[edit] Civil unrest

The section on Civil unrest reads like propaganda; lacking the NPoV which Wikipedia demands. Andy Mabbett 09:41, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Somebody please do better than this!

This article is an insult to Handsworth and its diversity. You'd think from reading it that the only incoming communities were Afro-Caribbean and Sikh - what about the Irish, Bangladeshis, Pakistanis, Hindus, Vietnamese, Iraqi Kurds, Somalis, Poles....

I have removed the reference to the Bookbane bookshop on the ground that it is blatant commercial self-promotion by a local small-businessman. Unless anyone objects over the next few weeks, I will also remove the paragraph devoted to PCRL. The suggestion that the problems of "civil unrest" were "focused upon attempts by media regulators continually trying to close the 'free radio' (illegal pirate radio) station PCRL" is so ludicrous that it is hard not to suspect some form of self-promotion here as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Geoffw1948 (talk • contribs) 15:01, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
