Was Enoch Powell right?

sadly sasguru lives in one, so it's hard to see one when you're looking out of one.

HTH

Sadly this is true. Nowadays I only seem to associate with other inhabitants of my prosperous middle class ghetto. Must do something about that.

Not in the way they exist in the North. There is always some interaction between communities in London, because of economic and space pressure.
Whereas it seemed to me up north that the communities were completely self-contained.

The North is a ghetto itself is it not?

Yes we have an area with the most millionaires per square mile of anywhere else in the country. You are welcome to your overcrowded slums

Think of the richest square mile in Britain and your thoughts turn to The City of London or Chelsea. In fact, a small village in Cheshire is home to more millionaires per square mile than anywhere else in Britain. It is a place where one-in-twenty houses sells for more than 1 million, 20% of the residents enjoy a seven-figure income and in an index of poshness' Alderley Edge scored 136 out of a maximum 137.

The media like to focus on the glitz and the glamour, an image of a shallow nouveau riche. But that is not the real story. The entrepreneurial spirit is concentrated in these streets like nowhere else in Britain. These are self-made people, entrepreneurs with amazing stories of triumphs,
tribulations, disasters and incredible recoveries. There is another side to Alderley Edge and the Golden Triangle', one that the outsider would not necessarily see

He has brought the subject of immigration into being debated, and to his credit he has done so without making sweeping generalisations and scaremongering in the way that Enoch Powell did it. Hats off to him because the PC liberals are now finding it very hard to kill the debate.

Ok thanks for that. I rely on CUK as my sole source of news so generally I have no idea about what's goin on.

BTW I'm sure I saw a white person the last time I went through Wembley and there was no football on. They did look chav like though...

Agreed this is mainly an Indian area. But parts of it are actually quite nice (Wembley Park, Preston Manor) and it's more of a middle class area. Plenty of people living there actually work in the city and live in nice detached houses with gardens. Not comparable to the Pakistani terraces of Oldham.

And what's that to do with the price of fish? You mean you have a millionaires ghetto which only proves my point.
