"Spot The White Man-Immigration Invasion-Peckham" YouTube

I've never really understood this need for a network and wanting to mix with others from your own country.

I have lived in quite a few places - most recently moved to Luanda, Angola. The last place I wanted to live is Talatona - a suburb of Luanda - where all the British and English speaking expats live. I couldn't speak a word of Portuguese when I arrived but I moved directly from my hotel in to a rented house in a bairro where I have never yet met an English speaking expat since I moved here.

There are a few whitish Brazilians and Cubans and a fair few Portuguese around. If you only mix with your own country men you will never master the language quickly nor integrate in any way.

Sometimes it's nice not to stand out. Lived in Portsmouth for about six months and outside of the Uni term time could go for ages without seeing another black face. Coming back to Bristol, the first thing I noticed was that I might as well have been invisible and that was such a relief.

Another factor is the availibility of cultural products ie foodstuffs, cosmetic goods, clothing etc entertainment ie music, films, books, ya get me :cool:
and remember that I'm a born and raised Englishman only internally migrating a 100 or so miles.
 
I am suprised some twat didnt accuse you of making that all up!
The thing is most of the MC Liberal Left can condemn "White Flight" but " Black flight" just confuses them too much.....

Loads of people from Asian/Black backgrounds move out to the suburbs because they are fed of the constant influx of posh white incomers and immigrants into some inner city areas...They are fed up with the high levels of crime,the litter and the noise.

It's why so often some work two or three jobs Mr Baldwin plus a lot of people don't realize just how few from Asian/Black backgrounds actually lived in inner city areas before they came her. The amount of people who are surprised when I tell them my mum was a farmers daughter is ridiculous.
 
Why ? Would you send your kid to a school that was 95% Bangladeshi and where the vast majority of those do not have English as thier main language ?

My kid goes to a school like that. Only diff is that the percentace is 85%, and the majority of the students are chinese.
 
This is the thing that the BNP and other racists can't ever understand that 99% of people in London DO NOT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT WHERE PEOPLE ARE FROM!
Its implicit in being in London that somebody is from a different place. At my work place there is only one person who was born in London, the rest are from up north or south-west.

Talking from experience growing up in Camberwell in the 1980's, issues around race/immigration were small even though there had been a big influx of vietnnamese from the Hong Kong boat camps. There was only minimal, non-idealogical racism. I hate it when people think that the BNP "might have a point" and have "valid concerns". The only concern is distribution and logistics of services to meet peoples needs, and it remains that the wealth gap is increasing, rents are a joke, and the real problem of migration is middle-class migration into low-income working class areas.

I so want to buy you a pint right now - top post

Yes... I did.. and actually, I became a Parent Governer too.. and it's a very VERY good school, giving my child one of the best kind of all-round educations she's going to need in the future... why, should anyone have a problem with this? :hmm:
 
I think they should go to earls court and play spot the australian.Oh sorry they are of the right colour.Its like they say chinatown there are chinatowns all over the world .When people enter a country they go to areas their family have told them about ie southall (asian) kilburn (irish) camden town (greek and irish)
 
That pissed me off, so I made one myself.

BNP spot the white man, stapleton rd, bristol.



It isnt quite the same I am forced to admit ;-)
 
Bajie is right. Segragation can be a problem.
Luckily, not where I live. Social housing in Lambeth was unofficially segregated and when John Major was on the council he got that changed. A lot of older black people remember him with great respect because of that.
 
"That toddler is carrying a blade" - good stuff :D

Not subtle but then you can't really be subtle in this sort of situation can you?
 
I cant do subtle - that was the toned down edit. That bnp lot just make me soo mad - I chased a car last week on my pushbike cos i recognized the Churchill dog off the web site.

My therapist says I need is a proper fight with a nazi to work it all through - yet to encounter them anywhere in Bristol.
 
It is all a bit bizarre though. I watched the BNP video and if it hadn't had the captions I'd have just thought "a boring youtube video of somebody walking down a high street" because that's what it is. About one person in a million would think "JESUS FACKIN CHRIST there's not a majority of white folk there and also THERE'S NO JELLIED EEL SHOP the BASTARDS".

(There *is* actually a pie and mash shop by Shepherds Bush Market, which is usually pretty busy, and does eels.)
 
Indeed - mad - ' no jellied eel shop ' lols.
My piss take war cry for them is ' save the pork pie ' .

I fear they will never all die - british people seem to like to have a silly little nazi party, it can liven up debate, and they are sooo much fun, well most of them.

I don't want to get into this but I don't agree with either of these two dogmatic positions.
 
Is it dogmatic not to be racist then? Is it dogmatic to be happy with your child's school?
Can I suggest not posting if you dont want ' to get into this'.
 
Having a school 95% Bangladeshi in my local area has been seen as an issue by friends of mine who tried to send their children to that school.
 
i hate the racist cunts who sneer at Peckham and Brixton - as if hte mere prescence of crowds of people signify "sewers" etc.

If I caught someone filming peckham for racists purposes, equating the people as a symbol of how far england is fucked up etc, I'd probably try and ram the fucking camera into the cunt's eye.

Yea - by your racist friends. I thought you dint want to get into this - why dont you just piss off then ?

:facepalm::facepalm:

I really don't want to get into this, but this is such an ignorant comment that I can't let it pass.

These friends are not racist.
 
then why are they so uncomfortable with being in a minority?
why don't you want to get into this?
have you not thought it through enough?
stand up for yourself
 
I don't want to get into it because its so easy for people on a thread such as this to take things the wrong way and I don't know the full details other than the ethnic composition of the school made it difficult for these friends sons to settle in this school and they had to be taken out of this school.

And these are mixed race children in both cases.

unfortunately mixed race children can have racist parents too but seeing as you don't want to get it into this, I won't tell you that.
