Eh??
I just came back from another week in sunny Birmingham
I found it was absolutely fantastic, and no sign of concern at all at night or during the day. Of course there are areas in Birmingham I wouldn't go, but having played over the last 20+ years in Birmingham Pool Leagues and going to some of the crappyest areas, I have never felt concern for my self.
I wouldn't for instance feel comfortable wandering around Chelmsley Wood at night, and I'm sure there are areas in all Cities the same.
But to make out that you fear for your life on the streets of the UK is nonsense
