The Dark Side of Living in London

[@haatpraat2993]

Spent 4 years in London as a student. Absolutely loved the city. I went back for 6 months 2 years ago, again loved it. For me the gastronomy is even better than Paris. I'm about as black as you can get I never once experienced racism in London. Racism does not come to my mind when thinking about that wonderful city.

I grew up in London in the 60's and 70's fantastic. We were left alone. Plenty of jobs. No pathetic rules and algorithms, and mad restrictions.( Not to mention todays compliance by the stupid.) Lots of promiscuity, se shops, slim women, need i say more???

I have been living in London for the last 21 years . On a daily basis, I see how well Londoners are living in racial harmony. I see kids of all races mixing together as people not as members of different ethnic groups . I see the mayor of London and the number of senior ministers in the government from ethnic minorities as examples of the opportunities, irrespective of race, available to people in London.

[@Marvin-dg8vj]

On the surface tolerance works well enough for people to live their lives and earn a living. Underneath that most ethnic and religious groups stick to their own.There is no wider sense of community and the population is very transient.It is good for the young and those interested in cultural stuff but most want stability and community as they grow older.It isnt a friendly place.

[@FromClaphamJunction]

@@Marvin-dg8vj Thanks Marvin for your observation. I have lived in three different areas in London and I agree with you that a wider sense of community is not that strong in some areas but it varies from being virtually non-existent in some areas to street parties and neighbours pulling together in other areas. Also, I don't find London that unfriendly. I work on the basis that "the manner of my approach to people determines how I am received". I often find t that an open and friendly approach in London leads to warmth, friendliness, kindness, and a bit of banter in return. @FCJMark

I beg to differ with your statement on many accounts. The McPherson report stated Britain is institutionally racist and no report has debunked this report, or suggested things have changed. Last year there were BLM marches where ethnic people showed solidarity in the racism experienced in the US as racism exists in Britain too. Whilst you gave a person view there is no evidence to support your notion. The British governments own report states that racism in Britain has increased, especially after Brexit. Sorry but the evidence does not support you and neither do I.

When there is a push to get people of color into certain positions its not done to hurt white people its done as an attempt to fix a bias. Persecution is when you're meet with ill-treatment or hostility...jobs trying to promote fairness is not an example of that.

I don’t really understand what you mean by ‘core Londoners’. I’ve lived here all my life, and it’s a melting pot of cultures, creeds and races. And it’s a patchwork of places. It’s so big it’s difficult to think of it as one place. The suburbs are generally pretty friendly. Few people, except the very rich, live in the very centre - it has a huge transient population of tourists, so like most capital cities, can be quite anonymous, but beyond the centre are communities much like any other. Of course, the sad thing is that throughout the world there’s room for more mutual understanding…but I don’t think London is particularly racist. Oh, and the rain, yes, England generally is a rainy place - ‘tho ‘don’t think London has a higher rainfall than anywhere else in the British Isles; the North has the highest recorded rainfall, not the South. I could go on… This is a bit of an strange video. I didn’t get to the end of it; too biased and negative. Odd. I wonder what motivated this guy to make it? Just seems like a moan- fest. Rather sad.

I grew up in London, it is VERY expensive. Even though the wages are higher it doesn’t keep up with the cost of living here for the majority of people.

[@kasskath3578]

Are the London wages higher? I wish.

[@lemonacidrounds7293]

The wages are higher if you go through university and then on a course to extend your knowledge in certain area. Then your wage will rise and rise. Life in London is expensive bit it was reduced to be equal to the wages which was blown out to bits recently cause of the coronavirus pandemic and all the lockdowns that forcibly closed shops, sent many foreigners home for a long period of time and ruined the business circulation London had before that! So its entirely normal if one frozen salmon fillet piece to be £4 if your wage is £2,500 a month. Also an accommodation of £600 pcm is fine if your wage is £3,000 a month. Its a bit tough for the self employees as today they're working for good wages while tomorrow they might get suspended and in search for another job while the employees are on a good position cause they're anchored for a certain company and even if they're not called for work they still gonna get paid. Pluses for self employees are they can leave a workplace immediately if the workplace doesn't give them what they want as there's no contract! Lets go back to the topic. I've lived in southern Spain as well. My accommodation was 130 euro per month (no gas, electricity or other taxes included) but my wage was 700 euro per month. You see? Its called balance and whoever wants to jump higher needs to work harder. Which means study and go through courses, get your certificates then negotiate about your wages and show them your unique skills that you've learned through the courses. If the wage is still insufficient to you, then start your new company! Life will always be expensive everywhere if you're a regular worker! I lived 9 years under a communist regime and you're not allowed to grow and learn. They only needed cheap regular workers who only work, sleep, work, sleep, work and that's it for life! Now people have a chance to grow!

That's £2,000pcm (triple that) and its normal. London is a city of business and opportunities and its separated on classes. Almost everyone came to live here to make money. That's what I mentioned. If anyone wants to rise their wage they need to push their limits by starting to study and learn, get educated, certified and start their own business. Those who don't wanna do it are still living in London cause they know so well that they'll be way better in London than anywhere else. Its that simple. The lower tier jobs with the lowest payment you could still save money. In my country your wage barely cover electricity and water bills, then your parents are helping. I know a family that the husband's monthly payment disappears immediately for bills and the wife's monthly payment goes for their kid while studying, monthly payments for the new air-conditioner, fuel for the car... basic stuff like that. If one of them stops working (gets suspended) as it happens often, the company don't care how you will handle that and there is almost no job anywhere in the town I was born. While in London I've already been like that. One year - 9 months working, 3 months resting. Another year - 6 months working, 6 months resting going back home, leaving money to my family so they can live better and I still have money for me to live better. During the covid pandemic I had 3 working months for the whole 2020 and the British government helped with grants. In my country most people were suspended for the whole year without getting any money cause even if the European Union gave something it was taken by the corrupted government.

My road in South London is not a ‘non place, a soulless concrete mess.’ It’s a thriving - multi cultural - community. An ordinary, friendly place. People chat on the street and over the garden wall, and help each other out. Last year one neighbour went round leaving plums from the plum tree in his little garden on people’s doorsteps. A lovely gesture that made me smile. My neighbour up the road is having to work from home, and early in the pandemic offered to run errands for anyone who needed it. Neighbours buoy each other up as people deal with Covid. It’s felt like a warm place to be in a difficult time.

I lived in London for about 8 months back in the mid 1980's - when I was seconded to work there from my own country, by my employer. I was earning roughly the same amount of money in London, as I would have back home - but did find the cost of living very high when it came to rent, food, utilities etc - so was not saving as much money as I would have back home. At first I lived with relatives in Ealing, then moved for a very short time to Earl's Court, then to Waltham Forest on the other end of the city. I generally enjoyed my time living & working there - & was there in both summer & winter. In winter, I found the very short daylight hours took a little getting used to (it would be dark by around 4pm). I travelled to work at an international bank in the city centre each day by either British Rail or the underground, & must admit, I did find the city rather dirty, compared with my own county - but I never actually saw any live rats in the city. The underneath of my fingernails would be very dirty by the end of the day, & whenever I blew my nose, my handkerchief would be full of black stuff - signifying that the air I was breathing in, was obviously not too clean. This was something that I had never experienced when I had previously lived in Spain for some months - or when I subsequently lived in west Germany for several months. It seemed like London was dirtier or more polluted than other European cities. I never personally experienced any incidents of crime while I was in London - though I must admit that I was always very careful. In the last 40 years or so - I thought things may have changed & improved - but it seems some things have remained the same.

Compared to some of the other issues that are in other cities around the world, these are nothing, however, I feel the topic around racism in London is now more open to discussion and can be resolved with more awareness brought to it, unlike other countries & cities where it feels almost taboo to talk about it. Basically, more work needs to be done, but compared to other cities, London is certainly more progressive. Currently, I believe moped theft (plus snatch and run) mixed with organised crime and knife crime with the youths living mostly in Greater London (not to be confused with the central area known as the City of London) is more of an issue than the combined list you have here.
