living in lee at the time of the riots (you have mentioned lee i have been a lee resident for years much as i am trying to keep out of the south london one upmanship) i was away working that week and lee was the f***ing interface between lewisham and eltham.
the only time the OB got agitated...
if people not finding you funny is your idea of an endorsement then i am amazed you are not carried off shoulder height being cheered by everyone on here.
nibble it was a shit post. really not funny in the slightest. as for surgeon i think you have turned up hungover forgotten to wash your hands and left a pair of gloves in the patients body after.
i would love t know when this was because, well, its just not f***ing true and never has been. its as white and British as you can f***ing get. Why do people continue with this delusion. Its been white, wealthy and tory for most of the time, thsi reinvention is exactly it. most brightonians...
thats probably the most tragic post i have ever read on here.
this is what i am on about when i get sucked into these things. dont really need to say any more. I think everyone with half a brain sees the snobbery and lack of compassion and empathy in this post, while implying the poster is...
i understand, conversely, why ethnic minorities would not want to move to sussex. I know a number of friends who looked at moving to Brighton and the lack of diversity and the fact their kids would be in a very small minority were cited as reasons not to, when I was championing the place to...

blah blah blah berlin wasnt a nazi stronghold far too cosmopolitan etc etc. still Head Office though wasnt it.
conversely i couldnt give a flying f*** about detroit its on another continent.
my issue is with my own state broadcaster distorting an easily identifiable truth that everyone actually involved in the issue (who dont need protecting, its not the fifties with gangs of teds on the rampage round...
if you have an interest in urban history then perhaps you could provide something to counter my flimsy anecdotal evidence. talking to neighbours every day having these people in and out your own home socially and actually having discussions about white people leaving and the make up of the area...
talking to black neighbours who own houses in london that they could easily cash in on and move somewhere leafier with the money. selling 2 houses to black families personally. unlike the author. its far more complex than his piece which takes stats and creates his own narrative with, which...
the funniest/saddest bit of all in the utterly deluded BBC piece is the implication that ethnic minorities are 'trapped' in inner London due to poverty. It just displays such a lack of connection with the real world, were people are earning decent money own 400k houses and simply choose to live...
