You don't help with people thinking you're an alt-right nutter when you're quoting alt-right nutters.

Pretty solid summary of it all really.
Again, a lot of people are attacking his thoughts on this as they're scared to be called racists and want to show the world that they aren't by shouting about it.
By all means one can say they're happy with how London has gone, but to deny it altogether is just odd. I for one don't feel like London is in my country. It feels like a different country when I go there.

Says the man who in the previous post refers to 'bloody Italians' lolF me the snow flakes on here would melt in Dubai where 80% of the population are foreign born. Brits actually make up the largest percentage of westerners in that equation too. The world is shrinking, everywhere is getting more diverse, grow up and deal with it.
That puzzles me greatly. You don't feel like London is in your country?
So much of the centre of London is so quintessentially English. The Tower of London, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, all the museums and galleries, Hamley's, Fortnum and Mason and Selfridge's, all the theatres, Buckingham Palace etc. etc.
We go to London a lot and travel all over London for my daughter's auditions and castings and it still all feels like London to me. Just with more foreign voices.
But in Coventry you also hear so many different languages nowadays.
You probably think blacks were the original inhabitants?John Cleese lives in the Caribbean and moans about foreigners who are the wrong colour..

No, why would I?You probably think Anglo Saxons were in this country.
You obviously didn't read my post. We go for auditions all the time.Quoting a few tourist attractions doesn't change anything.
Having a few foreign voices isn't an issue. Having British people as a minority in their own capital is in my view.
So much of it is a dump and so much of it looks nothing like England. Go out and explore it. If you did, you wouldn't be able to come back on here and pretend as if it's all teacakes and polo.
Actually most Romans that settled here were recruits from the rhineland and gaul but I get what your sayingIt’s still a far lower percentage than it was at it’s point of creation as it was created as our capital by the Romans so it was full of bloody Italians. But aside from that what have the Italians done for us?

Is this new Monty Python material?
And London is a fucking great city.

No, why would I?
The Ancient Brits were a Celtic tribe but no-one is certain what they looked like and they didn't inhabit the whole of the British Isles.
(But you probably knew that already being the expert on ethnicity you clearly are?)
Neither am I.I'm not an expert on anything.
Yes you did and made an idiot of yourself in the process.Difference is I don't pretend to be.

To be fair, he never said anything about colour
You tried to ridicule my post but your lack of knowledge on the subject instead made you look an idiot.I don't think saying you probably think this country was originally Anglo Saxon is laying claim to bring an expert. It was actually a paraphrasing of your post so as usual you're wide of the mark.
London has never been about tea-cakes and polo. It's never been posh either, in the places where the people who work for a living live anyway. Anyone who thinks that it isn't and hasn't always been multi-cultural has obviously never lived there.
Let's be honest here, your real definition of non-British is has a funny accent and/or is non-white, and or expresses attachment to a religion you don't like. Whether they've got citizenship, or the right to work here, or even were actually born here isn't what you actually think of when you think of someone as being 'British', is it? C'mon, be honest now...
True. I took that to be the inference.
I could be wrong and he could be including white Europeans, which makes it all the more hilarious that ESB and Dutchman are agreeing with him.
What is britishness then?Why do you hate your own country so much?
Common or not common, it doesn't matter. An abundance of halal butcheriours, knife crime and acid attacks are not what you would call a forward thinking and progress society.
I don't care where you come from, but if the mother culture is lost from a place, it isn't that 'place' anymore. A lot of people who are not from the UK have moved there and have started taking liberties. How can you deny that?
London as well as many other parts of the UK have lost their way. People like you have contributed to that but criticising anyone who doesn't like this as 'racist'.
Pathetic.
I haven't expressed any opinion on what he said, one way or the other.True. I took that to be the inference.

No, because the lefty crew shout racist and you follow suit. You're better than that.
He moved to the Caribbean and said how lovely all the black people are there. Sounds very racist to me...
It also doesn't invalidate his opinion either. As you know, my missus is Slovak and has said London doesn't feel like England.
If you like it, fair enough. If you don't, it should be ok to have that opinion too.
What is britishness then?
That's probably true of most large cities though isn't it?Yes, there is in the centre. Many of the suburbs are dreadful. Worse than anything around our patch. I lived for many years in South London in the 1980s and for short periods in seven sisters, Hammersmith and bethnel green.
What John cleese has said was as true then as it is now. It's also extremely deprived in huge areas, but you never hear about it. Hammersmith and Fulham sounds quite affluent but much of it is extremely poor, and there's far, far worse.
I haven't called him a racist, I've called him a hypocrite.
Somewhere like Fosehill Road... What do you think?
Why are you bothering anyway? You hate your own country too and are in denial about it losing its culture.
I'm not the one complaining, define it or stop being a bitch about losing something you can't even put your finger on. I love my country, hate that there are more and more backwards twats in it at the moment.Somewhere like Fosehill Road... What do you think?

You said he moans about people with a different skin colour. That's towing the narrative.
evergreen
No it's hypocritical considering he's moved somewhere where he's in the minority and is himself an immigrant.
May be he is racist ist, I don't know though I doubt it but he is a hypocrite.
To be fair, I highly doubt a racist would move to a place where almost all the inhabitants are of a different race
