John Callaghan – The Nation’s Industrial Powerhouse
With self-styled terrorism expert Steve Emerson bringing Birmingham back into the news (if Fox News counts as a news programme) as a “no-go zone” for non-Muslims, it’s up to our resident Brummie, John Callaghan, to set the record straight with the help of seventies TV detective and expert on the West Midlands – the late Telly Savalas.
So here’s a new video created by John using footage from Harold Baim’s promotional film for England’s second city. Watching it, you really do feel as if you’ve been projected into the 21st century.
John is actually from Solihull. If you want to know what that means to him, check out his video for Midlander (There Can Only Be One) on YouTube and/or read his blog.
