I live in the salubrious environs of Smichov ...not in a tourist area, and an area with a high Sinti Roma population....

i thought you worked in a bar ?Correct...Tourists tend to visit the center, and not the industrial, working class areas of Prague...of which most of the city is...
bath rd, and if you think that its " deprived" you reall have lived a sheltered life.If somebody announces on a forum that a school teaches in 12 languages, then I want to know the voracity of the statement...as far as im concerned, it throws the rest of his argument right out the window...and most of the kids in that picture, will speak English.
Bushy, I cant remember the name at the moment, but it was the road that had the Hounslow West Tube on it...lived further on up that road....opposite some skanky park....and it was hardly plush...

very nice dave , seems a million light years away from this topic , not knocking you.I work for a global American corporation... at the weekends, my GF and myself run a music club in Smichov (its an area of Prague) for Ukrainians..... I dont actually work in the bar... we have barmen and waitresses for that..
errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrri will ask you again , which immigrants to rotherhithe are you talking about ?
very nice dave , seems a million light years away from this topic , not knocking you.
not for me , you must be making a living out of it though , you got women "working" the club as well .Its ok...personally, im more in favour of a small bar that sells grass as well... just have to pay protection to the police, and they are cheaper than the various mafias anyway... place we have at the mmoment is more of a club than a bar..anyway..going home time for me...laterz...
The ones from the east. As you well know.i will ask you again , which immigrants to rotherhithe are you talking about ?
you see now here's where you prove my point. You know nothing about me so you assume i'm a middle class social worker. All that does is betray your prejudices. I suspect this reveals your neuroses and fears of middle class people rather than any insight into me."I live in the melting pot that is tottenham " oh how wonderful and right on , bet you love telling your friends back home what an"edgy and vibrant" area you live in, do f*** off with your social worker claptrap about how " for all the problems that we face here, one of the strengths of this multicultural working class community is the way we embrace difference just like Lord B says and reject creaking bigots that wish to destroy something new. "
Tottenham is a shithole full of the flotsam and jetsam of the world thats landed on our f***ing doorstep, nothing more nothing less , you're just too posh to see it as it really is, and view it through your tinted oh how exciting to be in the big city , lenses, i bet you have little or no interaction whatsoever with white working class londoners over 35 , ones that haven't been force fed a constant diet of how wonderful multi-culturalism is and how lucky we are to have it , in fact i know you havent or you'd realise how mightily pissed off and disenfranchised they feel.
you made a good go of it thoughyou see now here's where you prove my point. You know nothing about me so you assume i'm a middle class social worker. All that does is betray your prejudices. I suspect this reveals your neuroses and fears of middle class people rather than any insight into me.
You go on about the white working classes being so put upon and say you have no problem with black people. Then you call Tottenham, which is filled with both black and white working class people, a shit hole. I accept as you've clearly not spent any real time here so you're working off the crap you hear from your EDL mates, but Tottenham really isn't a shit hole. The reason you think it this is because you once again make assumptions.
You say I have no experience of mixing with white working class people over 35. I'm a trade union officer, who the hell do you think makes up the bulk of the members and reps I work with. again your blinkered assumptions come out. If I was as you describe I really don't think I would be as good an officer as the members I represent clearly think i am. You see unlike you, I dont need to come on an internet sight to get validation of my prejudices. Which is why you have 9,000 more posts in a years extra membership. A bit sad isn't it
So what impression are we to get of you based upon your own words. You hate the middle classes, you hate the working classes, you spend a lot of time on a web site abusing people who really have done nothing express a positive view of others. I wonder if there's anyone you like outside of your small clique of miserable old prejudiced gits. Good luck with that.
Have fun berating me, I appreciate how important it is to you to reach the 10,000 post mark. Personally I'm too busy living my life to worry about engaging with your miserable view of life.
Therein lies the problem, the attitude that people who have lived in a place for generations if not centuries should adapt to immigrants , why on earth should they ?
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 he said, they're so f***ing posh and the day to day trauma of inner city life doesn't affect them in one bit.
You should feel lucky that you live in a non threatening place, where your demographics haven't changed (bar the gay influx) where your kids are relatively safe enough to play out in the street. Just don't tell us living in the multicultural nightmare that it's all sweetness and light. Because it isn't.
It amazes me how many of them feel that their comments are legitimate never having had to live there , or even if they have, its not the area they grew up and count as home , they can can always f*** off back "home" to sussex when tabitha starts school and they realise that a class where 45 % of the class speak english as a second language isnt exactly conducive to the kids education.
