      incorrect, poorest estate in London is either Thamesmead in Bexley or Andover Estate in Islington

      Sorry but I have to disagree with you there, Wandsworth may be a good borough to live in if you’re one of the affluent residents living in private accommodation who enjoys the lowest council tax in London, but many of its housing estates across the borough, particularly in Battersea, are still some of the most neglected and poorly maintained out of almost any other area in London. A very typical Tory council, has always marginalised it’s working class residents

    The cockney accent was still the main accent in SW London at that time. I wonder how it changed so quickly?

      Jake Haynes do you mean that the housing prices are too much for the majority of normal people?
      It's unbelievable that streets that were lucky not to have been demolished during the wide scale slum clearance projects back between the 1950's to the 1970's, are now supposedly worth (or cost) more than many people will earn in a lifetime.
      There are whole streets in parts of northern England with houses that sell for not much more than the average yearly wage, yet very similar terraced houses 250 miles to the south cost 20-30++ more.

      Supply and demand, they cost more in London because everyone wants to live there, in comparison to towns up north

      NPK Dotty it was but it wasn't as violent as today trust me blacks and white suffered together and they press didn't shove fake news down our throats
      So race wasn't the big issue
      Look at the video its all blacks and whites together how often do you see that now
      The governments have made us go against each other

      Does it matter if you can't understand? everything isn't designed with you in mind. Jamaican patois has influenced how people speak English in the UK and will never return to how it used to be...when you understood them.
      If Britain hadn't colonised and enslaved Africans in Jamaica perhaps you would be able to understand them but they did so...
