Street Food - London's Brick Lane - 28 June Part 1

Brick Lane, in the East End of the English capital, is a microcosm of the country's shifting ethnic patterns. Once the home of traditional fare, it is now the heartland of the city's Bangladeshi community. What are the future repercussions?

@skint0n0minted The point about most people don't speak english is bollocks. Alot of cities are packed with a huge variety of nationalities, I live in melbourne, AUS at the mo and sometimes you look around and you could be in Hong Kong and a white face is a minority, but so the fuck what?

If people don't do me harm I couldn't care less where they're from, and others should think the same. the things london (an the whole of the UK) have benefitted from imagration out ways what it hasn't,anyday!

Fuck off you nazi.

[afooltherewas]

@dizafatslag right, like english "immigration" to india, hong kong, ireland... oh wait, that's colonialism.

[dizafatslag]

@JackWMS14

Yes. You can see it everywhere. Mainly against Islamic culture.

[JackWMS14]

@dizafatslag Nah, fair play, but ALOT of people are. Yes though, I do. Our attitudes to immigrants is a lot of the problem as well, how do you expect someone to integrate and consider themselves proud to be British if they get nothing but shit from racists. I think it depends on individuals.

And I do appreciate the need for a structure immigration system, I'm not one of these dumb lefties that thinks everyone should be let in. But is there any evidence that say varying cultures can't get along?

@JackWMS14

Oh, and if you're calling me 'narrow minded', I never said anything to do with anybody's skin colour. Do you actually think all cultures can happily get along?

[dizafatslag]

@JackWMS14

Yes I know all that but immigration is WAY out of control. Cosmopolitanism is cool as long as it doesn't take the piss, like what we're seeing today.

[JackWMS14]

@dizafatslag Sorry mate but in this day and age immigration is the countries identity and culture.

Think of how boring things would be without the mix of cultures, the lack a differing life stories, the music, the film, the food, the sports! London and the UK would not be what it was today if it weren't for decades and decades of immigration. And I mean that in a good way.

It's plain narrow mindedness to put a countries change down to a visible change such as skin colour, too many do so.

@JackWMS14

You obviously don't care that immigration will ruin countries' identity and culture.
