@@nativetexanful Why do these communities believe they have a right to live in London over say, ambitious young people from the north? You can't have infinite housing in London, there is a limited supply. And as it's London you have high demand. If you have a limited supply of something, and high demand, then the equilibrium price increases, so that you have an equilibrium between supply and demand. When people complain about low income housing, essentially they're saying they have more of a right to live in London,than ambitious people from Northern cities. No. You don't get to live somewhere that everyone wants to live in just because you've lived there before. If there is more demand than supply of housing, then you need some way of allocating the housing, and that is through an increase in price, and thus less demand. It's basic economics. Everyone who wants to live in London can't live in London, as there is limited housing stock. Why should you have a right to live there over the rest of the country? Just because you've lived there before?

As a kid myself and my father sold carpets in Brixton on Saturdays. Back then, we did a brisk trade. The majority of our customers were local, working class and mostly black/Caribbean people. Middle class people never bought our carpets. I was 10-12 years old and I would help to bring carpets to a customer's home, especially if they were a woman or an older person. They always gave me a quid for delivering the carpet. I loved those days. I remember those days and Brixton fondly. There was this Jamaican guy who in the summer months was selling snow cones. He did a brisk trade too. Then there was the bloke who sold sugar cane! Actual pieces of sugar cane. That was the old Brixton that I have fond memories of. As for "don't go to Brixton". That certainly was not mine or my father's attitude. Brixton has had its problems, like the video says. There was a great shock to the people of Brixton when that mad man David Hope, the racist who bombed and tried to terrorize Brixton. Brixtonians charactaristaclly got up and brushed themselves down. I remember Brixton fondly. ❤🇮🇪❤🇮🇪. Love from Ireland.

Same thing has happened in Leith/Edinburgh. Leith used to be a vibrant port and during the 70s and 80s the port declined when the World famous Henry Robb shipbuilders closed along with other industries. Now on the site of Henry Robb is the Ocean Terminal shopping centre which caters for the high end market despite Leith always being a working class area. The docks are gradually being closed down and replaced with thousands of expensive flats.House prices and rents have rocketed in Leith and now the area is full of some of the best restaurants in the UK. The area has seen massive improvements but not for the locals who still have to live in some of the small pockets of deprivation surrounded by some of the most expensive property in Scotland.

Just check the DNA, and that tells you all you need to know. All the peoples you mentioned, except the Romans were northern European tribes: no one knows much about the Picts; the Celts were another small Northern European war-like tribe; Romans, a Southern European conquering army, who left virtually no genetic footprint after they left; Saxons, according to Francis Pryor, didn't get far past past East Anglia, though some dispute this. What is not in dispute is that they were a war-like Northern European tribe, who took over governing areas of Britain. Then there were the Normans, who murdered the Saxon hierarchy, devastated the English, but left no genetic link with 99.9% of people here; their footprint is purely aristocratic. But again a Northern European war-like tribe. Diversity did not become a buzz word or was even put forward as a historical point of reference until very recently, when politicians from America said, in the face of massive Asian and Latino immigration, as a political expedient, and in the face of logic, that it was always diversity that had made them strong. Africans and Asians do not have roots here, are not as British as the natives, are not of Northern Europe. They can never assimilate. Please know YOUR history.

Gentrification is a form of racism and segregation, segregating areas for certain people regarding race snd class its simple, no real londoner in london most Londoners moved out to Essex and Kent. London is becoming boring and bland the people are not the same. no community or care.
