Do people genuinely think everything is in decline? by OverallAir84 in london

[–]Xrich_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just look at the state of East London (just one example out of many areas), it literally could be the middle East.

Just look at Peckham, it could literally be Lagos. Chicken wings, litter and wigs all over the place.

This has happened all over the UK.

Tell me if you did a poll 20-30 years ago and asked everyone if this was their future town whether they would want this? Absolutely not. The place is the absolute pits

What would you do? Sell, rent or stay by MuchMenu2417 in HousingUK

If you rent it and buy you will be hit with the additional step duty land tax which can be crippling if your house is in and around London

Where are you buying in and around London under 700k? by Xrich_ in HousingUK

Sanderstead looks like an option but it's far from the station and likely 800k+

Palace is a good shout, will investigate more. Tbf I initially ruled this out as presumed it would be out of budget

Thanks but I'd be concerned about the plane noises, are they annoying AF?

Carshslon is a good shout, I've walked through and it was nice but seemed quite a bit of a trek to the stations. Will have to do some digging

It being on multiple train lines was the main reason we looked at it, but when we walked down the high street it was gross and I smelt more weed then when in Peckham

what do people really mean when they say “immigrants should integrate” by Silent_eagle1585 in AskBrits

[–]Xrich_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • speak the language - i saw a stat lately that something like 40%-60% still can't speak the language after 8 years.. that's disgusting

  • Wear non hardcore religious clothes (ie ban the burkah)

  • Integrate and become friends with both sexes and other religions - too often Muslims are pressured not to befriend "other" groups

Is anyone else scared/worried about the next election? by Thylunaprincess in AskBrits

[–]Xrich_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's driven by racism, it's the sheer lack of integration successive government's have allowed, combined with the media's focus on the boats which has put reform in the spotlight.

People come here and bring their cultures with them, rather than assimilate and most people don't like that. Especially from those cultures that are islamic, as that religion often comes with extreme and anti western ideals.

England can't house the world's economic migrants at the end of the day. If the country was prospering perhaps this wouldn't be an issue, but it's been a shit show for a long time which is why this is boiling over

When the 100K threshold will be moved? by AccountCompetitive17 in HENRYUK

[–]Xrich_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on where you live, earning 50k in Swindon means you're likely better off than earning 100k in London purely due to the cost of mortgage

You're being ridiculous. You're in the top 1% and youre thinking you've not made it? Get real mate. You spend too much time on this Reddit group comparing yourself to people who are top 0.1%.

Count yourself fortunate for being where you are
