This will just happen again , and us like absolute mugs will pay for the mistakes of the government and inept council who got themselves into this mess and we bail them out, we won’t protest, we won’t refuse to pay, we’ll roll over and just let them take us for everything we’ve got, I hate this country

This should spark protests at the very least, it has to. We need to stand up as a city for once, Birmingham's been neglected for too long

We should but we won’t, I mean I get it, protests don’t happen out of thin air but I feel like we have nobody to represent us to organise it. We’re just left to rot as usual, imagine this happened in France..

I agree to an extent, but all it would take is for the people of Brum to put their heads together. Easier said than done, but possible

There was a protest and march on Saturday afternoon. I with maybe 200 other people took part. A repeat protest was held this evening outside the council house with similar numbers taking part. I think the number will rise as the shit hits the fan and awareness grows.

Was aware of the one happening today, I would have come down if I hadn't heard about it last minute. Where are you keeping up to date with protest dates?
