Article about him today in the Daily Mail. I wasn't brought up in Coventry, but it looks like it was the wild west from his article.

I'm sure that's been said before in other articles.

Was Woodlands surrounded by BNP areas? I never went there but was it that bad?

There was a BNP councillor in Tile Hill at one point I think

Is there anyone in Tile Hill that isn't BNP?

If there is, they probably have them in a glass case on display somewhere.

They'd have to be brave fekkers if they knew his uncle!

It has been mentioned before. Although he'd have been there a few years after me I spent a fair bit of time around Tile Hill/Canley in my teens/early 20's and on the whole it was fine. Obviously there were some areas worse than others and he may well have been around some of the less desirable bits. I also imagine being black would've been a big problem for him which I didn't have.

Trouble is he makes it sound like the whole area was a no-go zone when it really wasn't. I walked to and from Woodlands everyday for over five years and never had a single problem.
