The consequence of a thriving artistic community in Birmingham is not just a plethora of museums and historical statues...

With the bustling Custard Factory, Eastside Projects, gigs @The O2 Institute and underground clubs in former warehouses around Digbeth, the street art and graffiti scene in Birmingham is alive today with new artwork popping up all over the city every week.

Todays street art provides an extraordinary spectacle for our eyes.
It celebrates different heritages, fights for equality's, pays homage to icons and honours the heroes and villains of our society.

The "David Cameron pig story" refers to allegations made in a book published in 2015, "Call Me Dave," co-authored by Lord Michael Ashcroft and journalist Isabel Oakeshott. The book contained various claims about the former British Prime Minister David Cameron, including a controversial anecdote about an initiation ceremony during his time at the University of Oxford.
According to the book, during his university days, David Cameron was a member of the exclusive Bullingdon Club, a dining society known for its excessive behavior. The book alleged that as part of an initiation ritual for new club members, Cameron was involved in a bizarre incident where he allegedly placed a "private part of his anatomy" into the mouth of a dead pig's head. The claims in the book were based on anonymous sources and were not independently verified.
These allegations, commonly referred to as the "PigGate" scandal, created a significant media sensation and public controversy at the time. Critics of David Cameron seized upon the story to question his judgment and character, while many others dismissed it as unverified and unproven allegations.
It's worth noting that David Cameron, who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 2010 to 2016, did not directly address the specific allegations but stated that he was "too busy running the country to dignify them with a response."
The "David Cameron pig story" remains a notable and somewhat infamous episode in British political history, known for its unusual and controversial nature.

Digbeth, east of Birmingham city, with its run down empty factories and monolithic railway arches, has fast become the hub for street art and self expression.

Some of these projects have embedded themselves in the very fabric of Birmingham and are now as much part of the City’s identity as its iconic sculptures and landmarks. Some of them are also hidden as was the piece below in the derelict wholesale clothes warehouse S. Rose & Company Ltd - New Canal Street and Bordesley Street, Digbeth, also used as a location for filming of the movie Ready Player One back in August 2016.

Hunting down the great pieces of Birmingham street art is a rewarding experience any time of the year. Ive found the chances of less vehicles parked covering half the stuff in Digbeth is early mornings over the weekend, dont let the exiting wide eyed clubbers and drunk pub revellers put you off, normal people filter back in around day-break :)
Happy Hunting!
