Reply to: London iPhone Queue

that is my favourite for the most asinine & divisive comment for the day.

Mine too.

To be fair we had a fire alarm test last week and the queue to get back in our office looked like that covent garden queue

Maybe the queue in question is populated with IT workers on tier 1 visa? GO BOB!

I saw the same thing outside the Cardiff Apple store, I would say 85-90% were of Asian origin and Cardiff probably only has a 10-15% non white population.

I'm not passing any sort of judgement but just curious as to why the iPhone 5 is so popular with a certain section of society?

Indeed. There must be some reason for this based on social demographics.

I was expecting the mix to be more like this :

Glasgow

5th Avenue (a tourist centre in a country populated almost entirely by recent immigrants)

not for it to be entirely Indian.


I suspect that they were paid to queue, if you notice the clothing there are few expensive clothes.

do try and keep up.

To be fair, it looks like you need to keep up

1. Not all brown people are immigrants, there are plenty of tourists nowadays.
2. Not all brown immigrants are poor.
3. Not all brown people are immigrants or tourists.

Get it?

This tosser:

that referred to a photo where its clear the ethnic make up is Asian just by looking, you then moved the focus to those on benefits where it is not clear what the ethnic make up is, yet you suggested it was white and lazy.

do try and keep up.

who said anything about a white skin?

This tosser:

OK immigration is seriously out of control.

Its a picture showing a queue for a generic device which shows 99.9% of people in the queue are asian, in a country with allegedly 8% ethnic minorities.

[vetran]

So you think having white skin and a UK passport entitles you to a nice middle-class life-style? What kind of leftie are you?

DA.

who said anything about a white skin?

Don't know if you have noticed Britain was already multi coloured. More people have been brought here to lower wages for big multinationals including white eastern Europeans. It's about a pushing of the populace to a subsistence level so a few rich people can have a bigger yacht. That's not leftie, its reasonable fear of becoming a serf.

[d000hg]

Indeed. The funny thing is the joke is on the Wail. They've made the assumption that these are poor immigrants rather than tourists, not realising that Indians are a large component of tourists in London nowadays, and not realising that these are the probably the new relatively well-off middle class.

But that's why I don't buy the stupid Wail.

And isn't it disgusting that 99% of tourists are foreigners too?

[d000hg]

You mean - If they can afford to live in poverty which compared to home is luxury then why shouldn't the natives do the same? I do so hope you fall on hard times, remind us then why you are claiming benefits?
