Manchester, Liverpool and Birmingham becoming 'no-go areas' because of drugs gangs... just like Mexico and Brazil says the UNITED NATIONS
UN narcotics chief: Manchester, Birmingham and Liverpool are comparable to Brazil and Mexico for their 'no-go' areas
Badly managed large scale immigration fuels the problem
'Drug traffickers, organised crime, drug users - they take over'
Celebrity use of drugs is helping to 'normalise use' in society
ACPO says it does 'not recognise the reference to "no go" areas in the UK'

Areas of Manchester, Liverpool and Birmingham have become 'no-go' areas where the law is losing the battle against drug traffickers and organised crime, according to the United Nations' drugs chief.
The three cities were directly compared to the drug cartels which hold sway over large parts of Brazil and Mexico by Professor Hamid Ghodse, the president of the UN’s International Narcotics Control Board (INCB).

He said the cities were trapped in 'a vicious cycle of social exclusion and drugs problems and fractured communities'.
The development of 'no-go areas' is being fuelled by threats such as social inequality, migration and celebrities normalising drug abuse, he warned, adding that helping marginalised communities with drugs problems 'must be a priority'.

This a load of rubbish. It's just one very small area in Birmigham. The rest is ok and very ok. Have they not heard of Edgbaston (cricket). And they should say that to people in Four Oaks!:smile:

noway Well Birmingham is not that bad lve lived in birmingham for last 25years and l know that there are some trouble's here but its only a small part of birmingham. people like you think that its all of b'ham as got a drug and gang problem's,
How many times have you been to b'ham coz you have been going to the wrong places, belive me when l say all city's have problem's so jumping on Birmingham ,Manchester,and other city's is wrong way of looking at this country's problem's.
Maybe if we stopped opening the door so everyone can walk in and stay and become another problem that puts this country in trouble with housing, money, and most of all jobs, we are just a small country who will sink under the waves,so l think that we have bigger things to think of. thank you for your time, we all have to live together here.

I'm from Liverpool, not as bad as they make it out to be.

There are certain areas i would advise to stay away from, but majority of it is fine, I work in the City Center and you do see how nice it can be!
