A string of racist graffiti which says “no whites” and “no whites allowed” in Birmingham is being investigated by police, The Telegraph can reveal.
The slurs appeared in three locations across the inner-city neighbourhood of Alum Rock last week.
CCTV obtained by The Telegraph shows the moment a hooded figure approaches the first location, a wall outside a primary school, on Thursday at around 1.20am.
After appearing to check if he was not being watched, he then sprays the slur “no whites” onto the wall, before swiftly departing into the night.
Another wall in Langton Road was later vandalised with the phrase “no whites”, while a third location in Farndon Road appeared to be graffitied with the slur “no whites allowed”.
Officers are investigating the graffiti and have been carrying out patrols in the area, West Midlands Police said.
There is no suggestion that the individual captured on CCTV is responsible for the other slurs.
Naveed Sadiq, 48, a community activist known as the Bearded Beys, claimed the graffiti was part of an effort to stir up racial tension in the area.
He said: “This is a message going out for this individual. You know who you are, and we will find out who you are because the police are now involved in this situation, you will be found, you will be charged, and you will be prosecuted because this is not an isolated incident. This is one of many.
“A lot of people from the community are saying that this is someone from the outside, this is not someone from the community. It’s awful, we are a community that invites everyone.
“It is what the purpose of coming to the United Kingdom is, living side by side and respecting one another.
“I can’t see anybody from our community doing that. People want to give us bad press.. people want to say we are unwelcoming.”
It follows a similar incident from 2017 when the slur “no whites allowed after 8pm” appeared in an area of Alum Rock.

>The population rose by almost 610,000 to 60.9 million between mid-2022 and the middle of last year – the biggest increase since 1949, when comparable records began.
>The ONS said the growth was largely down to record levels of net migration, which stood at 622,000 for the year to mid-2023.
It’s completely valid to have a discussion about immigration, but why put the figures in this article in particular when there’s no evidence that immigration is at all relevant to the story? Unless the Telegraph somehow thinks all non-white people are immigrants?

How long do you reckon it will be until the British or in fact European’s create Orania type places within their own countries?

I’m surprised they are reporting on this. I see racist graffiti all the time, normally with actual slurs which white isn’t, and it never gets its own article.

Skin colour isn’t an issue IMO, but religion sure is. I’d love to see more ‘No God Botherers’ graf, banned from all schools, etc – how people would unite based on class and wealth once again, to make life better.

As a white man, you can have Birmingham. It’s a fooking shit hole since it turned “no whites”

I’m amazed this is considered news worthy. The telegraph really doesn’t care what it spews out provided it inspires outrage and righteous indignation in their readership.

There’s a predominant culture in Birmingham. One that prioritises religion over country. One that prioritises having as many children as possible further tipping the demographics in their favour. One that has high rates of incest. One that votes for independent candidates that favour a conflict thousands of miles away over experienced (and good candidates in the case of Leicester East) MPs. One that chains dependent visa on dependent visa to get their whole families in the country and do what exactly.

I mean don’t worry I won’t be coming to alum rock anytime soon, but it’s the older people who have lived there years I feel sorry for! And people who have to go to work there.

I’m so cynical these days – is it some kook that is a member of a minority group or some white kook who wants you to think it was done by a minority group… perks of living in the age of ‘nothing is real and everything is possible’.

‘No whites’ written in white paint, the irony. Tensions are high and stupid acts like this isn’t going help. I hope the EDL, or what ever they are called these days, doesn’t go protesting there, the last thing anyone wants is a race riot. I hope it doesn’t s go that far but it does make me worried.

No-one said a word about it
