Birmingham in the past.
It used to be a great city in so many ways. But once again, and as is now often the case, the alarming influx of uncivilised 'people' has put an end to that!

Julian Lennon, John Lennon’s son, shared a tweet after running into his dad's Beatles bandmate, Sir Paul McCartney, in an airport lounge.
In a cool twist, Paul was actually listening to a song from Julian’s new album “Jude” on his phone at that very moment.
As many people know, the Beatles’ famous song “Hey Jude” was originally written as “Hey Jules” by Paul back in 1968. It was inspired by Julian, who was only 5 years old at the time, after his father John split from his mom, Cynthia, for Yoko. That’s why Julian named his new album “Jude.”
Now, Paul is 84, and Julian is 63!

EXC: Frustration is growing over delays to a deal to END Birmingham’s bin strike.
ITV News understands a deal was broadly agreed in July - but still hasn't been signed off.
Union sources accuse council officers of deliberately dragging their feet.

18 October 1995. Red Rum, 3 times winner of the Grand National at Aintree, died (aged 30). Red Rum won the 1973, 1974 and 1977 Grand Nationals and finished 2nd in the 1975 and 1976 races. He was arguably the best loved British racehorse of all time.
