English Town Name Change

[Lickey]

My friend in UK called last night for a general chit-chat and he told me he was going to work in Wisbechistan today, Apparantly thats what the fenland locals call Wisbech because of the amout of eastern europeans there,

Anybody want to add to this??

Yes, why do have no-brain racists as friends? Is Wisbech really so wonderful that its very sanctity is being threatened by immigrants. Tell your knuckle-dragging buddy to come and join you in Thailand, where there are no unwanted foreigners...oh.

Actually there is a book that has just been published about Asian gangs called Londonistan, written by an Asian.

Where I live in West London there is a big Sikh community and some of my Sikh colleagues often refer to Londonistan in a jokey way. So does that make them racists too polecat or is it only racist when white people say it?

I'd like to add the complete lack of Thai connection in this topic, and with that close the thread.

Thank you.
