  • @ScottishCaledonian Some black people are unpleasant, so are some Muslims, so are some Scots, doesn't mean we should label them all with the same brush, does it?

  • Comment removed

  • @ScottishCaledonian and lets not start with the scots! Thievin stabbin alcoholic thugs... at least there's no domestic violence in Scotland is there? And the food those savages eat! Horse feed and fried mars bars... At least that's what it said in the Sun, or was it the Mail...

  • @epsoff You obviously have absolutely no concept of proportion, and I could not care what you think about the Scots, at least I live in my own country :)

  • @epsoff sorry I'd rather have Scots than 6 million Africans,Arabs,Indians and Pakistanis. He's right London is no longer an English city.

  • They look all the same!!

  • Just think, everyone in this video is now dead along with their dreams, hopes and worries. Even the ginger haired kid at the start would be nearly 100 if alive today.

  • @MrOceaneagle I reckon the ginger haired girl to be about 4 possible she was born in 1922 which would make her 90 now,might still be alive.

  • @twoslices Yes mate, always a possibility, my old Mum is 88 and although weak, blind, deaf and very infirm she's still here. She claims that her 40 a day cigarettes habit helped.

  • 0:14 - Hitler posing for the camera.

  • 85 years later and that same street in London is filled with "multicultural" debris. Fucking shame.

  • @Me262Pepper Fuck off Kraut

  • @Me262Pepper your avatar is a pic of Hitler hugging a small girl. Mine is of 2 buskers in Waterloo, neither of whom were born here. I have more in common with them than you, despite us both being white. So, go fuck yourself, you mental, hate-filled paranoid, exploitative turd. Go and have a wank over Hitler, nazi cunt.

  • @epsoff

    baaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  • a 1926 film and you lot are arguing , what would enoch powell say ?

  • @192america Protect the ruling class by any means necessary, distract the working class from the true nature of their exploitation by blaming all the problems of society on people with darker skin. Divide and conquer. At least, that's what I imagine he would say in private. In public of course, he would say, 'ooh those smelly darkies, it's all their fault! The collapse in your pensions? The darkies! Unemployment? The darkies! Bad weather? The darkies!'

  • @superhamzah85 go back to Arabia shitbag terrorist

  • @talara18

    NO. I've already told you, this country is mine. ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US!

    Jesus fucking Christ get over it, it's only a country, and now it's MINE. You can't stop me or anyone else. I own you.

  • @talara18

    King Offa, Anglo-Saxon King of Mercia, in your country. Look up his coin "King Offa coin"

    Now what's the language on the top? It's Arabic. You're country has been mine for over 1300 years, we've just been employing you as slaves to build it up, for when the time comes.

    Damn if I was Arab that would be a cool point to make.

  • @superhamzah85 I'd like to see how they treat you in Russia if you were born there they would not see yo as Russian. This is not your'e country.

  • @talara18

    I

    You don't KNOW anything, all you know is here. And if this ain't someones country, you go and tell them in person they're not welcome. You won't, because you have no balls. YouTube warrior.

  • @superhamzah85 what's your first langauge?

  • @talara18

    Baby talk

    Then I Iearned English. By the time I was 5, I had better grammer than the average EDL supporter.

  • @superhamzah85 you couldn't just tell me what language your mother tongue is, most people can speak by the age of 18 months -2 years, clearly Arabic or Urdu or Farsi or whatever is your mother tongue. you're not English mate.

  • @talara18

    Anweg adon aceor fam fram brutan facne aletan ut.

  • @talara18

    What's your first language?

    Coz you sound like a foreigner to these English people.

    /watch?v=4L7VTH8ii_8&feature=r­%ADelated

    I know some Old English by the way, and the funny thing is, if we went back in time, I could have them lynch you. Race didn't mean a thing when every single battle was between linguistic groups instead of racial ones.

  • @superhamzah85 In England we speak English, I'm English I speak English dimwit not Ayrabic

  • @talara18

    Bregenes Wyfeness!!

  • @talara18

    La a'atakallam al Arabiyyah.

    I speak several languages by the way,, and I'm a keen linguist, getting into a discussion about language with me - is suicidal, :-)

  • @superhamzah85 just watch this arab v=lF6zBJjvyOQ says it all. Mate you are not of English ethnicity you are not English, it is not you're mother tongue. stop kidding yourself and have a look in the mirror you don't look English.

  • @talara18

    You look in the mirror - you will see a German. The summers are lovely in Jutland, have fun. ^_^

  • @superhamzah85 No arab thou didst not own thine self, you couldn't even speak my flipping language till you were 5, it's not your mother tongue I do not look like a kraut besides like I said I have celtic well as anglo saxon blood in me, probably even pre celtic on the mitochondrial side, Would you tell all south Slavs who conquered the Balkans in the 7th centuary AD to go back to Western Russia or the that Turks should go back to Central Asia, you are not of English ethnicity accept it.

  • @talara18

    Gosh you are dumb.

    NEWSFLASH: I am not Arab, and NOT ONCE did I claim to be English. And another Newsflash: I do not live in England. I have never lived in England. And I don't know Arabic.

    SEE? You have invented all the arguments yourself, you make things up in your head. You still don't understand the difference between language and grammar, you make a logical fallacy in every message. If there was a strawman argument competition, you'd get the gold medal.

  • Thine = me, you're right I did not own MYSELF, I owned YOU.

    And I've done it once again..

  • @talara18 No really Kraut, if that's your attitude you can fuck off to your stinky shit pit in central europe. If you hate on race, then how can you excuse yourself? you're a hypocrite. I'm British, light tan, love multicultural London, love variety in appearance and food and music and religion and culture, AND I FUCKING HATE RACIST CUNTS LIKE YOU SO FUCK OFF OUT OF MY COUNTRY AND GO BACK TO YOUR OWN.

  • @epsoff sorry mate this is my country. But in the words of John Cleese 'London is no Longer an English city'. and he's right. I aint no kraut.

  • @talara18 sorry I didn't realise it was your country. I'll start paying my taxes to you then. Have you told the Queen? And why do you let the City of London rob everyone blind, then try and deflect blame for our impoverishment on people with darker shades of skin? Anglo-Saxon = Invader, if you want to play the race card, don't be surprised when it hits you back. The Anglo-Saxon's were also violent, slave-taking, raping pillaging savages. DIfferent to for example my ex,

  • @talara18 (continued from below) different to my ex, who is a beautiful Asian girl studying to be a surgeon. When you have a heart attack will you refuse the help of a darker skinned doctor? Please do, it would do us all a favour. Sorry, but I hate hatemongers.

  • @talara18 seriously why could you not speak until you were 5? Are you mentality impaired or something, or more likely you spoke Arabic, because your are an Arab not English.

  • @superhamzah85 by your absurd reckoning Serbs should go back to Russia, Hungarians to Central Asia, Turks to Central Asia, Try walking around Serbia or other Eastern European countries and see how they treat you. if you were born there they would not regerd you Serbian, I promise you I lived in Serbia for a year, they were nice enough to me, but they don't like Muslims and if there would be an arab in Belgrade they would tell him to piss off him, no one would bat an eyelid.

  • @talara18

    The Israelis and Palestinians don't like each other, French and German, Chinese and Japanese, anymore news headlines from the source called the 'bleeding obvious'?

  • @superhamzah85 so by your reckoning there is no such thing as an ethnicity or race atall and maybe we should all just go back to Africa coz we came from there 150,000 years a Back to Central Asia or Serbs back to Russia Arabs in North Africa back to Arabia? you're argument is absurd.

  • @talara18

    It's not my argument you idiot. It's YOURS. I'm showing you WHY it's absurd.

  • I'm educating you, in the only way you can understand, by being a bigger dickhead than you. Being civilized is for civilized people, I can direct you to discussions where people deserve my civility, you are not one of them.

  • @superhamzah85 they happen to be more civilized than you arabs.

  • @talara18

    You don't believe in civil rights, right rights of civilians, people who are citizens. I'm more civilized than you.

    That is why I make you look like penis puss oozing from your own misery.

  • @superhamzah85 Hmmm yes, shall we look at how civilized the arabs are for a moment, did you watch gaddafi's lynching,the repressions in Syria, Arab genocide of black africans in Darfur, barbaric war in Yemen, Saudia Arabia hanging homosexuals and adulterers, do not tell me about civil rights and democratic values.

  • @talara18

    Aww poor little boy now assumes I'm an Arab. You REALLY are desperate to know my race right? Because you can't be a racist without knowing it. lol

  • By the way, regarding Libya, live for forty years under a brutal dictator, THEN you have a right to a judgement. If you have done that, I will listen to your accusations of barbarism with full attention, and a fully erect cock.

  • @superhamzah85 you're people are Barabians, do you see British soldiers lynching afgahns? No. I don't support the war in afgahnistan, but atleast British soldiers and other Europeans are civilized in their conduct,

  • @talara18

    Are you a prankster? Or just self-amusing yourself.

    What do you think my response will be to that?

    With such a failed logic:

    Libyans live under a dictator, Libyans get killed and tortured. Libyans kill dictator.

    America gets attacked......(failing)

    I don't see how I can logically conclude a British soldier, LYNCHING an Afghan CIVILIAN.

    Gosh you should see a psychiatrist, you have fails in your brain of epidemic proportions.

  • @superhamzah85 The Arab animals who killed Gaddafi were Anti Gaddafi NTC militia / rebel Army forces, they were armed combatants, just like the British army.

  • @talara18

    ...........

    Good, you're learning to look things up.

    Now, can you figure out WHY someone would want to join the Rebels? Perhaps...they have a reason?

    Nobody is born hating Muammar Gaddhafi or anyone.

    Let's see you think of any number of reasons why a person would join a militia.

    OBVIOUSLY, because you have no personal link to any of it, a fair trial, and conviction is a no brainer.

    But likely every Libyan has either known, or heard of someone who was tortured or killed by him.

  • How many people do you know that were tortured or killed by Tony Blair or David Cameron.

    Look how much hate they get for not killing anyone at all in the country. Now imagine the hate if they killed tens of thousands...is that it? You don't have an imagination?

  • @superhamzah85 this is not your country, You are not English mate. when I took my granddad back to the east end, he was like... where are all the English people, I 

  • @talara18

    Ok, all people of English descent go back to England.

    I would LOVE to see that happen, in fact I will voluntarily, cross the channel, get my sushi, some croissants, a cuppa and a few pints of Guinness, and watch England from Calais, trying to take in about 250 million people. IF YOU can make that happen, I'll have IMMENSE fun watching, honestly.

  • No this doesn't mean I justify the lynch, I don't judge it in anyway, because I don't know what it's like to live under a dictator, without any right to vote, or any right to a fair trial. That I can be killed with impunity by the state.

    I havn't live for forty years under those conditions, and I do not know, how I will react as such. I probably wouldn't be part of the lynching, I can't imagine that, but then I can't imagine my relatives being tortured either.

  • @superhamzah85 No why don't you F off back to Arabia or Pakistan or whatever 3rd world shitip you came from, Maybe you should tell the Arabs in Egypt to go back to Arabia? Or maybe the Turks should go back to central Asia?Egypt is an Arab Country, Turkey is now the land of the Turks fair and square, England has been here for 1100 years long before you brought your middle eastern arse over here.

  • @talara18

    I was born and raised in the same post code.

    1100 years is not enough, that's just 11 hundred year old people in succession.

    Now, easyjet has a flight to Dusseldorf, you can get a train to Angeln from there, get packing, German boy.

  • @superhamzah85 I see so you're Bangladeshi, yes you people have destroyed the East End, you're not English mate, If I was born in Japan would they see me as Japanese?My grandfather was born in the East End, I took him back there last year and he said it looked like a foreign country, made him so sad. So by your logic Turks should go back to Central Asia, Arabs in North Africa should go back to Saudi Arabia, Serbs should leave the Balkans and go back to the Russia.

  • @talara18

    No, by YOUR logic you should go back to Angeln.

    My logic is, if you are born in a place, that's where you're from. Wherever you go, is FROM there.

    If wherever I am from, is somewhere in my ancestry, who the fuck are you to say one, two, or 5 or 11, generations is the cut off point.

    Thankfully, you are no one.

    PS: Not Bangladeshi, not even English. You fill the gaps in your head with lies, and bullshit, and it's no different here.

  • If YOU were born in Japan, you would be English Japanese, if there were enough english people born there, then you become you become one of your own ethnic group in Japan. There's really nothing complicated here.

  • @superhamzah85 No I would still be regarded as a foreigner in Japan if I was born there. my grandmother was born in Kenya, is she Kenyan? No she is an English lady who happened to be born in Kenya. Hamzah is a Mulsim name, ok so I imagine you are either a Pakistani or from the middle east, please go back there. My girlfriend is a Greek Cypriot, she was BORN IN ENGLAND and she says she is 100 % Greek NOT ENGLISH, neither are you Arab/Pakistani.

  • You won't win, I'm an atheist, we're smarter than everyone else.

  • @superhamzah85 there is no such thing as English Japanese, they don't even regard koreans born there as Japanese, they call them zainichi, I'm not that stupid Arab, PS perhaps to a middle eastener like you all Europeans lok the same, but it's quite easy for me to tell the diffrence with German and English people, besides most English people have some pre Anglo saxon blood in them from Celtic times as do I. You are not English, you are of middle eastern appearance. I look English not German

  • @talara18

    You are boriing me now.

    I've pwned you enough, you need new material.

  • PS Japan is composed of 98.5% ethnic Japanese * CIA factbook source

  • @talara18

    My factbook: the Gaijin, the Emishi, the Nivkh, Yamato, Orok, Dekasegi, Ainu, Ryukyuan...plus the foreign ethnicities, Peruvians, Indians, English, Scottish, Brazilians.

    The reason you think there's one, is because you're a racist.

    "They all look the same."

  • @superhamzah85 just look up Japan demographics in wikipedia. like I said, would I would be regarded as Japanese if I was born there?...No. You're not English mate you're a Bangladeshi living in England. You people destroyed the native cockney culture that existed in the east end for centuries. My mother is from Devon and can trace my roots to pre Anglo saxon times now get out of my country.

  • Ok I will play along, I am a foreigner, I came here..last Tuesday, and I own your country now.

    ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US

    WE WILL OWN LONDON SOON

    WE WILL OWN YOU

    HAHAHA

    Your have been pwned.

    What you gonna do?

  • Those people won't get out of the way, they need to be run over!

  • Comment removed

  • no immigrants :-)

  • @ukipwarrior many of them were Eastern European Jews. the East End was the heart of the Jewish community.

  • @ukipwarrior

    How would you know? There's been Indians in London for almost 3 centuries, the first Indian restaurant was opened over a 100 YEARS BEFORE THIS VIDEO!

    No immigrants, lol....they built London, thats WHY it's a massive city, towns that don't become cities or major cities, remain towns and villages, injection of energy from outside is what creates a major city. Even Tokyo, because you're a simpleton, don't know that so many people are of Korean, Chinese, Thai, etc. backgrounds.

  • @superhamzah85 you're not even English mate, what would you know.

  • Oh and about 10,000 British people too, in just ONE city abroad.

    Without immigration and emigration, Britain would have a larger population. You would never think so, but the amount of Brits living abroad is hundreds of times more than foreign people living here.

  • @superhamzah85 we don't need a larger population of foreigners, please go back to Bangladesh

  • The White Genocide will continue, we will rape your countryside and turn it into an exact replica of Delhi. We are drugging the whites with our curries, to make them blissfully unaware of their downfall. The fools!

    I

  • @superhamzah85 I'm not white, White is an American Concept, I'm English of English ethnicity, English people just happen to be white. I have No affinity with Poland or Romania, English people happen to be European, who happen to be white, I'm English simple as.

  • @talara18

    The English originate from Angeln. The word is older than England, it is where your ethnicity is from. Mines is from somewhere else too. If ethnic people should remain where they are, we would ALL be Kenyan you dumb shit.

  • Comment removed

  • @ChefeCenturia what a dick at least half of the people in that vid would have been Jewish.

  • @blackandproud75 no the east end was the heart of the Jewish community in the 1920s,there were at least 250,000 Jews in England, most in the east end. as for the idea that homogeneous nations are less successful that 'multicultural nations, not necessarily , look at Japan and China. have a look at the shop signs in the 1903 vid

  • @talara18

    LOL

    I love it when people think Japan is homogenous, it is more European in some ways than countries in Europe. It is definitly more Western than Bulgaria or something.

  • @superhamzah85 Japan is homogeneous, weather they are a western country is beside the point.

  • @talara18

    I've spent a year in Japan. I think I know a bit more about it than you, boy.

  • Comment removed

  • @blackandproud75 many of the were jewish and irish in the east end at the time

  • What a lovely sight. I couldn't be more serious.

  • If there were no coloured people then who washed toilet for them?

  • @heerwa2 hahaha

  • Wow i see all White people. They need to bring more "colored" people to make it MULTI CULTURAL. Otherwise they are all Racist! I want to see Africans, Pakis ... the whole lot there. Inshallah! One day!

    I am sure the British people will support it through their Tolerance.

  • only white people?

    THATS RACIST THE EVIL BNP WAS PROBALY IN CHARGE BACK THEN

  • I think you are the only one that feels this way, all the white people wish it was like this again, and no the crime rate was definitely lower, all of the stabbings and shootings (vast majority) are done by blacks

  • then all the PAKIS+SCUMBAGS came and turned it into a right SHITHOLE!

  • this in 2 strip technocolor?

  • Before immigration

  • kk i know im tall! no need to stair

  • haha, all the men turning around are just really cute 'cos the looks on their faces are saying 'what in jesus name is that? better get out of the way....' lol!

  • Wow, look at those fox furs... the policeman...rabbits c:

  • I'm guessing this was Easter, with the rabbits

  • The world was a better place when everyone wore hats.

  • this place today is all somalians 

  • Wonderfull not a mosque or muslim in sight, sheer bliss..

  • think. when this was filmed your grandad could have been fucking your gran.

  • hardly any women about. its a 'mast fest'

  • "ere. get cher arrnd coats down on petti coat layne"

  • I love their intrigued glances its like waving at them through the lens of time! this peice of footage has more humanity than your average hollywood blockbuster, invaluable indeed.

  • cute bunnys

  • Good gracious, although the Lane and it's market are still there today, things have changed so much, not with the location, but the people! You see more women and ethnic minority folk nowadays.

  • people in those times were so amazed at the camera. i bet now when you go outside and record those kind of thing, people would look at you like a retard.

  • "Attention, the Google-Earth car is coming!"

  • "Cor bloody hell look 'arry a car!" " I've read about 'em nithe paper"

  • They all wore hats... They are all like "ahh wtf is this camera doing?"

  • Comment removed

  • interesting that the street scene resembles a modern one in many '3rd world' countries today that have patriachal societies.

    no women.

  • All wore hats.

  • OHMG! Imagine, those people all had lives, and problems, and joys. It's so cool.

  • @mickeymoo26 And sad that all of them will probably be dead.

  • @edj66 yer..

  • why are these so short? Would love to see more.

  • So they had colour film in the 1920's?

  • @kevjkx

    Yes.

  • Great quality---love the music, too.

  • I want a rabbit!

  • This should be re-titled "the tallest camera man in the world walks down Petticoat Lane" :0)

  • notice hats are getting less popular than the 1903 petticoat movie :D

  • All white faces and no fat people.

  • rutlandplace: LMFAO, if you go to London now hahahaha

  • @rutlandplace Does the colour of a face matter?! Why does nostalgia in this country have to contain undertones of casual racism.

  • @rutlandplace WWHITE FACES AND NO FAT PEOPLE, WHAT A BORING CITY

  • @simplesimplicius  Nothing boring about these old city scenes, now multiculturalism, that's boring and losing your historical roots to boot

  • @fogbeet I think what he ment was that the world is much better for everyone with every kind of people. Its very sad that a lot of people nowadays is overweight, i think its thanks to mac donalds and computers..

  • Comment removed

  • @simplesimplicius Its very meen of the person the write sush a comment that he did. The world need all kinds of people, those who think its better with strict people like in the 20's are very uneducated.

  • @rutlandplace good times ! not like the 3rd world shit tip that london is today

  • See the toy rabbits on the right hand side, probably worth a few hundred pounds now?

  • It appears that this clip was filmed in Middlesex St. Heading towards Bishopsgate. I think the Port of London Authority warehouse is in the distance.

  • The East End wasn't 'white' in the 1920s. In the film you're seeing Jews and Eastern Europeans, who weren't considered white until many decades later.

    In other words, what's white and what's not changes over time, according to a host of complex factors. Nostalgia for a time when everyone was one colour is a reactionary myth.

    I'd rather celebrate the amazing diversity of today's cosmopolitan culture, than worry about the loss of 'my' culture, which wasn't homogenous to begin with.

  • Tell me, if all of the worlds cultures mix and intergrate as you obviously would like, how long will it be before we have no diversity at all...just a world wide mono culture!

    That I find sad.

    Preserve differant cultures of the world - keep them seperate!

  • Cultures only diversify through integration. There's no such thing as 'separate' cultures: all cultures are fed through migration, forced, economic or voluntary. What made the East End such a fascinating place in the 1920s - the birthplace of 20th century British working class radicalism, in fact - was its polyglot character: Jewish refugees, ex-colonials, Eastern European migrants. For an in-depth history of the era, I'd recommend Peter Ackroyd's "London: The Biography".

  • "Preserve differant cultures of the world - keep them seperate!"

    Good comment aeronuk. Diversity has it's benefits ( there has to be ), but it brings a lot of tension and negativity that most people can do without.

  • aeronuk1: same here, I respect all cultures but I would like to keep them separate as well.

  • Comment removed

  • aeronuk1: good point

  • Your comments are very true. The East End of London has never been England, and it has always been very different from any other part of London. The East End accepts everyone.

  • There is a big difference with the Jewish presence in the East End, in that they by en large integrated with the native cockney culture, unlike the East End we find today witch feels more like Bangladesh. j

  • @orangepolyester LOL I seriously doubt your seing many Eastern Europeans or even many jews in 1927. There was a sizeable jewish community in London even in those days but you certainly wouldn't have found many on Petticoat Lane. If there are any ethnic minorities in this footage they'll be Irish.

  • @Edgey1988 No many of them were Eastern European jews, by 1920, there were 250,000 jews in England, most of whom lived in the east end. look at the 1903 vid of petticoat lane and you'll see many of the shop signs have Jewish names,

  • The sheer number of men! I think I count only a dozen women in that footage.

  • No more hats in london no more whites in london :(

  • was it compulsory to wear a cloth cap in those days

  • dermot51: well yeah if you wanted to be fashionable or in fashion those days.

  • Oh my East End....what has become of you today.

    By the way, I think I saw my grandad in this clip. He was the bloke wearing the hat, ha ha!

  • What is this footage from? Was there any Nude Technicolour footage in them early Days?

  • The quality of the picture is amazing.

  • Bit different these days - like a different country all together.
