    I was in Harborne the other day and one beggar was on a single mattress complete with bedsheets and a duvet next to a cashpoint, fast asleep. Two community hobby cops turned a blind eye as they walked straight past him. I spotted 2 others sitting nearby in strategic places with outstretched coffee cups. They all want ya money, I already had to run the gauntlet from a mob of university students begging me to change my electric supplier and another group wanting me to sign up to some dogs home or other. Ya cant seem to have a peaceful stroll down the High street these days without someone trying to mug you off. Even had to endure a busker blowing his bagpipes in Dudley yesterday it was a bloody disgraceful racket and he expected me to hand him some some money, I should coco.

    Isn't it ironic how under this government homelessness has increased by 134% from 2010 to 2017.

    The number of homeless families have risen by 48%. This is in a 2017 report by the National Audit Office.

    That's the Tories for ya...

    If Jeremy Corbyn was on the high street he would be mistaken for a tramp! Then again, if he was around Edgbaston the students would be pleased as he said he would abolish all uni fees He forgot though to say how the public purse would pay for it!

    Did you see Diane Abbott on question time - she can hardly get two words out, but then again this comes from sitting on Mr Corbyns face
