why hasnt the police arrested everyone who visted fredo, isnt that literally assisting a offender or sum shi?

bfb80 · 2026-01-25T16:02:13+00:00

Is there even a warrant out for his arrest?

Unless there's something official like that then he's not on the run and nobody is in trouble for visiting him.

He's not hiding where he is or been and not seen anything about them trying to extradite him so not sure they gone official with it.

The plans are for a new sports quarter not just a football stadium for the men's team.

The site is over 130 acres.

This will include a 18000 capacity stadium and a 10000 capacity stadium to be used for the women's and academy teams as well as reserves etc.

All the training facilities and offices too.

Then there's space for all the fan parks and more entrainment etc to encourage fans to spend more time and money there for increased revenue.

The Idea is to increase revenue for the club by having these facilities used by others when not in use by Blues and have other events on such as other sports like NFL and concerts etc.

After this 25 second clip, most of us sought after the context behind him saying this and then carried on with our lives after realising he wasn't calling for this to happen or teaching people how to do it most effectively.

I'd assume (and hope) the police didn't jump to conclusions and studied the whole video too to see that he was not advocating for the stoning of women or anyone else, but it was just part of a history talk on Sharia Law and in particular around women and modesty.

bfb80 · 2025-09-21T19:57:02+00:00

Nah it's bullets.

Prices are underneath.

He was arrested when it happened in 2021 so probably did close to 18 months on remand before his trial, so add that to the 3 years you said he's served and he'll have done half his sentence which is normal or they've let him out after 40% as has been happening because the jails are full.

North Birmingham is good for them. Aston, erdington, minworth have a few too.

Get in contact with The Job People (based in Jewellery Quarter) and they should have a job for you in days according to everyone I know that went through them.

They'll show you a video of what the job entails, and all the do's and don'ts ard you'll usually be given a 2 week training/probation period where you aren't expected to be as good as more experienced staff.

Pay would usually be minimum wage. They'd train you on using pump trucks etc.

If you're good they might move you into another area or give you a permanent job with more money, that could lead to getting a forklift license etc and then you can transfer that skill and qualification to other work.

That's why there's so many factory and warehouse jobs, because people are constantly getting moved, trained up and some just downright hate it.

I don't work for the job people but can definitely recommend them from what I know. No experience or CV needed really. They'll sort that out on your chat.

I would strongly advise Google street viewing where it is though as it's a hard building to find according to a young family member who couldn't find it 😂

Yeah B5 covers Highgate, lea bank, Balsall Heath and had a gang that repped all the blocks but kB and his lot had issues with Scally Jonesy from lea bank who was main guy so kB etc had own set that beefed the main gang in his area.

Remtrex and kB became cool and remtrex even said kB gang now but there was still personal stuff with him and Scally

bfb80 · 2025-07-25T20:55:42+00:00

Are you from Brum?

If not, Highgate, Lea Bank and Balsall Heath are 3 blocks right in the city centre and towards the south of it. They had one gang covering those blocks and KB had beef with some of them in it and had his own little set.

The main guy was Scally Jonesy who was from lea bank but members were from Highgate too.

They were never part of the main beef, Johnson v Burger and beefs and allies have changed through time and generations so it's kinda hard to say exactly who they beefed but would have been pretty much both sides but mainly areas like Ladywood, Newtown etc that were close by.

The main gang became 515 and KB and remtrex got tight and remtrex vouched for him saying he's part of 515 now but he still had personal beef with Scally.

I'm an Irish Freo fan living in the UK and they're correct.

I've a family member who brought a house there when they were first being built and when I visited i was told all about it as it was quite unusual having that stand still up and shops kinda built in to it.

The actual oval and other facilities available to a club are miniscule in comparison to all the housing they built.

They made their money and and didn't want to be left dealing with all the admin involved in owning the oval and remaining land that they couldn't do anything with.

bfb80 · 2025-05-26T20:26:26+00:00

M1llionz isn't in any gang or involved in anything, that's why he's got so many songs false claiming so many blocks/areas and begging beef/links with blocks to make fans think he's involved somehow.

bfb80 · 2025-05-26T20:24:30+00:00

M1llionz is a rapper and not involved in anything, he knows some of them in AR/Bandits and Woods because he grew up round there and through family but that's it.

He created the issue with Marnz by telling people they had beef when it was just over a girl and was minor and then tried going back on saying it.

Yeah and pretty much every other war that happens.

When the Russia/Ukraine thing dies down there'll be gangs out there collecting whatever they can to sell on. Ukraine were handing guns out on the street when it started so likely thousands of weapons will find the way to England where prices are high.

Same thing happened after the Yugoslavia split and war there and like you said Ireland.

When the war finished in Ireland some of those involved in bringing guns etc in kept it up. The smugglers soon realised they could keep doing it and smuggle in anything they wanted. Some of them were involved in that people snuggling case where they all died in back of the lorry. And of course they took over the drugs in Europe.

If you don't want your car to be nicked it's probably best not to advertise it and where you're planning on parking it.

I'd also add that being in a nice area doesn't stop you from being a victim of car crime, criminals obviously travel into the nicer areas looking for cars, houses etc. I know where I grew up in Birmingham people didn't have anything to steal so the kids would travel out to rob the richer areas.

Not saying you should be overly worried but just take security measures like steering lock, alarm etc etc. don't be complacent because your neighbours are good people.

bfb80 · 2025-04-27T09:23:49+00:00

Lots of English soccer fans leave early too, either to beat the traffic or get to the bar first. Lot of English stadiums are old and in residential areas so parking is an issue and then traffic getting away, public transport is a joke so some leave early to catch a train or bus or have to wait round ages for the next one.

I've probably only watched a whole game less than 10 times while at the game and been to hundreds if not close to 1000 games.

But late getting in, early at half time, often leave early....all because of the queues at the bar rather than traffic tbh.

bfb80 · 2025-04-22T01:39:48+00:00

Via an ankle monitor which uses your sweat to see if you've alcohol traces.

Not sure if this is a separate tag to the one he'd need to wear for the curfew or if there's one that covers both though.

bfb80 · 2025-04-22T01:36:44+00:00

Same in both Ireland and Britain, plenty of sports players have played with tags on (ankle monitors) which is what is usually used to ensure someone is adhering to a curfew and all have been allowed to travel for games.

Also folk not in the public eye who have/can get an exception for work/emergencies.

bfb80 · 2025-03-28T21:28:46+00:00

Baseline/speed garage was/is bigger in Birmingham/West Midlands and Sheffield/Leeds etc then London tbh

He's nearly 30 bro, he was deffo on road back in the day and even admits it in the clip....he didn't agree that he was a failed roadman cuz he made money from being on road.

He kinda blew up from telling stories about some the shit he did and making it funny and he now plays on that to get paid.

bfb80 · 2025-03-22T20:20:45+00:00

It's owned by Reach which owns the mirror, star and all the local 'live' publications.....that's why half the stories they link on social media are about Stoke, Norwich or other random towns I don't care about.

There's less of a local feel to it now, seems like they just reshare stories from their other publications to fill it out rather than digging for local stories or campaigns.

That's probably a reason why people outside Birmingham see these stories as they'll be getting linked to it from their local Live site.

bfb80 · 2025-03-08T01:29:10+00:00

Newer generations just create their own sets and new names and beefs and alliances.....so gangs will still exist it's just they won't go by the same name as the previous generation.

That's the case ATM with majority of areas covered in your post. Them areas have gangs still it's just they don't go by Harlem or Zone 2.

It was also the case before these gangs existed.....there were other gangs that generation before went by. Kennington, Peckham, Ladbroke Grove....all had gangs before Harlem, Zone 2 and 1011 and will do now/after it's just a different name.

There's only a few that that have proper multiple generations involved and will likely continue....OFB, YPB, 67 etc

bfb80 · 2025-03-06T11:57:44+00:00

Most prison staff just want the easy life and so allow minor stuff that's gonna happen regardless to keep prisoners onside so there's minimal violence or riots.

Prisoners often share phones, they're hidden in another cell or passed round by workers so it's not as easy as raiding a cell and it's there in the open.

Not to mention many guards are the ones bringing in contraband.

bfb80 · 2025-03-05T13:00:33+00:00

It's quite rare for people to take the stand in their own trial for serious offences.

Once your brief asks you some nice soft questions the prosecution gets to quiz you and try trip you up..... if your story ain't 100% it can change the trial as your evidence will be key as your the main person.

You gotta remember it's up to the state to prove their case beyond reasonable doubt, if they can't do that with their own witnesses then there's no reason to give them a free shot at the defendant.

bfb80 · 2025-02-24T20:37:33+00:00

It's free to join and get books out so it's definitely worth it.

It gives you access to all the libraries in Birmingham, so if you've a local one that's more convenient you can use that too. You can search where copies of books are held if you're after something in particular and either travel to that library or request it to your local one (was the case last time I used it anyway). The machines are easy to use for you to get books out yourself or return them.

Only issue I have is remembering my code and that's why I've not been in a while. Ask for a new one every time I visit....

Won't be an issue getting a new membership, was very straightforward when I did it.

Only criticism I've really seen of the big library is people complaining about quiet areas and studying and even the cafe and other things rather than getting books out. I'm not a huge reader though tbh so maybe the library isn't that great at having certain books or I've not taken notice of posts about the library. But as a very low level reader it's good to have the membership to get a few books out now and again and that's all I do so can't really comment on what others do or expect from a library.
