"Imagine being a family of five living in a hotel room. You’ve got no cooking or washing facilities and no option but to wash clothes in the sink and live off takeaways - it may seem unthinkable, but this is the heartbreaking reality for thousands of households in Birmingham."

I was trying to find a 'good news' kind of story in the UK and came across this. I am not aware of this problem in Birmingham -- I am curious to learn more about this.

Read the full story here.

The Daily Mail would be the wrong place to look for good news stories. It has some interesting features in there, but a lot of it's hyperbole and junk articles.

Dug through BBC News, The Guardian, and them... this is the best I can find. I agree.
Typically I go on websites that are just for good news, and I only know of a couple -- both of which have American news stories only.

I haven't. Where do I find the 'good news' category on there? Sorry, I don't know German and the navigation bar is in German and won't auto translate (which sucks considering how long I lived there :oops: ).

I see that you did not even try the link -- it takes you to the English International page.

Dude, no need to get hostile, that's very unnecessary and highly inappropriate. I did try -- I wouldn't have said that if I didn't open the webpage. Menu bar is still in German and so I can't effectively navigate to find the 'good news' section which is why I asked for help and apologized in advance for potential inconvenience.

I took a screenshot of the bar. Evidence below.

Edit:
Reason why I'm asking for a 'good news' section is because I can't find any on the articles it shows on that page and the subsequent pages -- it looks like normal political news + current events.
