ! Bring these politicians to justice ⚖️

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.

2:16 "Sadly that's the sort of stuff I can't show you on youtube" that's why you need an uncensored patreon or something hahaa

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.

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!)

Nice documentary film making. It's a gift.

Went to college on Soho road in 90s and someone got shot in KFC across road , it been crap hole for over 40years

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..

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.

Walking down, by memory lane....Nearly a decade and a half ago, we used to visit a vegetarian Indian buffet restaurant. Even though being from ethnic minority background, I used to hate going to Soho Road because of the traffic, honking, squalor, and the generally pervasive dull, drab, and depressive environment there. I still visit Birmingham often and visit its many nice parks and restaurants in other places, but haven't ever gone back to Soho road or Sparkhill & Sparkbrook (which are even worse than Soho).

any good pubs in the area? I can imagine the clientele looking like the Mos Eisley Canteen from Star Wars

In one third of the city of Birmingham there is no law. The Queen's writ has ceased to run,

thanks...its totally soul destroying watching this..We lap this all up thanks to your immensely informative vids, but probably would rather not go there ourselves despite " the strength in diversity "

Soho Road was rough in the 1980s and I can tell you its no better or worse today. I do remember some traditional Asian sweet shops that where worth visiting.

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.

I am from Glasgow. I was talking to a taxi driver about how bad things are. Do you know what he said "its only Glasgow that is like that" as in over run with immigrants. Only Glasgow i asked. What! You mean the biggest city in Scotland 😂.this is a Scottish guy making excuses and playing down how bad things are. No joke if you got dropped off in govanhill Glasgow you would think you where in a 3 world muslim country.

Yay, feel the love!

St. Paul's in Bristol has litter like this. Third world mentality.

Love the videos!

Horrendous, Great Britain is finished...im sad to say 😢

Well done stay safe.

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.

If this is how they treat their own areas then I’m happy they stay the hell away from the countryside.

Sad to see this, I was in the UK a few times in the 80's and 90's and it was lovely, but now .... 😔

Looks like a slightly cleaner version of southern California , Emphasis on slightly !

Twitter has Soho Road trending at the moment - horrendous accident. Car just ploughs in, at speed, into the back of slow moving vehicles.

Happening in my town right now, local population was predominantly indigenous but now it’s being slowly invaded by the usual suspects,

It used to be a great place about 40 years ago, it's a shxt hole now.

To think that 25 years ago I used to walk home at night down this road after visiting friends. By the way Birmingham is the second largest city in the UK, third largest is Manchester.

Hige regeneration money paid for via taxes was pumped into this area via the council. As you can see some of the signs are still up on the roads celebrating the money. I think it says north west corridors srb 6. Please do more videos.

This what you get when you show no Resistance or Backbone and letting the imagrants coming in so bare the Nightmare 😱 consequences.
