And that's what most of my Twitterfeed is right now.

As cities go, Birmingham is very normal. In a way I always find it a bit like a bigger version of my home town of Sheffield. Brummies tend to have a lot of the same hopes, fears and insecurities as us Sheffielders.

The only noticeable thing about Birmingham's minorities that I've found is an above average number of Rasta's about the place. But that's not Islam. Even Faux News fuckwits should be able to work that out.
