  22. I don't mind the diversity in and of itself, because actually I come from a Mixed-Race background and was born in the early '60s, my father was from West Africa and my mother was from Southern Ireland and I was born here, I just wanted to make that clear so people don't take me the wrong way here. Now, that all said, I also have to say that I do miss hearing a good old London cockney accent and real British accents in general, which is what I grew up with. I'm one of the few who speaks real English as my main language around where I live, so I'm in a minority in that sense too. I open my mouth and many people look like they're thinking "Wow, it's an actual Englishman in London, I thought they'd all moved out of here" I can remember growing up in the 1970s when we used to have a load of newspaper shops and grocery shops in the area that were mainly owned by cockneys, although there was one Asian-owned shop and one Turkish-owned shop back then too. Now, it's ALL Asian and Turkish-owned and not even one single shop is owned by someone who speaks English as their first language. I will stress, that they're all friendly but I'm just saying that I miss hearing proper London accents and at the end of the day, if we are to have diversity, then that should mean what it says, namely, a diversity that INCLUDES the indigenous population as well as others. This is where I think many do have a point when they say that "diversity isn't working" because whilst in one way, I will disagree and say it IS working, in another way, I think they are correct, it ISN'T for some and I can understand where those that it's not working for are coming from. For diversity to TRULY work, it needs to work for ALL, not just everyone else to the exclusion of the indigenous. That's not real diversity. Real diversity should include the indigenous. Many thanks.
