Don't Come To Leicester

Half hour documentary made in 1992 to mark the 20th anniversary of the sudden expulsion of approximately 80 000 South Asians from Uganda, a decision made by President Idi Amin. Many of the refugees settled in Leicester, with their family and friends, even though the City Council attempted to divert them by advertising in the Ugandan press with an infamous slogan: "Don't Come To Leicester". Twenty years later, they were and remain an essential part of the fabric of Leicester's society.
The film examines some of the historical, political, economic, cultural and personal factors in this tumultuous event, with archive footage and contemporary filming and interviews. Screened on BBC regional television.

You see Leicester is now colorful courtesy of President for Life H.E, Field Marshal, Maj. Gen Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin Dada, VC, BC, DSO, MC, CiC, Father of twins, Lord of the shielding spears, Lord of all the clans in the land, Lord of all the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Seas, the cook with all the firewood, the Conqueror of the British Empire(CBE) in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular. Possessor of all the mighty power. We need him now more than then.

Have you ever spent time in the Royal, like overnight? And the constant sirens through the night. Like 4 or 5 every night and I don't even live in Leicester, I live in Leicestershire. Constant road works. You remember those potholes I mentioned earlier, yeah, well we have constant road works, yet nothing changes on the road. In fact, sometimes they get worse. So yeah, don't come here. Unless you like sports, we are okay at sports.

So if Idi Amin done the Asians of Uganda a favour who got the bad end of the deal. Most indigenous British people I speak to say they have been robbed of entrepreneurial opportunity and even a reduction of wages because of immigration going back to the end of WW2. Of course there's other reasons but the resentment and realisation is growing at a rapid rate now and Britain is becoming right wing like never before.
