Not really sure why everyone's acting all shocked about the AfD gains in Germany.

In a country that is overwhelminglyy white British and has been ethnically homogenous for all but the last 70-odd years, would you not say that it's at the very least significant that the capital city is now completely ethnically anomalous?

I would say it is the story of London which has not been ethnically homogenous for more than a century. I would also politely suggest that if you are going to chuck in the West Indian immigrants we should probably go back to European jewry who started arriving in London in the 19th century.

The difference between their arrival and the West indians is actually that the West Indians didnt all move to London. The continuing story of our reaction to immigration shows you that it only really becomes a problem when they go outside London.

As you said previously, London is equipped to deal with mass immigration.

The Jews didn't all move to London, either. There were significant Jewish populations in Leeds, Bradford and Manchester. Marks & Spencer and Montague Burton were both Leeds-based.

Were they not the more established jewish communities though? The first mass migration started in the 1880s and was primarily from eastern europe. I think the overwhelming majority of these arrived and stayed in London. There was a rather well documented tension between the settled jewish communities in most locations and the recent arrivals.

Anyway, the point is that northerners are racists and londoners are decent people.
