I live in north Manchester and I'm afraid his description is a mirror of how areas have become ghettoes of crime drugs begging. There are about 80% of the shops either Kabab curry or Turkish barbers far to many to sustain profit legally . The car washes get raided all the time by immigration. Not withstanding that the local Jewish areas have now been taken over by the Asian population and the Jewish population have moved further North. I want to move permanently to Thailand but my thai wife loves the UK so it's three months in the winter in Udon Thani .
so his description isn't racist but a fair description of what it's like living under a Trotsky government and previously under a failed Tory one.
