i loved this line from Yasmin AB
One writer, Liz Jones, of white working-class stock, sees through the cultural protectionism. Responding to beer-swilling blokes in Wibsey Working Men’s Club, in Bradford, who said on television that they had lost their place as the backbone of the nation because Asians were overtaking them, she wrote: “A snail with special needs would overtake this lot … It is patronising and not remotely useful to treat the white working class as though they are all helpless, giant toddlers in need of conservation.”

‘Also Richard Littlejohn went to live in a gated community in Florida, USA.’

Ah yes, I’d expect nothing better from that great patriot. Any way of locking the gates from the outside?

You forget that Davidson [spit] already fled the country in 2004, with the comment: “I may as well go to Dubai and be an ethnic minority there than wait five years till I become one here.”
(Nothing to do with his bankruptcy here and tax-free status there, of course.)

and alot of those moving out (in the last year) are due to redundancies in the big financial & property sectors which are dominated by white males

Even if it really was 2 million leaving without being replaced would that really be a surprise? Living in London is expensive and in some parts increasingly dangerous.

What’s wrong with wanting a better and safer life elsewhere?

How many of the Britons leaving London are white?

Im sure many British born ethnics are leaving London as well and even Britain as well, but the Tabloids wont mention them for obvious reasons.

Like some parts of Inner London, have gotten slightly whiter such as Kilburn, Swiss Cottage, Clapham, due to Yuppie influence.

I’m british asian born and bred in London for most of my life…and although i love london, i would probably want to move to surrey (just cuz i went to uni in surrey and loved it) …i wonder if the telegraph wanted people to read ‘british born’ as predominantly ‘white’???
