These old films are a sad reminder of how England is gradually losing it's identity and the descendents of these people have had their towns and cities overrun by third world peoples .You can bet your life that India will allways be indian and China will always be chinese but somehow if your a white nation you have to tolerate the mongrelization of your people and if you speak out against it your a ''racist'' and you can even go to jail for it. God bless Democracy !!!

Went back to my home city after leaving in 1989. I was shocked at the demise of a once thriving city centre. A metropolitan area of half a million yet a dump of a shopping centre much smaller than Huddersfield's. Many of the shops that were there were little more than dressed up bazaars. I still tell people I am from Bradford, although I live a long long way from it now. A once prosperous city with a dynamic economy & a buzz now all gone. Why have the council allowed this to happen ? So sad !

@discocreator76 if it's a pakki hell then come do something about it? Wimp! Dont sit behind a screen and 'yip yap' like a man with no testicles, come make a change, Freedom of speech, use legal power to do so mate!!

Bradford (and most of south Yorkshire for that matter) is a Paki hellhole now unfortunately...

@dogshy61 I totally agree! What have we gained from mass immigration as a country? I can't think of a single thing...

@weedyak

I do wander,what the descendants of the bradfordians will think. For example your children,once the idea that they are eastern has faded and asians have become part of western identity rather than 'foreigners settled'.

they'll be British
