A lot of white people spit and litter. I don’t think the councillor knows what she is talking about.

Geez it’s embarrassing; even my 80 something grandmother spits, and when she was here in the UK, she didn’t do it on the street, she did it in the neighbour’s garden. The Councillor has a huge point, pity she’s White so she couldn’t make it. We need more Asian councillors!

Much worse than throwing stuff out of windows is the disgusting spitting on the streets I see everyday in East London. And guess what? I have never seen a white guy doing it, except on televised football matches. A loud clearing of the throat followed by projectile spit is not a good sight.

Its a sad fact but she is right..anyone been to the sub-continent will know how dirty the place is. Not condoning her remarks btw.
Indians in this country have lack of respect for there surroundings…just go to Southall or Ealing rd….to see the litter everywhere…

Litter is the bane of all our lives, except in the City.

“Every street in the City is swept by hand at least twice and sometimes up to six times every weekday, while at night the roads are swept mechanically every weekday.”

And we have our own mayor!!

Of course the all-white council estate down the road from me is always in pristine condition. No litter anywhere. Ever.

Sunny:

“I canâ€™t remember the last time I chucked rubbish out of my windowâ€¦. IN THIS COUNTRY!”

Given the cap-sized emphasis “IN THIS COUNTRY,” does this mean that you remember the last time you threw trash out your window IN OTHER COUNTRIES?

I’m not sure about you guys but as a Briton of Indian origin I can’t remember the last time I chucked rubbish out of my window…. IN THIS COUNTRY!

“LOL, believe it or not what she is saying is probably true. Iâ€™ve experienced â€˜our lotâ€™ doing that a fair bit, just from my own experience.”

Yea we are a little oversensitive…she was hardly condescending…

LOL, believe it or not what she is saying is probably true. I’ve experienced ‘our lot’ doing that a fair bit, just from my own experience.

Still, obviously, it was wrong for her to bring the subject out this way. Btw was this a private email?

Well, you’ve gotta hand it to her. In India, all castes (subcastes, and subsubcastes) and creeds of cretins do throw their litter all over the place.
The old girl must’ve been to India and seen it with her own eyes? No?
