anyone see the last whites of the east end last night..

It was ****ing depressing.

I don't know what they were moaning about. Some sort of change was occurring and instead of adapting to or even fighting it if they wanted to, they all just buggered off.

Proper thickos.

Whatever your political views on immigration, it really was quite sad scenes.
Families with five generations becoming alienated and isolated in areas they've grown up in.
Surely the point of a mixed society is to achieve better managed integration as opposed to flooding an area beyond recognition over a twenty year period.

Hmmmm. I couldn't help but notice they were all rather common, tbh.

Thicko's perhaps but ' some sort of change was occurring ' is possibly a bit of an understatement.

I'm not entirely sure it's done by design, these things happen organically. Of course, the east end has always done a fairly good job of assimilating immigrants and then having them bugger off elsewhere within a generation or two.

Possibly a generation or four, as per my east end immigrant ancestory. German arrival circa 1830, gradually drifting east through Whitechapel, Beffn'll Green, Limehouse, West Ham, Silvertown then hopped over the river to Woolwich before dad was born in '39.

As for integration - he married a girl from Aldgate and tuned pianos but his descendants were in coopering, possibly linked to the germanoid sugar industry in the east end, and they married non-teutons.

Jews of East End? Probably in and out within 60-70 years?

It was between a hundred and two hundred years for the Hugenots of Soho to be fully integrated, according to the book I just read. And in those days there were no political forces encouraging people not to integrate, despite prejudice being far stronger in the past than today.

Exactly, the pace of stuff moves faster now any way. Information, capital, people themselves. We're all more mobile, but then again we have to be.
