Where's part three?
london is now overtaken by foreigners. i feel sad. maybe we should all go over to india or pakistan and take over there capital.
What are you talking about...London has been one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world, for centuries. Populated by people from all corners of the Earth. If you think London was ever a bastion of some imaginary, mythical England populated by white English, you are dreaming. Even the English aren't 'English' you small minded fool. Overtaken by foreigners my ass. You sound like some throwback from the national front. London wouldn't be the city it is without the globally mixed population that has resided in the city since the Romans. Pish...
@Uncle Sam What on Earth does that mean exactly? Who exactly are the English native populous...please explain.
Not forgetting that Kenneth Williams family originally came from Wales of course. Proper bleedin English...eh?
@@AnthonyMonaghan It's barely worth pointing out that there's a difference between a majority English city capable of assimilating people from all over the world and uniting them under a common identity and a city of unasimmilated ethnic ghettoes where the prevailing identity is that of the inhabitants 'home' nation, but I've done it anyway.
Yes, absolutely. It's revealing of the British working class's psyche's deference to those whom they'd been raised to believe were their superiors in intellect as well as in social class, (interpreted as meaning available capital, not wisdom), that after winning a second world war, protecting what prior to the First one had been thought already secured by the religious and territorial victories over the centuries against Spain and France, they continued to vote for governments which had immigration policies designed to limit British people's control over their own islands; civilians, gifting politically what the three services had regularly secured militarially.
It should require a joint collaboration of the native classes, never seen in Britain at the ballot box since that last world war, to retrieve it now. Possible, certainly, as the slow rise of the votes for smaller parties show; but since then, materialism, atheism, pornography, self-indulgences in every way antipathetic to the body and soul of men and nation, have so metastised themselves in the nation's body, (deliberately encouraged by a political class only interested in maintaining the status quo of subserviant tax payers, no matter from where they or their culture originate), as to make the tumours which have spread each year the more problmatical to remove.
And all it takes is one encouraging force to unite the hands which mark the 'X' 's on the ballot papers.They exist; they've had victories which were said to be impossible, (which of course are spoken by detractors who'd whisper them to a gasping man, to disable his sinews' remaining strength, so that he couldn't reach that quenching glass of water); but the working man has yet to value, has yet to place his confidence in, anything intellectually, anything more morally superior to sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll, gardon patios and tatoos, to relieve both himself and his nation from the bondage in which his vision keeps him bound. Tragic, as when the Briton lived, as people around the world once did, for God, King, and their families, they showed how they can, if they exert themselves, conquer the world.
Thanks.
