You assume the idiots that weave between lanes have any self preservation. You'd really need a tank to be sure.

A mate of mine who drives a heft 3.5t van in Brum gets cut up by these muppets all the time. they seem oblivious and completely ignorant of the damage they are narrowly avoiding, purely because someone else is making allowances for their stupidity.

I had a quick look but couldn't find anything really. Just guff about diversity rather than numbers.

Anyone have a clue what the West Midlands Police, or specifically the Birmingham area, make up is? Just wondered how many Muslims are part of the force and if it's reflective of the population.

I'm just thinking purely from the point of view of one of these smashing into you whilst weaving etc and avoiding being killed

Call me a wishy-washy-pinko-liberal, but once you understand these kids and what motivates them to drive in this way, you need to apply some compassion and realise there's only one type of vehicle suitable for coexisting with them on the roads in a sensitive manner.....

Safety first....

2 years ago the force were criticised for lack of diversity - http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news...

Less than 9% of the force where from an ethnic minority background, compared to 30% of the general population.

The student numbers are interesting.

The headline figure doesn’t bother me one way or the other however it is a tad worrying that kids end up going to schools where there are no white faces and then also end up living in an area where one community dominates. That can’t be good for social cohension.

At lot of the areas that used to be home ot last centuries migrants - the Irish - are now host to the present wave. Pretty normal really. Sure, the "Irish Mafia" still own huge numbers of businesses and properties in the south of the city, but places like Small Heath are less white these days than when the Peaky Blinders lived there.

I went to see a kids martial arts class a few months back in the city centre. There was only one white kid out of over 40.

I was quite surprised tbh.
