I went to Aston for 3 years, and he couldn't be more right. The people aren't the problem, it's the city - it's grim as fuck. When I lived there, they seemed to be pulling down or renovating/repairing a building every other week, and they never seemed to finish *anything* - just one big construction site. To be fair, some of the suburbs, like Edgbaston are nice, but others legitimately look like Baghdad. A truly depressing place to be, but nice people for the most part.
I was raised in Aston myself, its such a depressing shit hole, never going back ever again. I remember the amount of litter everywhere and the smell too, the smell doesn't leave you. The park was nice tho, I wonder if its still there lol

Got my car from Birmingham, first moment I have a smoke outside the station and this woman comes up to me and says 'can you give us a smoke?' and normally I would but I only had like 2 left and I didn't know when I'd be able to go into a shop and get more so I said no sorry I've only got a couple left. She just shouts in my face 'I can see them in your hand you stupid twat' and storms off and I don't think I could sum up Birmingham any better. Guys at the dealer were really nice as well but it was the least legit business I've ever been too.
During my summer holidays in Corfu, Greece I met a group of English from Birmingham and after some beers and chatter they offered me a job, cheap accommodation and to pay for ticket from my country to UK, they'd even fix me up visa somehow and since I'm from Balkans hellhole I thought hey it doesn't sound like such a bad idea, what could possibly go wrong, it sure as hell beats living in Balkans right? Well long story short after spending a few days hanging out with these guys one of them almost drowned himself at the beach while being high on coke while another ended up in infirmary for stomach wash due to ridiculous amounts of alcohol he drank. Even then I still didn't have second doubts since British tourists are known for such shenanigans and I was just thinking how great it would be to finally leave my god forsaken country and make something out of myself but in the end I chickened out since the job they offered me was some sort of security work for a private firm and with everything that transpired that night I suspected these guys might be into some illicit business and they're out looking for some foreign idiot from eastern europe to do enforcer work for them so even if he takes the fall it won't be traced back to them.

The City Centre has improved a lot. I was in Birmingham a few days ago and it seems like Snow Hill has improved a lot over the past 10 years. However, if you go to Sparkhill, Handsworth, Handswood or any of the surrounding areas it’s a shithole. Oh yeah and don’t forget SMETHWICK.
city centre improved in some bits but spiralled downhill in some bits. Gay village is full of homeless, the side by the O2 academy and bristol rd is full of crime, round moor street is pretty rough as well.
Literally the best part of when i went to visit birmingham was the train station i arrived in from London, everything was majorly downhill from there until i returned to the station to go back home a few days later.
My older sister studied at Birmingham University in the early 1970s.

I grew up and live in Birmingham and the shit Danny said is so true. I went to an all boys' school that spent all it's funding on getting the stolen minibus back and it had one park with playing fields right next to the school but it was trampled with gypsies and young families (a good mix ik) so we could rarely go there as, even when the gypsies had moved from the playing fields, it was filled with shit and litter. The centre of Birmingham isn't actually that bad if you go to the right places which is where they did the running and shit for the commonwealth games last year and they put huge signs and banners covering the places where people like Danny live.
Ive just moved from living in acocks green for 4 years. Got jumped cycling through sparkhill on the canal multiple times. Its a nice city centre and basically everything else is shit.
The only time I’ve ever been to Birmingham was when I fell asleep on a 4 hour bus ride from Worcester I got off the bus and thought I’d died and gone to hell In most cities you could be offered a newspaper or get coffee In Birmingham it’s a bit different as I was offered a used needle with heroine from a homeless man
I got the 144 bus from Worcester at rush hour(5:00) and it takes so long The train is cheaper, quicker, more comfortable, and allows you to eat without someone asking for half I’m only taking about the train and bus from Worcester to Birmingham
Speak for yourself, I’ve never been offered heroin from a homeless man and a I grew up in Brum. Leamington is a much nicer place though, that’s for sure.
As a Walsall resident for 8 years (I was birthed in the Netherlands by Afghan parents) I agree with the message here. Could hundo relate to Danny G being a train man as I took it every day without fail to Coventry 2021-22. Got me license though so please pray I don’t crash on the M6 and yeah continue being a brummie twat 🙃
@@Geopoldd superior education lad, or so I was told GCSE’s and A levels were quite the ride but mans now doing aerospace so it was well worth it having to witness daily scraps at secondary 👍
I did not know that England had this type of problem, I like your content, I am from Argentina and I usually look at the reality of other countries, so as not to see the reality that happens around me. good video!
I'm from Birmingham. Can agree with all Danny G says. You always have one eye out for everyone else in that city. It's so paranoid and makes you paranoid. The only thing is that I can read people very well and I'm never surprised by random things kicking off lol
I used to feel you have to carry a shield, be on the defensive, all the time, watch over your shoulder. Moved away to Europe. It's so relaxed. On buses, respectful. Low crime respect for communal areas, better standard of living. Lovely.
What a great city Birmingham is a city very famous for its great industrial history, its great events, its Bolivian community and its Baal Worship (Opening Ceremony) 👍👍
@@Geopoldd I live in Shrewsbury, other side of telford I visited jewerelly quarter and tried to find some weed found it easily but the amount of flytipping!!
Only ever been through it on the bus to London. One of those times, we were delayed and the driver made an announcement apologising because a drunk woman decided to sit in front of the bus, refused to get up and we couldn't leave.
Went through Wolverhampton and Birmingham last week (Im from London) and i feel like everybody knew i wasn't from the midlands. Everyone was looking at me like they were planning to eat me
@@scrumbole I'm from non-London south England, and every time I go to London (which is something I try to avoid like the plague) I feel like I'm about to be murdered at any moment. At least when I'm not in the Westminster city centre. When I'm there I'm just fucking surrounded by freaks. Last time I went to Westminster I was held up at a crossing for 10 minutes by a naked cyclist protest. Just 10 minutes of nothing but naked people cycling past. What the fuck London?
danny is definitely right. im surprised there hasn’t been a full documentary into life in birmingham like there is in other cities like London, Manchester, Liverpool and so on
I have family who used to live in birmingham before recently moving to haifa - nobody knew why they did that until this video came out. Thank you and Danny G for revealing the truth. I don't even live there but I want out.
I would agree with you on this, however some parts of South East Birmingham* (the part which leads into Solihull) are really nice, areas like Moseley, Springfield, Acocks Green, Wake Green. There's a reason why detached 4 bedroom houses cost like nearly a million pounds there. *excluding Sparkhill
Norwich / norfolk is the Alabama of the UK same stereotypes and everything (Inbred/ cousin fuckers , farmers ,mostly white ,) Its been said that the southern part of the USA were descendants of people from Norfolk
Went to birmingham for a 4 days once. First day was fun because we went to the autosport car museum event. When we went to the Birmingham centre it was grey and boring. Almost as boring as the town I'm from.
I lived in Birmingham and compared to my city in Poland its full of green and air is very clean(despite being in the middle of a country proably thanks to fact its island) many gray buses - considered Eco. If you want to improve in being ecofriendly consider buying local products- both supporting your economy and envoierment. Otherwise you are buying stuff from 3rd world countries which produce tons of pollution and poison waters. Also it needs to be transported which obviously produces tons of pollution. Dont be ecoidiot be ecosmart. Its pricey but imo its Worth it if you really care and can afford it.
I grew up in a good bit of a bad bit in a capital and North-Eastern Europe. I passed Birmingham twice and it literally is the first city where I don't even want to go for a visit. It is terrible for such a big place. And I lived in Glasgow for almost 10 years.
Well for a typical snob from Kent full of illegal imigrants a bit hypocritical I believe, instead of judging the UK's second City by watching this crap try getting on the train and visiting Birmingham in person and like the millions who attended the 2022 Commonwealth Games you will be delighted how modern and cosmopolitan Birmingham is.
Born and raised in the Black Country myself... Believe me when I say Birmingham and the whole West Mids is getting worse by the day. I'm 31 and have seen a lot of changes in Brum since I was a kid, unfortunately the levels of deprevation have just seemed to get worse... couple this with high levels of violence and crime and a corrupt local Government and its a recipe for disaster. It's a depressing and violent place to grow up and live. But it does teach you a good amount of street smarts at least. I now live in rural Shropshire and its one of the best life choices I made... Danny G is spot on with his comments.
Lived in Wolves my whole life, but went to secondary school in Shropshire. Two polar opposite sides of my upbringing, but I've seen more of the former by going uni in Brum. Shithole.
I’ve been to Birmingham several times, I just wanted to leave tbh, but the fact that you went to the effort of going all the way to smethwick to see danny G is S tier content also, national express is S tier, don’t let danny G tell you otherwise
@@Geopoldd actually true, i had to take one of their coaches at 2am from sheffield to leeds recently and it was stupidly busy and i had to sit in a really narrow seat next to someone
Had to go through Birmingham as part of my job. 3 Weeks later I am leaving that job. (They stole our Hub caps and put them on that giant building made of Sky TV Satellites and other Hub caps)
I kind of agree with you here. I have to sadly visit Birmingham every 3 months and it is so horrible. It is scruffy, there is graffiti all over buildings, smashed up windows and dodgy looking people. Moseley and Kings Heath are just the worst towns I have ever seen.
@@OffGridMadMan when I drive through them, it is always really dirty and there are very dodgy people walking around. There are also graffitied walls and broken windows in some parts or maybe I am getting mixed up with Balsall Heath, now that is a shithole!!😂
@@denbondombe6640 Balsall Heath is bad, Moseley kind of blends into it. It's all downhill from there 😄 I'm born and bred in Brum but left 20 years ago, it's deteriorated more and most of my old friends are still trapped there, may the Lord have mercy on their souls 🙏
Birmingham definitely needs investment man, the city centre and edgbaston are actually nice these days but the other areas have been deprived for so long. Government has neglected the city for way too long and without money coming in these areas just get worse and it isn’t the people’s fault, brummies are mostly a class bunch of people. I do think that if people keep calling it a shithole though then the reputation keeps sticking and we keep missing out on investment as companies and the government don’t want to be involved with it
@@tzvi7989 Birmingham is very backwards and a dump city no character or charm lots of segregation and divisions and racist bigoted people too crime is out of control.
My dad used to live there, and a joke a friend of his told him that he uses to this day in reference to that place is "the best thing about Birmingham is the road out of it" lol
Watching this video, i became happy for not living in Birmingham, but then I realized that i live in the deepest pits of the shithole, and then, i relate.
was stuck in birmingham for an hour and a half after my coach was delayed, was the worst experience of my life. got scammed from 60p for the toilets and as i left the station was immediately met by awful looking road works.
Must of needed a piss twice as it’s 30p in the coach station. Even that is fucking pushing it though it should be 10p they would still make a profit and keep drug addicts out.
Pure exagerration. Come here to any street in Manila ,or better yet roam the streets of Baseco, Tondo, Ermita, Malate, Sta.Mesa,Cubao or V.Mapa if you want to feel what it feels like to have andrenaline rush to want to get out of the place immediately.
I live not very far from Birmingham, and every time come there, it gives me a very special feeling. It's very like Liberty City from GTA 4(I haven't been to actual New York), and I like it. It looks massive, it pushes on you, it makes you feeling like you are a part of big, moving organism that is never going to stop. And I really like this feeling, because very few cities in the world can give it to you. I know, that you are probably fed up with this, but if you leave Birmingham, you will probably miss it.
As londoner (born in the east end, often called a shithole by most) I feel the exact same way about it. Nostalgia probably plays a part, it wasnt a great place to grow but I miss it and I've never seen someone explain the feeling as well as you just did

The only time I’ve ever been to Birmingham was when I fell asleep on a 4 hour bus ride from Worcester
I got off the bus and thought I’d died and gone to hell
In most cities you could be offered a newspaper or get coffee
In Birmingham it’s a bit different as I was offered a used needle with heroine from a homeless man
well if it took you 4 hours from Worcester to Birmingham you must of gone via Manchester mate
I got the 144 bus from Worcester at rush hour(5:00) and it takes so long
The train is cheaper, quicker, more comfortable, and allows you to eat without someone asking for half
I’m only taking about the train and bus from Worcester to Birmingham
Speak for yourself, I’ve never been offered heroin from a homeless man and a I grew up in Brum. Leamington is a much nicer place though, that’s for sure.
Man's only being polite
Birmingham is the british equivalent of "Can't Have Shit In Detroit"
This needs to be on the news
one day I will have my own news channel where I will only report on content I see as important
As a Walsall resident for 8 years (I was birthed in the Netherlands by Afghan parents) I agree with the message here.
Could hundo relate to Danny G being a train man as I took it every day without fail to Coventry 2021-22. Got me license though so please pray I don’t crash on the M6 and yeah continue being a brummie twat 🙃

I accept your confirmation
City centre and the Edgbaston/Moseley areas are actually nice, but things go downhill fast elsewhere
Ye tru
Sutton has nice areas too but even that’s not quite what it was (the local cinema closed recently during Covid and hasn’t reopened, for example).
I’m from Birmingham and once I get my money I’m LEAVING there. It’s so sh!t like wow.
GET OUT AS SOON AS U CAN
Where are u planning to go?😂
I'm from Birmingham. Can agree with all Danny G says. You always have one eye out for everyone else in that city.
It's so paranoid and makes you paranoid. The only thing is that I can read people very well and I'm never surprised by random things kicking off lol
I used to feel you have to carry a shield, be on the defensive, all the time, watch over your shoulder. Moved away to Europe. It's so relaxed. On buses, respectful. Low crime respect for communal areas, better standard of living. Lovely.
What a great city Birmingham is a city very famous for its great industrial history, its great events, its Bolivian community and its Baal Worship (Opening Ceremony) 👍👍
I agree my friend

The closest I’ve been to Birmingham is the m6 and just that makes me want to flee
pretty sure you can smell it from there
I love this style of video, you should do more longer videos like this!
Yeah thanks brother I plan to
What utter crap
Only ever been through it on the bus to London. One of those times, we were delayed and the driver made an announcement apologising because a drunk woman decided to sit in front of the bus, refused to get up and we couldn't leave.
Went through Wolverhampton and Birmingham last week (Im from London) and i feel like everybody knew i wasn't from the midlands. Everyone was looking at me like they were planning to eat me

At least when I'm not in the Westminster city centre. When I'm there I'm just fucking surrounded by freaks.
Last time I went to Westminster I was held up at a crossing for 10 minutes by a naked cyclist protest.
Just 10 minutes of nothing but naked people cycling past. What the fuck London?
I love this channel man just now laughed myself to tears about that dude who commented he preferred detroits ghettos over birm hahaha
Birmingham... truly an "enriched" city, lots of our "strength" there
danny is definitely right. im surprised there hasn’t been a full documentary into life in birmingham like there is in other cities like London, Manchester, Liverpool and so on
They’re tried to make them before but the cameras get stolen and the presenters get stabbed
@@louiscousins1254 not like you can interview the average birmingham resident considering the amount of gas they inhale and ket they use

I unironically live in Birmingham, can confirm every day is like being in Bosnia in 1993
Be careful where you tread mate!
It's true. I visited once and before I was even off the bus some dude stole my trousers and I stepped on a land mine
Well leave then.
I have family who used to live in birmingham before recently moving to haifa - nobody knew why they did that until this video came out. Thank you and Danny G for revealing the truth. I don't even live there but I want out.
they just like everyone else here bruh. Escaping or attempting it
Breaking down in birmingham and having to spend the night is a genuine fear of mine, and i live in france... and dont drive.
I would agree with you on this, however some parts of South East Birmingham* (the part which leads into Solihull) are really nice, areas like Moseley, Springfield, Acocks Green, Wake Green. There's a reason why detached 4 bedroom houses cost like nearly a million pounds there.
*excluding Sparkhill

The fact you met up with Danny g is insane
You’ve done the whole uk proud 🙏
Went to birmingham for a 4 days once. First day was fun because we went to the autosport car museum event. When we went to the Birmingham centre it was grey and boring. Almost as boring as the town I'm from.
Big up man sick vid defo checking out full interview
I lived in Birmingham and compared to my city in Poland its full of green and air is very clean(despite being in the middle of a country proably thanks to fact its island) many gray buses - considered Eco. If you want to improve in being ecofriendly consider buying local products- both supporting your economy and envoierment. Otherwise you are buying stuff from 3rd world countries which produce tons of pollution and poison waters. Also it needs to be transported which obviously produces tons of pollution. Dont be ecoidiot be ecosmart. Its pricey but imo its Worth it if you really care and can afford it.
I’ve only driven through Birmingham a few times but man some places do look depressing
LIved there for 8 years - ran back to Eastern Yurope.
The city eats your soul.
I grew up in a good bit of a bad bit in a capital and North-Eastern Europe.
I passed Birmingham twice and it literally is the first city where I don't even want to go for a visit. It is terrible for such a big place. And I lived in Glasgow for almost 10 years.

shit life bruh
@@Geopoldd EXACTLY hope we can both move somewhere nice aye. 💯🙌
Grew up in Birmingham/Wolverhampton, then spent the past 15 year living in Dagenham. No idea why, punishment maybe.
bro the UK is fucking surreal. never stepping foot there. 10/10.
that is a wise decision g
as a british person i can agree avoid at all costs
Being a southerner from Kent I can reveal that this is exactly what I expected Birmingham to be like
it meets the description
Well for a typical snob from Kent full of illegal imigrants a bit hypocritical I believe, instead of judging the UK's second City by watching this crap try getting on the train and visiting Birmingham in person and like the millions who attended the 2022 Commonwealth Games you will be delighted how modern and cosmopolitan Birmingham is.
I am glad Danny G is still alive and relatively safe, since he lives in Birmingham, u feel me.
he moving to cornwall soon
@@Geopoldd he actually
Born and raised in the Black Country myself... Believe me when I say Birmingham and the whole West Mids is getting worse by the day.
I'm 31 and have seen a lot of changes in Brum since I was a kid, unfortunately the levels of deprevation have just seemed to get worse... couple this with high levels of violence and crime and a corrupt local Government and its a recipe for disaster.
It's a depressing and violent place to grow up and live. But it does teach you a good amount of street smarts at least.
I now live in rural Shropshire and its one of the best life choices I made... Danny G is spot on with his comments.
Tbf the country as a whole is getting worse by the day. But yeah Brum is in an awful state
Some of the suburbs are nice atleast
@@metetural9140tbh most countries are,except maybe US and some small idilic nations like Netherlands
@@Bebrou66 what legal weed and hookers does for a country I guess 😂
Lived in Wolves my whole life, but went to secondary school in Shropshire. Two polar opposite sides of my upbringing, but I've seen more of the former by going uni in Brum. Shithole.
As someone who is from Sunderland I’m glad to hear it’s not the worst place in the UK
quality journalism
thank you my boy
I’ve been to Birmingham several times, I just wanted to leave tbh, but the fact that you went to the effort of going all the way to smethwick to see danny G is S tier content
also, national express is S tier, don’t let danny G tell you otherwise

Birmingham is vile, I grew up nearby and left as soon as I could.
i have been to birmingham 3 years ago and im born and raised in istanbul. i dont know how people live there.
I kind of agree with you here. I have to sadly visit Birmingham every 3 months and it is so horrible. It is scruffy, there is graffiti all over buildings, smashed up windows and dodgy looking people. Moseley and Kings Heath are just the worst towns I have ever seen.
It's also a very brown city...
Moseley and Kings Heath are 2 of the best areas left!
@@OffGridMadMan when I drive through them, it is always really dirty and there are very dodgy people walking around. There are also graffitied walls and broken windows in some parts or maybe I am getting mixed up with Balsall Heath, now that is a shithole!!😂
@@denbondombe6640 Balsall Heath is bad, Moseley kind of blends into it. It's all downhill from there 😄 I'm born and bred in Brum but left 20 years ago, it's deteriorated more and most of my old friends are still trapped there, may the Lord have mercy on their souls 🙏
Bro I’ve been trying to escape since 2012 😭
Every couple years the family travels to Birmingham to visit the grandparents and I'm just on edge the whole time.
Last time was the last time.
Birmingham definitely needs investment man, the city centre and edgbaston are actually nice these days but the other areas have been deprived for so long. Government has neglected the city for way too long and without money coming in these areas just get worse and it isn’t the people’s fault, brummies are mostly a class bunch of people. I do think that if people keep calling it a shithole though then the reputation keeps sticking and we keep missing out on investment as companies and the government don’t want to be involved with it
No one cares in Birmingham the people don't complain its always been a backwards shithole Birmingham even Manchester is more progressive as a city.
Don't forget harborne too!
@@tzvi7989 Birmingham is very backwards and a dump city no character or charm lots of segregation and divisions and racist bigoted people too crime is out of control.

I watch a few Danny G videos from time to time, most of them are a bit hard to watch, but the ones where he tells stories are really interesting.
Used to live in birmingham, and now im dead.
ah
My dad used to live there, and a joke a friend of his told him that he uses to this day in reference to that place is "the best thing about Birmingham is the road out of it" lol
The fact that they made a toll road dedicated to avoid Birmingham says it all
and everyone pays the toll
Decided to take the regular M6 through Brum once, felt like I was in the Sicario Mexican border scene
Hahahaha wonder why there’s a road called M6 toll. Even the motorway/ highways don’t like Birmingham 🤣🤣
Watching this video, i became happy for not living in Birmingham, but then I realized that i live in the deepest pits of the shithole, and then, i relate.

I haven worked in Birmingham for almost a year but I've still got depression
Imagine living in Brishit
was stuck in birmingham for an hour and a half after my coach was delayed, was the worst experience of my life. got scammed from 60p for the toilets and as i left the station was immediately met by awful looking road works.
road works and knife crime are the only two constants over here lol
60p for the toilet? Fuck me, I thought paying 20p in Bristol bus station was bad enough
The Coach station is SO bad PAHAH one time in 2017 I slept in there overnight and I have not since recovered
Must of needed a piss twice as it’s 30p in the coach station. Even that is fucking pushing it though it should be 10p they would still make a profit and keep drug addicts out.

Pure exagerration. Come here to any street in Manila ,or better yet roam the streets of Baseco, Tondo, Ermita, Malate, Sta.Mesa,Cubao or V.Mapa if you want to feel what it feels like to have andrenaline rush to want to get out of the place immediately.
As an American, when I think of Birmingham I think of:
1) Black Sabbath,
2) Peaky Blinders, and
3) Mr. “Because I Live In A Sh*thole” himself
I'm from a town just north of Birmingham and I've been to Birmingham a few times and can gladly say I do not want to return
I live not very far from Birmingham, and every time come there, it gives me a very special feeling. It's very like Liberty City from GTA 4(I haven't been to actual New York), and I like it. It looks massive, it pushes on you, it makes you feeling like you are a part of big, moving organism that is never going to stop. And I really like this feeling, because very few cities in the world can give it to you. I know, that you are probably fed up with this, but if you leave Birmingham, you will probably miss it.
As londoner (born in the east end, often called a shithole by most) I feel the exact same way about it. Nostalgia probably plays a part, it wasnt a great place to grow but I miss it and I've never seen someone explain the feeling as well as you just did
