London’s East End ‘Like Baghdad’, As Cockney Culture Dies Out
Breitbart ^ | 14 May 2016 | Donna Rachel Edmunds

Posted on 05/15/2016 3:08:50 AM PDT by detective

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.

Whitey is birth-controlling himself out of existence, because he can’t afford to make babies and take care of them. Meanwhile, the burka and beard crowd gets free money, lodging, phones and food, and can easily pop out millions of babies by means of their 4 “wives.”

Used to be a regular watcher of East Enders. I guess that would be a very different show today.

I'm sorry I missed it when I had the chance.

That's the story of regret the review mirror so often tells, but who knew which doors would now be closed forever or closed so quickly?

Open borders, doors closed, culture lost.

I felt a little like this when I arrived at Dulles airport yesterday.

“Your Greek immigrant grandfather, or at least his children, received instruction in the blessings of liberty and the promise of America.
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.”

No, actually he was told, as a 13 year old shoe shine boy, “Move along Greek. Only white boys can shine shoes here.”

” 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.”

You know, the Mohammedans around here seem to be assimilating at a rapid pace, especially the girls. Once they graduate from high school they lose the burkhas and are off to college, most of them studying medicine, nursing, biology etc. The boys are showing great athletic prowess and are likewise off to some fine colleges on full boat athletic and academic scholarships. One of the local boys graduated from the university last year and is off to law school in the fall. He’s a good kid, a smart boy. His girlfriend, btw, is also a Mohammedan but lost the burkha about three years ago when she arrived at college. Something is attracting them...I’ll bet it’s freedom and opportunity.

When we were young we went to Paddington Station too.

1 block away and it turns into a multi ethnic nightmare, but not really. It was a muslim nightmare. Men ogled my fiancé. We didn’t feel safe.

A year or 2 ago a muslim stabbed a woman to death in Paddington Station, IIRC.

When I walked through a park on my visit to London in 1985, a young woman with blond hair was walking with a male companion near a group of men who looked Middle Eastern. One of the men actually shouted at her in a Middle Eastern accent, “may I have your body, English girl?” He yelled that three times, but the girl ignored him.

See, thirty-one years ago, they were still polite. "May I have your body, English girl?" Not: "Into the alley, spread your legs, infidel bitch! Receive Allah's messenger!"

Today, if she ignores him, she gets beheaded after the rape or gang rape as the case may be. Or maybe crucified.

Posted on 5/19/2016, 5:55:04 PM by Lera

“The court documents also claim Pham was told to maximise the carnage by coating the bomb with metal bolts and cause as many casualties as possible.” To show how much he loved Allah and Muhammad!

“Former London McDonalds worker plotted suicide terror attack at Heathrow Airport, court hears,” by Amita Joshi, GetWestLondon, May 16, 2016:

A former McDonalds worker was trained by Al Qaeda to become a suicide bomber and attack Heathrow Airport , according to US court papers.

Minh Pham, who previously lived in South London’s New Cross, was taught to wear a backpack containing a bomb and target passengers arriving from America and Israel in the west London airport.
