There used to be a sign at one of the Indian airports during the Apartheid years in South Africa

Do you mean that the airport was in India? Assuming so, what's the difference between the Apartheid years in South Africa, and elsewhere?

Im assuming this is a serious question..
Difference between SA and other countries during the apartheid years was quite a bit..
Apartheid dictated your education, your employment, your housing, your status, and all pretty poorly.

I think there is some merit in highlighting the disenfranchisement of white working class people.

Although I don't think that the article within the link really does that, neither has the discussion in the rest of the thread.

What is with you and jumping to conclusions all the time?

They are students, which means after their 3/4 years of University they return home so they have no long term existence in our society unless they apply for a Visa and look for employment in the UK.

Would you move into a shared house of different races/cultures if you were looking for housing? Or if you were renting a room, would you choose a immigrant over and white person?

It's not racist, but being with your own culture makes day to day living a lot easier for both parties.

Then you should have made that clear.

It was, but you misunderstood it. Basically, I read your original point and wondered why there was an Indian airport in South Africa. Then I realised you were saying the Apartheid years were in South Africa. Life was very different in South Africa, but I assume the years were the same.

Sorry, I read your post as meaning I could leave London entirely if I wanted. But no, I don't want to commute every day and I like living here - and I liked living in the areas that you love to post about being terrible and pretty much Hell on Earth. Given that I (and plenty of others) choose to live here... doesn't that make you think that maybe, just maybe, they are really not as bad as you make out?

Yet again, because you CHOSE it, whilst also choosing to remain ignorant about the close knit communities that preceded you no doubt making you very very pleased with your trendy white liberal self, and the majority do leave , you only have to look at the amount on here that have done " house prices" is usually the (weak) excuse.

Entirely agree.

No you didnt, you mentioned they were students , I naturally assumed from here.

I havent been silent , I've answered your question, do I come onto this site pushing a certain agenda ? Absolutely , the white working classes in our inner cities have f***ed over by people like you for far too long, all I try to do is provide some balance, maybe one day i'll educate someone like you who hasnt got a clue , and sits there pontificating from east preston and brighton with all their various sociual cohesion problems.

What would you do? What is your solution to the problem you present? We are where we are, what is your political or idealogical manifesto for a better future for everyone?

It's all very well throwing accusations of champagne socialists, and soft liberals at all and sundry, the classic 'f***ed over by people like you for far to long' statements, but ultimately do you ever suggest how our inner cities could improve?

Or is that the elephant in the room behind all of your postings?

You are directly contradicting yourself so much that I really don't know how to respond because I don't know which of the two opposite statements I'm supposed to respond to.

"The majority do leave". Your last post chastised me for not realising how lucky I am that I can leave, and that others have no choice but to stay.

"The close knit communities that preceded me". Not sure where to go with this one. Why do you assume I haven't joined a community that still is close-knit? Why do you assume that the fact I'm white & liberal ("trendy"? You've obviously never met me...) means I don't want to fit in, and is it the white liberals or the ethnic minorities that you are blaming for the community no longer being (in your assumption) close-knit?

You can't defend any adverts that advertise for one race/ colour or religious belief only.

 

[Husty]

The real insult for Bushy here is not that the adverts are in some way discriminatory but that the people who wrote them seem to want to live with some nappy throwing Bangladeshis.

The thread title would make a great title for a book don't you think?
