Nonsense, the few thousand Huguenots aside, who were fellow christians, London has been almost entirely white indigenous until after WW2. There has been many lies recently in books by lying black activists and the BBC to claim Britain has always been diverse, it has all been debunked. The pathetic arguments about 'black' African Roman troops and a few ancient black burials have all been disproven. Sad that people are so desperate that they have to hijack others history.

Ah, somebody else keen to display their ignorance on the matter of the diverse and multicultural history of London.

It's fine until you venture into the ghettos, places like Tower Hamlets. You wouldn't want to be white and walking alone around that sh hole.

The Bangladeshi 'community' there gave me a very warm welcome about 15 years ago when I was walking back to my Isle of Dogs room alone. 6 kind young men relieved me of all my possessions at knifepoint. 

 

Maybe Khan can take Trump for a wander around Tower Hamlets after 9pm. 

 

I'm sorry that you got mugged but, unfortunately, it happens. However, it certainly doesn't prove that London as a whole is some crime-infested cesspit as some posters have suggested, or that London is a worse place to live than it was 40 years ago.

 

The demographics change. Imo most of South London is a much healthy and wealthier place to live compared with 40 years ago. Some areas (e.g. Tower Hamlets?) may be worse.

I lived in Woolwich and Eltham in the 90s and it was far safer than it is now. My local pub was 50 metres from where the Muslim guy practically beheaded Lee Rigby in broad daylight a few years ago.  

 

Couldn't pay me to live there now. Most of my friends have moved out to nearby counties. Hampstead is still OK.

Come, then. Demonstrate that 'ignorance' with some facts, rather than empty comment.

 

You know, things like -

  • Catholics weren't allowed to live in London or hold public office until the The Catholic Relief Act of 1791.
  • All Jews were booted out of England in 1290 through the Edict of Expulsion and were not allowed to return until 1656.
  • The 1596 Elizabethan edict that authorised the Lord Mayor of London, amongst others, to “take up…Blackamoores here in this Realm and to transport them into Spain and Portugal" - although this also required the "consent of their masters”, which was invariably not forthcoming.

Yes, 'alternate history' is all the rage. Take that nonsensical faux-Regency series 'Bridgerton' as a classic example. It's ironic, of course, that if the Left narrative is one of historic racial oppression of ethnic minorities by the white majority, how does that square with a series that depicts said minorities as influential and respected equals in Regency England? Especially since I suspect many younger viewers will take it as fact.

Stating the obvious, London is a big place and there are many areas which I know very little about (especially NE London), and which might have deteriorated. However, the areas with which I am most familiar (Inner South London, Westminster, the City and parts of West London) are imo, on the whole, much better places to live/ work today compared with 40 years ago.
