He also said that in parts of London Muslims walk around with weapons and beat up anyone who isn't Muslim. What an absolute idiot. They spoke to him on our local news tonight and he has apologised profusely. The trouble is some Americans will believe him. Birmingham was the only UK city in the top 10 cities world-wide, so we can't be that bad! Jokers like this we don't need in the present situation.
