I'm fiercely proud of being a Brummie. I once responded to someone who said that Sparkhill was a no-go zone for white people. I was walking through it on the way to work so quickly snapped a picture under the sign

Knowing they were in my bag.
Thankfully someone else gave them two, I was still bricking it, as they continued to chat gangsta stuff.
Then we hit roadworks in sparkhill. I was debating getting off the bus as soon as possible (in a shit area) so I didn’t get battered or stabbed

Parts of me can't believe they're stil saying this fundamentally stupid stuff, and then I remember that there isn't any truth here. Just grifting for an audience who've already made up their little racist minds.

When a Tory says an area is "no go", all it means is that he's never gone there.

When ever I'm working in the Birmingham area I always love a lunch in Sparkhill. Of all the people I have been with on these occasions, including men and women the only one who really couldn't cope was a performative macho, tough guy.

Yeah, I was in Balsall Heath/Sparkhill growing up which obviously have been Labour strongholds for ever. (With a bit of a challenge at council level from Respect at one point).

Birmingham is a great city, for regular folk.
Can’t see him mooching down to Sparkhill into some of the best Indian restaurants in the country, though.

Honoured to attend an event last night to mark Bosnian Statehood Day with @SrebrenicaUK at Bosnia House in Sparkhill.
25 Nov 1943 saw Bosnian statehood established with the timeless and vital message that all are equal regardless of colour, creed or faith.
More important now than ever.

The Dispatch has been getting reports of the Sparkbrook pigeons for some time.
Legend has it a plague of pigeons descended upon the Aldi car park in Sparkhill a decade ago - and they've only grown in number since.

Just for a bit of personal context about these supposed "no go" Muslim areas. The main one they keep mentioning (Sparkhill in Birmingham) is where I grew up and where my mother lived with her wife for 40 years with no issue.

One of those far right Tories tried to do the no-go area but before the election, but knew Birmingham so poorly that rather than say Sparkbrook (the usual bogeydistrict of that kind of racism) he said Sparkhill, which is where the Balti Triangle is centred and a literal tourist spot

Some of our Mini-Vinnies are giving up their lunchtime to help out at Sparkhill Foodbank at Church of the Ascension. Here they are dating donations. We are seeing where our Harvest donations have ended up, helping those most in need.

This is like when the right started claiming that Sparkhill in Birmingham was a "no go area for whites", while I lived there and happily walked around after dark without an issue.
My 85 year-old mother regularly wanders around the West End post theatre.
