00:00I'm here to visit my mother-in-law with my wife, bring my kids with me, two girls.
00:04Their perception of Birmingham based on the bin strike is what a dump.
00:09And it's somewhere it puts them off living here, either working here or studying here.
00:14They just go, Dad, despite my love for Birmingham, they go, Dad, I'd never live in Birmingham.
00:18And the bin strike sort of exacerbates that perception.
00:22No, I'm really not happy about the bin strike.
00:25I want the people to be able to go to work and get the pay they should get.
00:28I'd like to ask you if you'd go for an £8,000 pay cut and see how you'd react.
00:33Hopefully you join a union and you go on strike and you'd fight back for it.
00:37I can understand their point of view, but on the other side, when they're leaving Birmingham to have such a bad name across the country,
00:45because everybody's just focusing on it, it's not good for Birmingham citizens to be questioned,
00:51because I get questioned from other people to say, what's it really like and stuff.
