The UK's second-biggest city is so broke they can no longer keep the lights on

Birmingham was once a powerhouse industrial city but now the UK's second city is a shell of its former self as rubbish lines the streets, the lights stay out and children grow up below the poverty line.

If only they budget in some courage. There were 400 cops at Uvalde. Not to be a tough guy, but its part of their job.
