A series of vile and racist messages have appeared daubed across properties in the Small Heath area of Birmingham.

Racist slurs including the words “Paki Pedo” have been scrawled across homes and walls in the predominantly Muslim neighbourhood, in the south-east of the city.

Residents were shocked to discover the offensive vandalism yesterday morning, featured in several prominent streets in the area, with locals painting over some of the hate speech to prevent it inciting further outrage or upset.

The incident follows similar slogans appearing in the area last year, in the same font and style of writing, over Hob Moor Road bridge near Haybarnes Park.

The latest abusive messages are sprayed in several locations in Small Heath, including across the walls of a property on the corner of Waverley Road and Tennyson Road, as well as on pillars that lead into Small Heath Park.

Additional hate-filled messages were discovered near a bus stop in Oldknow Road, and across the walls inside Digby Park.

Several residents confirmed they had reported the racist graffiti to West Midlands Police, after similar disturbing content had also been sprayed on their cars in Oldknow Road, across the street from Holy Family School.

Almost all of the locations targeted appear to be close to parks, schools and nurseries, and it has been reported that pupils walking by have been stopping and reading the abusive messages on their way home from school.

A local resident claims to have secured video footage of his car being targeted with spray paint as part of this latest wave of vandalism. He told I Am Birmingham that he was passing the video onto the police.

One of the racist messages in Digby Park has now been painted over by locals in a bid to stop the words from causing pain and distress to families using the park.

Small Heath – a part of the city recently immortalised in TV shows Peaky Blinders and Man Like Mobeen – is home to one of the city’s largest South Asian population, primarily of Pakistani and Bangladeshi heritage; most of whom are also Muslim, according to the Office for National Statistics.

Local resident and journalist Rangzeb Hussain was shocked to see the graffiti. He said:

“It is disturbing that the vile slogans have predominately appeared in and around Small Heath Park, ahead of the May Bank Holiday weekend.

“There is a fun fair currently setting up camp inside the park and preparations are in full swing to get the show ready for families. It is very likely the perpetrator behind the abusive graffiti planned the crime to ensure that a maximum number of local families would be exposed to the harmful and upsetting words on their way to the fun fair.

“At a time of mass unemployment, with the tabloid press fanning stories of division and race, it is absolutely imperative that people remain calm and united against those who would tear apart local communities.”

I'm glad their local police agencies are so proactive in working to stop these vile hate crimes.

Perhaps they will prosecute the perpetrators of the actual rapes with the same vigor.

Sooo.. I was not supposed to laugh at that first picture?

What's sickening about facts?

But they are Paki pedo cunts.

Pass the Coke please.

I thought it was Birmingham, Alabama and I was going to write "Hoax".

Still think there is a good chance it is a hoax.

My field of fucks is barren and cold.

I’m glad they don’t call themselves Great Britain anymore, because if this news story is any indication, that ship sailed into a rock and went down with all hands.

They went from a nation that ruled a worldwide empire to a pathetic cesspool of political “correctness” and craven cowardice.

Can’t wait to see how the new masters of England rename everything.

Here come the ARFCOM bigots.

But its true.  What wrong with it

Truth is an offense

Isn't graffiti urban art and culture ?

The first three pictures were taken at the same location

What is daubed?

and they are sexist too...

Lol.

What is "Google"?

So diverse and inclusive.

Seems that way.

Like a dirt dauber.

Do they have those in California?

Where the lie at tho?

Ministry of truth does not approve I'm sure!

Any updates?  This happened 7 months ago.

hmmm

Ah, Brum. a place I remember fondly.  I worked and went to collage there for 4 years.

It is a shit hole city like most large urban areas.

False flag.

Those damn kids!

"Paki Pedo Cunts"

That sure cuts right to the heart of the matter, doesn't it.

There's a video of some Muslim immigrants wandering around a mosque berating and accosting people, calling themselves the "Muslim patrol" and telling anyone who wasn't Muslim to step away from the mosque.

At one point they walk up on some guy holding a beer and start yelling at him about the evils of alcohol and he tells them something along the lines of "I can walk around with a drink, this is Great Britain" and then one of the filthy third world imports yells at him "Oh no this is not so Great Britain!" before slapping the beer our of the guys hand.

That video came out years ago. When I first watched it I thought "you scummy little ingrate foreigners" (thought worse than that, but CoC). Now it seems that maybe they were right. Great Britain is now Not So Great Britain.

ETA: My recollection was off, the "not so great Britain" remark was directed at some woman they were arguing with. The beer thing was a separate event. You get the idea though.

Hey, mullah. Whatcha doin'?

I read it as racist giraffe

I’ll have a Coke.

Paki made gets you laid?

Don't they have cameras everywhere over there?

Aaaahhh,  Birmingham England.

My fucks! Has anyone seen my fucks?! Nope

A bunch of articles from around the same time might explain the graffiti?

Google: birmingham gb pakistan rape

ETA: I love the term “Asians”. Perhaps we can go back to oriental to describe myself, just so there’s no confusion.

Paki is a racial slur?
What race is it referring to?

Apparently as it was the “same font and style” as previous graffiti, it’s more newsworthy. Perhaps if it was New Times Roman flush left in uppercase/lowercase, it wouldn’t have gotten such extensive news coverage.

Bwahahaha... Yes, use their own retardation against them, hold them accountable to their own rules.

There's a reason nobody likes Pakistan, and that distrust extends to its people.

Same goes for muslims.

Yeah, I'm having a real hard time finding anything to feel bad about this.

What's bigoted about wanting Muslims to stay in their own country, since their belief system is not compatible with the beliefs of the civilized world?

They should not be welcome in America, Europe, Asia, or anywhere that values individuality. Keep them in their caves in the Middle East. Better if we just close those caves off also.

Was that wrong? Should I have not done that?

It’s not bigotry if it’s true.

I’m good with it

Thanks for proving my point.

You say that like it's a bad thing. Not all cultures are equal.

He's right.

These are only posted on boy/goat Thursdays.

Hmm...still illegal to tell the truth in Britain, eh?  lol

Sorry, but as described by our media and college professors; vandalism isn't hate.  Nor is it any sort of true vandalism.
It's art and free expression.  Sorry, but zero fucks given.
