London’s Cockney culture is being driven out of one of its last remaining bastions, Newham in East London, which has seen its white population halved in the last 15 years. The area now has the lowest white population in London leading to pubs and working men’s clubs are closing down and a loss of Christian traditions.
The borough of Newham lies just five miles east of the City of London, banking capital of the world, but locals say it now looks less like a British city, more like Baghdad.
The area was once characterised by its white working class population, mostly cockneys who moved in during the 1800s as dockworkers during an era of unprecedented global trade. But now ethnic minorities make up 76 percent of the borough’s population, making it the most multicultural place in Britain.
“People who haven’t been for many years come out of Upton Park Station and say: ‘I can’t believe what’s happened here, it could be Baghdad,’” says Peter Bell manager of the East Ham Working Men’s Club.

It’s a shame you feel that way. My Greek immigrant grandfather volunteered to go fight the Huns in 1917 and carried German lead in him to the day he died he loved this country and the fact that he was an American citizen so much.
No Andy Capp actually voted for the Socialist Party (when he voted at all), the Brit version of a “gimme dat”.
Would it make any difference if he voted for the British cuckservative party? What did the British cuckservative party do to stop London from being turned into a combination of Nigeria and Pakistan?
When I visited London in 1985, I stayed in a hotel across the street from the Paddington railroad station. There were so many Middle Easterners in the neighborhood that I thought momentarily that the Lufthansa pilot that took me to London had made a mistake and landed in Beirut.
It has nothing with the way I “feel” it’s just simply a fact.
What the hell does being an American mean if this is an American?

These are all “Americans”. It means nothing other then they have a piece of paper saying they’re Americans.
Muslims are colonizing countries with nuclear arsenals.
I’m glad your experience is so positive; I see the impact in my area and I don’t think it is a good thing. Americans can’t many jobs because they can’t speak Spanish (to deal with the clientele), yet they are forced to fund the public schooling of the immigrants (whose parents often are either on the dole or working under the table).
Realistically we are not changing these people into “Americans”; just look at any fast food chain’s menu and how they have changed over the past couple of decades. They aren’t changing us, just replacing us. Without them, due to the low American birthrate, we’d have ghost towns all around the northeast.
interesting unemployment stats from Wiki
United Kingdom...5.1...2016 (February)[125]
United States.......9.7...2016 (March)[126]
Huge difference though is there not? Many Hispanics are Roman Catholic i.e., Christian tradition. Muslims share only Islam and have no place for Christianity and its traditions. Eventually they will require Sharia only in their areas and voilà another Pakistan.
“Americans can’t many jobs because they can’t speak Spanish (to deal with the clientele), yet they are forced to fund the public schooling of the immigrants (whose parents often are either on the dole or working under the table).”
When I was a little kid, I spoke Greek with my mother, English with my father and French when I went out to play. When I was in high school I got jobs at a local jewelry store. I had to speak French “to deal with the clientele”! No French, no job! I’ve used that French, complete with a strong Montrealaise accent, all over the world, even in an Indo Chinese jungle drinking blood soup with Hmong tribesmen. I should think Spanish could come in handy too. Of course we are funding ESL classes here too. But the overwhelming majority of the immigrants here are NOT on the dole or working under the table. In fact, the percentage of welfare use among the immigrants as a group is a fraction of what it is among our local home growns!
As for food, well last night my oldest was eating “lobster poutine”. French Canadian food is one of the true joys of life! Even if the French is gone, the food is still here and now we get to eat Ethiopian sambussa with it!
America is changing and what these latest immigrants are assimilating into isn’t and won’t be the America our Irish old people fought to assimilate into...for decades and decades, really 100 years, after they left in the Great Hunger. I haven’t got a problem with that. Flexible cultures survive and adapt. Rigid, tribal cultures like those in Europe eventually get conquered.
“Muzzies will get rid of the monarchy. Probably by the time it is prince George’s time to be king”
Long before that. I doubt that William will be king.
I’d definitely prefer Hispanics to Muslims, but we’re getting the latter as well...
Part of my family is from the Gaspe Peninsula; definitely good food in Quebec. Niagara Falls also had a great poutine place the last time I was there. The WASP American culture (which the Irish, outside of their faith, were raised with) isn’t being conquered; it is contracepting itself into extinction (as are the European cultures). I, as well as my children, speak Spanish (my wife is one of them); the country has to pick one language and work with it. Bilingualism doesn’t work and just creates division.
I know there are more whites on welfare than others, but poor whites can’t remain in my area; it simply isn’t safe. Our Welfarian population is primarily black & brown.
I understand your point, but England has proven to be an assimilating force over the years. I believe most Jamaicans there have assimilated well and have good relations with the ethnic Brits, after perhaps a rough start. Indians as well. Brits just have a way of adopting the better parts of their old Empire and making them British in a way that America has as well. Probably not a coincidence either. Tea and curries there, pizza and tacos here. :) Christianity and a drive towards commerce and exchange.
But there is just something about Islam that cannot be breached. It has the Arab tribalist attitude woven thru it that will always be impassible. I’m hoping that their kids will like Americanism enough to break free but what do we offer today? Crap music, white guilt studies at school and nothing but sexual sin and murder on tv. Which, in essence, is the opposite of what this country is really about.
Just an FYI......the Hilton on Park Lane now has a Halal room service menu.
Assimilation works very well when you allow in small numbers from any particular culture. When you allow a place to be continually flooded by just one group it becomes harder and harder.
Muslims aren’t being required to assimilate.
I ate at a Chinese restaurant yesterday and the fortune cookie insert was in Spanish.
It’s not a large Hispanic area and I found it quite humorous.
The owner was there and I said “No habla Espanol.” and he just laughed and said neither did he. It was a shipping error.

He wasn't handed SNAP applications and a EITC as he came off the boat, and his children weren't taught critical race theory and white privilege and American imperialism in school.
