London Road in West Croydon is a fuckin nightmare after dark. The 'recently arrived' Middle Easterners hang around outside their various shops and harass anybody they don't know as they pass by, particularly white females. It takes very little for it to spark into violence. You simply never see any police and local people steer well clear. On most days it is more like the backstreets of a squalid middle eastern city than a once peaceful and afluent suburb of London.
It has become like that since the end of the Tony Blair era and has got significantly worse over the last 15 years or so. .
During the Croydon riots, some time ago, it was mostly Afro-Caribbean youths taking advantage of the chaos, to see what damage and mayhem they could get away with. For example, as well as setting a long standing, traditional, family owned local furniature store on fire (for no apparent reason) some stole expensive guitars from the music shop and then used them as axes to break shop windows and steal items of much less value. It was mindless and largely opportunist criminal spite.
The police were unprepared and ineffectual then and are even more so nowadays. There was no particular urban decay or deprivation that would have justified such action in Croydon, simply a large community of newly arrived young and potentially violent men. In fact there were no inner city issues in Croydon at all until it became a dumping ground for asylum seekers, illegal immigrants and skilless migrants.
Now it is mostly middle eastern, Afghanistan, Syrian, Kurdish and West African young men with no investment in the town, the community or British values. It is an absolutely perfect example of the failure of multi-culturalism in the UK. Lots of foreign owned fast food outlets though and plenty of 'Turkish' barbers of course.
Most of the people I know who once lived in West Croydon have long since moved themselves and their families away, just like those who once lived in all the other suburban neighbourhoods of London. Those who have remained have only done so because they can't afford to relocate. These areas are now lawless and hostile. In nearby Camberwell there were recently running street battles between rival groups of Eritreans and only last night in Southall there were riots involving muslims celebrating Ramadam and police trying to keep some kind of order. Knife crime is a daily fact of life and so most young people arebforced into gangs. Let's not even mention the grooming gangs.
As English citizens we all see it all the time but we seem powerless to stop it. The government have increased immigration to record levels since lockdown, despite Boris Johnson promising to do the exact opposite, and the media call you 'far right' or racist if you complain about it, especially the BBC or LBC.
London is now only 43% white British and most council housing in most London boroughs is now occupied by people born outside of the UK. Why is anyone surprised that these areas are now so dysfunctional?
