Of course London is an English city, the fact it's full of immigrants is nothing new, that's nothing unusual for any capital city and indeed has always been the way of things since time immemorial. Likewise ghettoised areas where certain races and religions live almost exclusively have always been the norm. If you look historically at London's demographic...

Is there a housing shortage though? Its more an affordable housing shortage,, because most of our younger indigenous people are lazy, can't get jobs (due to their attitude) and are, frankly rather stupid. If i do say so myself.
I'm of the opinion you are definitely in a prime position to say that, spath.
But then reading this from Wikipedia, I am gob smacked.
/// In the United Kingdom, crofters have asked to be designated as indigenous peoples of the Scottish Highlands. The UK government does not officially recognise any indigenous peoples within the country. ///
What if President Trump and his government made a remark such as that regarding the Indigenous people of North America?
"They found the Stone Age Briton had dark hair - with a small probability that it was curlier than average - blue eyes and skin that was probably dark brown or black in tone."
"Pale skin probably arrived in Britain with a migration of people from the Middle East around 6,000 years ago. This population had pale skin and brown eyes and absorbed populations like the ones Cheddar Man belonged to."
The simple answer. These are three different things. England is a country, Islam is a religion, Arabs are an ethnic group. In context, London is about 1% Arab, 12% Muslim, 48% Christian and 60% white (various heritages); and 100% in England.
The more interesting way to frame your question is what is a Londoner and to answer that you first need to understand what London is.
London has a unique and complex history. It was the seat of the largest and most diverse empire the world has ever seen. When Queen Elizabeth II was crowned in 1953 she swore to rule her subjects in accordance with their “respective laws and customs.” This pluralism was one of the things that underpinned the empire and still underpins the city.
It is a city known as Londonistan round here (20+miles away). Our local window cleaner recently moved to Essex but returned yday for his round. He prefers his new abode as there are no muslims, mosques or islamic schools. Ofcourse his vacant wcleaning round wasnt filled by a muslim as they dont do menial work, nor join services like police, firemen, road repairs & hens have more teeth than a muslim labouring.
>hens have more teeth than a muslim labouring.
Well I cannot be certain of their religion but all the Asian heritage families having large extensions built nearby seem to use only Asian heritage builders.
But I would agree many seem to prefer driving minicabs and ice cream vans to working on building sites or cleaning windows or gardening, although i don't see that matters
Spath, Cheddar Man being black was debunked a month after you danced around the maypole. Do try and keep up.
