  1. The comeback of London can only be made with having all of England aware of what has indeed happened to your wonderful capital city and a world-heritage city. To hear that since the early 70s to the present day only 1/3 of British people actually make up the population of London should be a wake-up call for Britain and for the entire world. Margaret Thatcher said something when she was Prime Minister: she said that when people see their neighborhoods change into places they wouldn’t recognize in just one person's lifetime, that it was normal that immigration has to be modified. It must not become a city-changer instead of a city-builder. Diversity is a wonderful thing, but if you go to the pub and decide to go all out and not only have crisps with your pint, but also order side dishes of peanuts, popcorn, pretzels, dried anchovies, dried smoked fish, Slim Jims, Long Johns, pepperoni, Fritos, beer nuts, ham-sausage spread, fried pork rind and why not throw in some sesame crackers to top it off? I'm quoting from The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, but you get my point. Eat all of that stuff while you're having a pint and suddenly the beer doesn't taste like beer anymore---more like mouthwash. London cannot and must not be allowed to become a place where the only people that feel good living there are the ones that got there illegally or that they have found their second home is just like back home with their own language to boot. No one is talking about denying anyone the right to live anywhere, but we cannot allow our cities to no longer resemble the streets that have been a certain way for centuries. What is the solution? There is only one; housing in London must be modified to have rents that can be sustainable to all levels of working people from the cities in England that could be enticed to move to London. London must aim for the early 1970's ethnicities percentages in the population.
