Why does the narrator keep saying “Dock Laaaynds”?

If this was filmed in the late 1980s then much of what was left of the old Jewish Eastend was pretty much coming to an end. Bloom's lasted until 1996. Like all generations, outward migration meant that most of the population had moved away by the time this film was made. Cycle of life....
Lovely film, I worked at Queen Mary for 17 years and this brought back many memories of its better fays

My dad was a bell hanger for the Whitechapel Bell Foundry, and during school holidays I also worked there, it was a great place the East end and I seem to remember opposite the foundry on the other side of Whitechapel Road was a street that i think mayhave been called Blacklion yard I had to go in the shops as i was the errand boy, often called to get lunches etc. I remember the jewish shops etc and the notion that all Jews are rich was a fallacy, these were EastEnd working class Jews. I lived in South Tottenham very closed to Stamford Hill and iconic Jewish area but rather more well heeled and very orthodox, you could buy salt beef sandwiches which were ro die for and of cause the local football team Tottenham were nicknamed the Yiddos, arch enemy of Arsenal known as the gooners.

Worst ever decision made to give up the docks! It totally destroyed our community and it also gave up our little bit of independence regarding trade. Historical buildings that survived the war were pulled down and soulless concrete jungle put up but the actual people who originated from the area was forced out! My family was from that area and can be traced back nearly 300 years so far. We were forced out 20 years ago by an illegal land grab by the council. Tower Hamlets Council is the most corrupt council you will ever know and reminds me of the King in Mile End shown is this video backing out of the deal! Bless my Nan she was one of the last to go surrounded by bulldozers taking on the builders with her Yorkshire terrier. Everyday they took her garden a foot at a time and the whole family would turn up to support with the East London Advertiser in tow. I wish I wasn't to young to realise what was at stake.

It's wild how these proxys since +/-1880s 1920s 1960s 2020s work as global socialist orders rage all the nation's push complexity down upon the people turning neighbors against each other. I was blessed to know 1st hand direct testimony of the first freed slaves black and white Irish who claimed land on a homestead act 350 hectors beside each other in usa and they grew up together through all these until passing in late 1970s. Share cropping together and didn't socislize until they was about 50 years old. I was a kid and sat under them as they canned tomatoes, sewed quilts and talked about how our own allys like uk ,france, German, Spain usa gov all proxy one another turning neighbors against each other agitating the youth. Pushing complexity down to break up like mined vote blocks forming through faith or just kids just getting to close to one another fearful of a wise generation to thr tricks of the politacal trade. Hearing both sides telling me the same account of history then going to school under a revision view from a more fringe extreme was very enlightening on how the majority is ignored but micro scope is put on a very few political front. .. 2020 usa a 1st class window seat Begin the day holding hands Marching end it defending your home or business from getting burned down . The news camera takes that picture ,runs that headline . Same moement proxy fighting each other. The politicians gets justifying bill to impose physical prescription grabs more power the divide deepens. Same story over and over across all borders

The police play very active part in empowering racists and some cases they walk n hand hand with racists. I remember gangs plane cloth police beating up Bangladesh youths in Cable street. Racists had a free hand, you could say a licence to attack with weapons, petrol bomb s homes, attack us at schools, work places, anywhere and anytime. The term Paki bashing still echoes on the east end. The police are still at it, and so are neo cons in Labour party.

Most people don't understand why the Jewish people receive so much negative press. I believe they have done a wrong to a people by taking over their country and expelling the people that was in 1948. In 2023 they are at it again. Whatever good feeling their was for the Jews after WW2 it's gone now. Truth has to triumph. At the moment the planet in bathing in liars.

There will always be new people in any area, but l feel l understand what our friend is trying to say. My Grandfather's people came from Devon to help build ships that required rivets, a skill that wasn't available in the area. They fell in love with the island and stayed. My Grandmother's Father was from Norway. He stayed for a similar reason. My Grandfather did not see himself as anything other than an islander, but his lineage did not really go back far at all. My Grandmother was exactly of the same mindset, but again she was only, at best, 2nd generation.
