Spot on mate....Try coming home from school through Camberwell every night at 15, having your trainers taken off your feet at knifepoint by 20+ lads whilst they rummage through your bags/pockets, I, and many other londoners have been in situations at 16 years old that some on here will never...
Guess you can't really comment unless you've grown up somewhere and seen the demographic change dramatically.
The thing people get the hump about is people from provincial places where this is not happening telling those of us that are living in it that we're racists because the madssive change...
Its a conversation which obviously is relevant to palace fans.
You won't see me commenting on anything Brighton related. Just thought I could offer input as It's applicable to me.
I'm the most south london on here. ;) here's my view:
Both bushy and my fellow palace fan are correct in parts.
Mitcham/pollards all the way to streatham vale and Phipps Bridge, are both socially and economically deprived parts of Merton, Brighton residents probably would last 2mins there. In...
haha - I like your posts Rev.....
I lived with a bird (honest) in seven dials in Brighton for 10 months - seriously, you lot don't know how good the quality of life is compared to SE London. The only difference is you're confined to Brighton if you want a night out, whereas I could be in a...
Yep, they look like a bunch of absolute divs! Can't argue with that one bit fella.
Where I come from, call someone a nonce and something is very likely to happen to them.
You probably wouldn't get that. Honestly wonder how well most of you would fare in Streatham/Thornton Heath/Norwood etc -...
Don't know why I'm even taking the bait really but.....
Simster, my old china.....Looking at your twitter display pic, you know you fall perfectly into this description pal. You have some cheek because you actually look like a regular palace nigel....and im aware there are many of those!
You...
LOL - don't you see??? The 'white hipsters' are middle class yuppies like yourself that think it 'cool' and 'edgy' to live with somewhere with a bit of charachter, in the same way dalston, whitechapel, brixton etc have been gentrified. The people who lived in Bow 30-40+ years ago took up 'white...
BBC One - Panorama, Immigration: How We Lost Count
Anyone remember this programme?
Lets face it, the government has no idea how many immigrants are in this country. The strain on infrastructure is an absolute reality.
(oh thats a link from 2007 I hear you cry)
Tenants were 'living in...
Beulah School, Thornton Heath

DfE, In Your Area
Bollocks, I have lived in Camberwell, Brixton, Croydon, Elephant and Castle, Kensall Rise, Dalston and also Burgess Hill.
Let me tell you, apart from the last one they are worlds apart from what you call 'home'

Wonder how many would consider sending their kids to the local school here, where they wanted my kids to go?
lessons in 12 languages taught to kids. The drain that must have on the native English speaking kids.
Without being condescending, the people championing the multicultural ideal tend to see the 'harmony' and 'diversity' when visiting these places for a few hours
before f***ing off back to 98% white, middle class Brighton - Not sure how many of you would like being plonked in the middle of...
He's 100% right though.
It's all well and good commenting on issues of immigration from your ivory towers in the multicultural non entity that is Brighton. Come and give south London a spin.
White middle class types who have moved to 'edgy' brixton/hackney/tottenham etc don't count either. As...
Certainly.
Dave (and yourself) obviously jumped ship for whatever reason. You are out of touch with local events and local hostility (especially with Hamza)
Therefore, you are unfit to comment on such matters.
Now, I know you will come out with a lefty retort about how thats some sort of...
Defend all you like, seems you're in the minority as far as the general consensus goes.
As someone said previously, hope they waterboard him for fun.
Must dash.....trees to hug
Daveinprague, do keep it up. You are doing a sterling job showing us how out of touch the self loathing loony left are in 2012
All coming from a fella that has emigrated :lol:
'but the neo nazis have training camps too' :nono:
Bore off to Borehamwood mate. Your pals going to have a great time...
