Is London no longer an Englishish city ?

Well according to John Cleese it isn't, he was quoted as saying:

/// "I had a Californian friend come over two months ago, walk down the King’s Road and say, “Where are all the English people?” ///

/// "I mean, I love having different cultures around. But when the parent culture kind of dissipates, you’re left thinking, “Well, what’s going on?”

Diverse: Areas of London like Whitechapel, pictured below, are extremely multicultural:

/// Is it the number of English folk in London or the number of non-white folk in London that concerns you? ///

Neither it's the changing face of England that concerns me.

Still like to know how many are tourists, in those cities I mentioned.

But still lets play your game.

/// The original poster provided figures for you, demonstrating why there's a very significant chance they could be tourists.///

/// London attracts 15.2million foreign tourists every year. They add £8.6billion to London's economy.///

Then perhaps he would also like to produce the figures on how many immigrants London attracts, and at what cost?

I live in a small Country Town in Suffolk, and what was once a local sub post office near me has been taken over by a Pakistan family selling grocery's etc who I think are trying to capitalize on the increasing number of immigrants who have been moving into the area lately.

I went to post a few letters as there's a post box outside and didn't have enough stamps, so I went in and asked them for some stamps, not only did they not speak English, the shop looked like you see in documentary's in the slums of India etc and stunk rotten.

ah, that'll be because of all the curries they cook up to feed their pariah dogs.

[THECORBYLOON]

aog, if you believe there are too many immigrants in London, perhaps you'd like to provide the facts and figures

[THECORBYLOON]

aog, with regard to the changing face of England, does it matter to you if an English person is not white?

[MrMister]

I think people are mistaking asians with british asians. There is a huge difference. British Asians are well proud to be British just like any one of us and have the right to be. The asians that I think are putting us all off are the ones who come in the country as asylum seekers, students, workers etc normally from Arab, African and Indian countries.

Oh and lets not forget the Polish ?

[emmie]

No its not.

[MrMister]

Well the asians I have worked with and know are all British. I often find the foreign ones to be little complicated.

[Brenden]

I think you would have to live 24/7 in London to be fully aware how it is altering.

[emmie]

Brenden, you are right, and we do, and i can say that it's not the city i was born into and brought up in.

Even on the way into London via Ponders End, Edmonton, Tottenham, Stamford Hill, all these areas are multicutural.

And sh!tholes too.

If you go to South Africa all the white owned farms are being taken over by blacks. No talk of racial discrimination there!

If you go to Rhodesia, the same happens there except many of the white settlers have been slaughtered in cold blood. No talk of racial discrimination there even though the farming industry is now going to the wall.

In faraway Britain we are expected to act differently!

[Gromit]

Rhodesia hasn't existed for 30 years.

I know of a English greengrocer who had been in business for years, and who because of his small shop displayed some of his produce on a table outside the frontage of his shop.

Since the pavement outside his shop was extra wide, there was no obstruction problems caused by this table, but regardless of that the Council one day decided that he could no longer display his produce outside his shop, consequently it was not long before he was forced to close due to the drop in trade.

Now it seems that displaying items for sale outside shops in ethnic areas is common place, and no councils seem to be bothered about that.

I wonder why?

[THECORBYLOON]

Are you saying that in those same areas, there are no English shopkeepers doing the same and putting stuff out on the pavements?

[anotheoldgit]

No English shopkeepers in these areas, full stop.

[THECORBYLOON]

Care to name the areas?

[DTCwordfan]

Of course what AOG means is English caucasian as many of the shopkeepers on the streets of London or wherever are English citizens but with a different ethnicity......

He has obviously conducted a thorough survey. I had suggested earlier that John Cleese had replaced the Office for National Statistics but it appears he is being assisted by aog. Apologies for that error,,,
