If you haven't heard yet, Pakistan gained its independence from Britain 62 years ago on August 14th, 1947. We're all aware of Pakistan's current condition, and there are a few homeless people who give their thoughts on this national holiday:

Well in Bradford it's always chaotic, every car's got a flag on it, windows rolled down and all you can hear is 'dil dil pakistan' especially in highly pakistani populated areas (not saying that Bradford isn't all pakistani populated ). but the best thing about it are the sales in kashmiri and pakistani bazaar, whoop whoop!

Wilmslow Road is not celebrating it, it's just an excuse for their parents to stay out till late and scream with loud music on.
