Birmingham... where is your Glory?

Birmingham's landmark Bullring statue has been vandalised again. A youth was caught on CCTV but identifying him is near impossible thanks to that amazing tool – the hood.
You see, Birmingham, you can never be a world class city; you can never attract hordes of excitable rampaging tourists until you sort out the litter, the wretched youths and gangs and the mostly miserable and/or ill-trained customer service personnel (even in such big-name stores as Selfridges). No easy feat I know, and a problem faced by many cities in this crap country. Birmingham is NOT pleasant to walk around, no matter how many executive-style apartments and stupidly expensive restaurants you slam down near the centre, whilst leaving the outer areas to rot and fuel resentment. More and more kids will come crawling from their neglected lairs eager to deface that statue of a big bad-ass bull; pride of Brum.
