Ah, mass migration transforming our societies... In this case not immigrants themselves, but their children. The streets in Britain haven't been this full chaos since the Victorian Age more than a hundred years ago. I'll copy the article here to archive the story for when the link stops working or for the future when the article is eventually taken down. Inside 'Britain's roughest estate' where youth as young as 10 run, riot, and even tear live PIGEONS apart Residents are living in fear on one of 'Britain's roughest estates' where hooligans as young as 10 have been terrorising the neighborhood. Blakenall, in Walsall, West Midlands, has been compared to 'war-torn' after the area began falling into a state of disrepair during the past two years. Locals are constantly being plagued by violence and anti-social behaviour and say they are too scared to leave their homes - even in the daytime. Feral youths as young as 10 have been subjecting terrified residents and shopkeepers to attacks on a daily basis. Tormented residents and business owners are now demanding action following a string of incidents including arson attacks, thefts, assaults and vandalism. A local councillor told how a live pigeon was even torn to pieces in front of horrified staff and customers outside a shop in the area. Businesses have also been pelted with eggs, flour and bricks causing damage to property while buses, taxis and cars also routinely get attacked. Other incidents include a fire started at a house which left a mum and her children too scared to return and a delivery driver who was hospitalised by a thrown bottle. Several streets around the area are also being used as a dumping ground for garbage, while balaclava-clad youths have been seen wielding knives. Residents now fear it is only a matter of time before somebody is killed while other homeowners are being driven out of the area. One local resident, who did not wish to be named, said: "It had got to the point where we are scared to leave our homes even in the daytime. The place has just rapidly declined into almost a state of lawlessness since the pandemic. Before then we did have issues but not to the scale we are seeing now. It's like a war-zone out there at times. "The kids are running riot and they find it funny when police arrive. There are fights on a daily basis. "Shopkeepers are being racially abused and attacked. Rubbish gets dumped in the street, fires are started, bus shelters are smashed. You see kids walking down the street with knives and smoking drugs - it's just there is just no rules or order here." A mother of seven children, who did not want to be named, added: "Its the younger kids causing the most problems. They get a buzz from it when the police arrive - but the police end up running away because they get pelted with bricks. So we don't feel protected here." video in link: Inside Britain's 'roughest estate' where kids as young as 10 run riot and tear live PIGEONS apart | The Sun, Britta Zeltmann, September 23, 2022 Walsall is 20 minutes north of Birmingham, in the central region of England.
