Grand Prix Karting

While walking down the street one day a politician is tragically hit by a truck and dies.

His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.

'Welcome to heaven,' says St. Peter.
'Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you.'

'No problem, just let me in,' says the man.

'Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity.'

'Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven,' says the MP

'I'm sorry, but we have our rules.'

And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him.

Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people.

They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and champagne.

Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly & nice guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that before he realises it, it is time to go.

Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises....

The elevator goes up, up, up and the door re-opens on heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him.

'Now it's time to visit heaven.'

So, 24 hours pass with the MP joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realises it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.

'Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity.'

The MP reflects for a minute, then he answers: 'Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell.'

So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.

Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage.

He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above.

The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder. ' I don't understand,' stammers the MP.
'Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened? '

The devil looks at him, smiles and says, ' Yesterday we were campaigning.. ...Today you voted.

EXPLORING ABANDONED BIRMINGHAM WHEELS (CAUGHT BY SECURITY) ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ abandoned birmingham wheels never seen before footage first to exp...

****Read the Truth about Birmingham Wheels!!!

Birmingham Wheels was a thriving sports venue, enjoyed by 100,000+ unique users every year.

It was not 'under-utilised' as Birmingham City Council claims in their planning application.

It is only empty now because the Council evicted the thriving sports clubs and businesses.

Motor Racing Live, representing the clubs and businesses on the park, ALWAYS paid their rent in full, and on time (even throughout COVID, when they were unable to operate).

The Charity that operated Wheels for decades prior to this also paid the Council on time and in full.

The Truth that keeps the Councillors awake at night is this:

In order by-pass the very long lease that the Charity had on the land - the Council undertook a retrospective rent review, and conjured up a £800,000 debt.

To be clear: this was an imaginary debt ... but desperate measure are needed when your Council is going belly up and you need quick cash.

So, on one side, you have 100,000 ordinary people pursuing their sporting passion, facilitated by a charity and a company with an unblemished record of paying their way.

On the other you have a Council that has mismanaged their £5 Billion annual wedge, is beyond desperate to stay afloat, and will stop at nothing to hoover up more cash by flogging off protected community assets.

Even willing to stoop as low as bankrupting it's own charity, closing sports stadiums protected by law, and presenting a version of events so far from the truth that it makes the Royal Mail look positively angelic.

They are still saying that Wheels was underused and unloved - basically a dead place.

They say this in their new planning application (link below)

If any of the above ramblings have struck a chord with you ... PLEASE click on the link below and tell them:

How busy Wheels was
How much it meant to you
And that the only reason it is empty is that the Council forceably evicted thriving sports clubs that paid their rent on time.

Honestly, this is behaviour of the very worst kind ... and they think they are unaccountable.

But they have to listen to you, if you click below:

👋 Have you helped Love Birmingham Wheels yet?? ... please do, NOW is your time, and it will only take a few minutes ...

A quick read of this, a click at the end, and the Council will be listening ... 👀

.. while you tell them that Wheels was a popular sports facility, used by 1000s, before the Council closed it (probably to try and help with THEIR bankruptcy issue) ... 🤑

Read on, and please help ... 🙏

⏱ objections must be submitted by 11 Jan so we don't have long ...

Birmingham Council have just put in a planning application to demolish all the stadiums…. and the application is disingenuous to the point of fantasy – the fight starts here. 💣

⚠️ The application to demolish Wheels is being made despite the whole site being protected after two reports by Government Inspectors.

The Council say that there is no need for the stadiums to be saved as they were “Under-utilised”. 🤥

But … the Stockcar track alone had more than 800 local registered drivers and thousands of mechanics, spectators and drivers attended events across the year.

Overall, more than 100,000 unique users participated in sporting activities at the park annually.

Remember the “Champion of Champions”? The regular BriSCA F1 and F2 events? The “Children in Need” meetings?

Not “Under-utilised” … this is their fantasy, to justify their actions.

We must make our voice heard, show them how many people care – and if we do, they will have to listen.

For the sake of Birmingham Wheels, and all the drivers and spectators that loved the stadium, PLEASE comment on the council’s application, via the link below:

We ask you to consider the following as part of your individual response:

❤ 1. OBJECT to the planning application

💛 2. Tell them that the sports and recreation facilities at Wheels are very highly valued and for which there is a CONTINUING SPORTING NEED.

💚 3. Tell them why Birmingham Wheels is important to YOU.

💙 4. Maybe say that you: “Support the past and ongoing formal representations submitted by the 1000s of users, supporters and sports organisations of Birmingham Wheels, a very strong and powerful community of interest”.

Please CLICK the link below and do something wonderful to help our sport this weekend! 🙏
