UK Crisis - Joe Blogs [View all]

In this video I talk about the refuse collection strike in Birmingham, the UK's second largest city, which started on 11th March 2025. The strike has resulted in over 22,000 tons of garbage building up across the city. Residents have reported sightings of 'rats the size of cats' and it is estimated that the clean up costs are now over £200 million. Birmingham City Council that is in charge of refuse collection declared itself Bankrupt in September 2023 and this latest situation is only going to make the financial situation worse.
