Image caption Polish shops are a regular sight on Erdington High Street In the immediate aftermath of the momentous vote that signalled the end of Britain"s membership of the EU, the BBC visited Erdington, which has been described as a “Little Poland”.

Six months on from that surprise victory for Brexit, how does the expat community feel now?
“They"re here purely for money. They"re not here for the social aspects of life. They don"t contribute to the community spirit.”

Image copyright Getty Images Big Ben is to close its doors to visitors for a three-year renovation project.
The work, which will begin early in the new year, will cost £29m and involve repairs to the clock"s hands, mechanism and pendulum.
The “Big Ben” bell after which the Palace of Westminster"s Elizabeth Tower is more commonly known will fall silent to allow the work to take place.
It will be the first time Big Ben has been silent since 2007.
Parliamentary officials said the mechanism of the clock was in a “chronic state”, with fears that it may fail if work is not carried out urgently. There are also concerns that the fabric of the tower itself is reaching an “acute” condition.
