Good riddance, I'm from Birmingham, its a crime ridden, multi-racial Hell-hole. Thanks to New Labour & thier suicidal, anti-British immigration policies, all of Britain will be like that soon - every town & villiage a Nechells or Aston (basically, inner city nightmare).. All people deserve a good standard of living & justice but in Britain, native Brits should be first, then the folks here for generations - new immigrants should be sent home & NOBODY made to live in a tower block - I hate them!
