We've been a couple of weeks ago to Birmingham - a short visit, more to see how the city looks like..
Well, at least until getting there, I had the (false) impression that it's a beautiful city - I don't know why actually - ...but it seemed not only ordinary, but quite ugly in some parts..
The only areas that are nice and quite clean (a relative cleaness though) are the main commercial street and Victoria Square:

New Street
Victoria SquareThe architecture throughout the city is not impressive, and it seemed that the aesthetic was not one of the purposes.
Some "ok" places in Birmingham:
Anyway, as you get to Birmingham, you could be wondering if this is an English city...from what we saw on the streets and in the squares - on a Sunday afternoon - we could say that the Brits are the minority here; instead, full of Muslims..At a moment I had the impression - if I exagerate a bit - that we're in Morocco :P. And what effect could this have? Any guess?...I know that the Brits aren't the cleanest, but not quite like that:
This is definitely making the city uglier than it is.. But, for sure it isn't a place where I'd like to live, maybe not even to come back..
Some "ok" places in Birmingham:
St Martin's Church, next to the huge Selfridges building...what a contrast!!
Selfridges (department store chain) building
in Bull Ring Square
Canon Street
Chamberlain Square - almost in front of the City Hall there is a terrace with an artificial beach sponsored by Fly Emirates

Bine ai venit in minunata lume noua, Diana! O cincime din populatia orasului are origini non-europene, asa ca Birmingham poate fi considerat o fereastra spre viitorul jalnic - si foarte islamic - al Occidentului.
ReplyDeleteStiam ca in UK sunt multi non-europeni, dar nu imi imaginam ca e chiar asa..
ReplyDeleteAm ramas cu un gust amar dupa ce am vazut ce e in Birmingham, si cu o imagine sumbra asupra ce va fi mai incolo intr-un oras ca asta...sau generalizand, in Occident..
E trist..
Din pacate, e chiar atat de grav. Intregul Occident este supus unui proces nemaiintalnit in istoria vestului: cucerirea din interior. Nu cu armele, ci cu demografia si amenintarile. Politica imigrationista iresponsabila si multiculturalismul au creat situatia absurda si aproape ireala pe care o vad eu la televizor/ net si tu direct. E mai mult decat trist - e cu adevarat tragic.
ReplyDeleteClasa politica este puternic ideologizata sau iresponsabila si prefera sa castige voturile imigrantilor non-europeni decat sa reprezinte populatia europeana. Heh, gandes-te ca Marea Britanie e tara unde steagul englez e rasist.
Duse sunt vremurile Imperiului Britanic.
Fireste, pentru asemenea afirmatii cozile de topor or sa sara pe noi si or sa ne puna la zid: "rasistilor!", "fascistilor!", "nazistilor!", "intolerantilor!", "bigotilor!". Genul asta de gandire te transforma - in mintea acestor idioti cu diploma, mari amatori de teorii despre cat de neintelesi sunt imigrantii musulmani - intr-un individ periculos pentru societate.
Mi se pare de-a dreptul hilara intamplarea cu steagul englez, mai ales ca e ceva obisnuit sa fie vizibil in multe locuri..Mai stii, poate politistul era la randul lui imigrant :P. Mi se pare greu de crezut ca un englez ar gandi asa, in mod normal. Sunt foarte mandri..
ReplyDeleteRevenind...e pacat ca cei care au de suferit din cauza multiculturalismului prost inteles si a politicilor imigrationiste iresponsabile impuse de niste "idiotii cu diploma" - cum le-ai zis tu -, sunt majoritatea oamenilor, care cel mai probabil nu gandesc asa.
Mie, ca non-englez, care sunt temporar aici, nu-mi place ce vad. Imi pot doar imagina cum se simt englezii, inconjurati in propria lor tara..
Nu e prost inteles, Diana. Asta e multiculturalismul, la asta duce daca il aplici ca la carte. Efectele sunt de-a dreptul catastrofale. :-)
ReplyDeleteHey ..vroiam doar sa te intreb cum ai ajuns acolo?ma gandeam sa studiez in Birmingham..da nu-mi place ce imi arati:p
