In lamens; You are not supposed to have streets full of the same type of shops, maybe questions should be asked why the council are not applying those same restrictions on businesses that are non-Caucasian owned in a manner that appears they do not live by the same rules as the rest of us.

It’s the same here in Darlington, Don’t buy their kebabs, pizzas use their taxis or minimarts or vape shops or barbers. Defund em

Something else that duplicates endlessly from one source and kills the body.

With so much dirty money floating about from the people smugglers and organised crime it would be surprising if some of it did not find its way into the hands of Police , MP's and local business .

[@blackdeeplake]

Yes small towns in Ireland have them also great way to wash dirty money...

I live near dartford in kent and the area and town is much the same as here. I guess other areas are like it too somehow.

[@BruceDanton-xw6eg]

I am sure they are thank you for that too.

Sadly a lot of indigenous British people seem to go in the Star cafe Sunshine cafe and particularly on Sundays, the barber's in Hythe. Anyone who has seen the film "Gandhi" when the Indians refused to use British businesses and they went bust knows that boycotts of foreign run businesses help. I would never use such establishments and I drive from Hythe to Folkestone or Ashford to buy my petrol rather than use the "Asian" run BP station in town.

There’s about 20 Turkish barbers along one street in Glasgow. They are always empty. In Birmingham, one street had 12 individual shops. Over the years, they closed one of by one. I went back last year and saw 2 barbers and 9 various kebab, takeaways and chippies. Imagine the smell in the summer!

[@jamesellis3904]

Think of all the fat in the drains,, the rubbish... as well as the smell

[@dazdaz105]

Two on the same side of the street a shop apart where I live. Both empty when you go past them.

There's a good German/Turkish barber near me in Glasgow called "Herr Kutts" .😂

The barbers never seem to be affected by financial turmoil that every single other business, big or small, has to struggle through.
