This does not surprise me at all. I lived in central London during the mid-1980’s, then again in 1999-2000. The dramatic changes I saw from the 1980’s to 2000 was primarily the result of a huge influx of Arabs with loads of money. The visible effect was lots of muslim harems being chauffer-driven in Bentleys to the Harods department store(Arab owned), lots of Arab banks, and many Arab landlords, including the owner of my rental property. I can only imagine what London looks like today, 8 years later.
Western civilization is selling its assets to the muslim world for oil. How long will we continue to talk (and do nothing) about energy independence?
The vast wealth came from the US and Britain for the oil that leaders in America refuse to supply. I swear, there are days the French were on the money with their revolution what with the guillotine on wheels and all.
