Blackburn, Where Segregation Is Normal 🏴
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- Blackburn was facing the post-industrial decline long before most of the country. Since the 1930's it a town which has struggled with unemployment and poverty, with spells of relief in between.
In the late 50s thousands of South Asians were recruited to work the mills on night shifts. The mills were trying compete in production with international markets which required round the clock work. The people that arrived to work settled in Blackburn and it's not said to be the most segregated town in England. 'Parallel Lives' is a term often used to describe the living situation between the white and Asian populations.
When I say people were invited to the mother country to help rebuild the country, I do not mean to rebuild it physically and I am not talking about the Windrush generation, these people were not invited. However, in the 1950s the NHS was recruiting students and professionals from at least 16 of the former colonies and the commonwealth nations. Then there were the mills and factories that directly recruited from the commonwealth.
There was no formal invitations by government, but private and public organisations that employ thousands of people brought people to England.
You''ll also hear many peoples talk about how they were given passports to come here by British representatives in their nations. Yes, this is anecdotal, but having spoke to 10s of completely unrelated people about this both here and in Jamaica, I have no reason to doubt it.
I also complete disagree with the 'diversity built Britain' nonsense we are repeatedly fed, but this does not change the fact we did recruit (invite) people from across the empire to come here and work. "We weren't asked" is nonsense. When the governments acts, they are asking the public, "what are you going to put up with" if the public are passive or lose out politically then they have in fact been asked and accepted the Governments actions.
This is short video and I'll return in the future for a more thorough look at live in Blackburn.
I was born in Blackburn now Morecambe
Ive had good relations with all races and creeds
Ive been attacked by whites blacks browns chinese in Uk and abroad
Good and bad in all races and creeds
The elites divide us to rule us
I say unite in love black white brown yellow Russian Ukrainian Rovers and Burnley fans Palestinian Jews etc etc
No future in division war and violence
All our beliefs have good points and error so why fight over them?
Lets start from now empathy is to put yourself in the shoes of others
Lets unite balance things up for those at the bottom
Lets wake up and make things better for good
Well said!
why do you keep getting attacked mate? Just saying most normal people are lucky to get attacked once. How come everyone's attacking you mate? cant handle your drink? dont tell me its sober? must have a big mouth?
@@johnboy2436 I'm not your mate
That's a term for a female partner
Also I can see what you mean but it's true and I don't know why
Please try not to judge people when you making a false assumption

All in all Blackburn doesn't look as crap as a bunch of other 'diverse' Northern towns and cities. Those women at the church seemed nice but a little naïve at the impact Islam is having in Britain.
Very naive indeed. My thoughts exactly. And they don't live in Blackburn but in a posh, middle class village about 15 miles away !!
@@pilgrimoutdoors-uk6177 i live in a yorkshire market town thats is 95%white,north Yorkshire is wellkept ,60%vote conservative,i only see 4 muslims aweek in my town,there are some foregners there,but mainly Chinese and Kurdish that work in takeaways.we haven't got one mosque,im not muslim btw,its quite posh but theres council housing there too,
The guy went around town only, the residential areas like the one I live in are fucking horrible
The market is great.
Like, it's an interesting video, but the segregation shouldn't be the main focus here, the main focus should be how this tow has gone to absolute shit in the past 10+ years! I couldn't give a fuck about where you're from or what your religion is and every single person I know is exactly the same, but the fact everything has closed down now is a disgrace. When I was a kid, there used to be so much to do whereas nowadays everyone barely leaves their house because it's just a very dull and shite town that the rest of the UK have just forgotten about
We haven't forgotten, we're just helpless and powerless to assist. The UK is going through an unmanageable, "managed" decline.
Everywhere is being strangled off. This isn't an accident.
The Government started with Liverpool in the 1980s and the rest of the UK has followed..
Liverpool was the deliberate start, the most politically
and vocally active, conscious city in the UK.. They knew if they could subdue, demoralise and weaken that city...
They got the rest of the country...
@@eleanorwalmsley635 Clearly it has if everyone still thinks this town is the most or one of the most segregated towns in the UK. We're just like any other ordinary town, we've just been forgotten about and Blackburn isn't the only town like this, it's mainly up north
@@tomcooke6079 not forgotten by me... And yes the racial divides are immense, that is becoming widespread across the country. I'm not trying to minimise Blackburns situation, at all. I don't know what the answers are, to bring the situation back up socially and economically ... I am genuinely sorry for what the north of England is suffering, it's decline has been going on for 40 years.. I am 45 I came from Ireland, moved to Manchester, Rochdale, Preston and then the
West Midlands.. I feel your pain, more than you know.
I'm devastated that successive Governments have actively and deliberately strangled the North of the country off...
I'm devastated by how they have deliberately taken every legitimate avenue of revenue away from the average working person...
When we entered the EU in the 1970s, a deal was made, the deal being.
Germany would take majority of technology, manufacturing
France would take the majority of the farming
Britain would take the "service industries" financial markets.. For the Eton etc educated..
So what are the working class people of Britain supposed to do? Majority of pubs have been killed off, smoking ban and opening times, extortionate rates.
Majority of markets were actively killed off, under the lies of the guise, of market holders avoiding taxes.
Shops, cafes and the high street have been killed off, due to extortionate rates.
Only supermarkets and conglomerates can afford sites on highstreets and prominent places, wages of the workers, government subsidised.
There is nowhere for the kids, the teenagers, the parents to meet up regularly, socially, that is reasonably priced.
All of the clothing factories have been given to China and India, the standard of clothing these days in their cuts, construction and fabrics used are absolutely diabolical. - Even the high end of the market - designers and Saville row.
I honestly live in a country I don't understand.
The only sectors that are available to most are the care sector and selling coffees... Again heavily subsidised by the government.
The countries economy is built on sand effectively...
I don't know why that is..
The UK used to be leaders in the markets for many things... Now everyone is depressed, demoralised and devasted...
We are literally sinking fast on so many levels.
There is so much to this, that is economic as well as social
From Blackburn. Grew up there in the 90's & 00's. Moved out into the south ribble area but still work there. Town is fucked, all the night life has gone, the place is a shithole and treated with disrespect... You know why. To add, poverty and addiction everywhere. Its a lost cause to invest into it.
They needed to acquire city status in the 90's like Preston and open a university but they didnt... Preston thrived and Blackburn didnt becasue of that. Although Preston is slowly going the same way, boarded up shops, addiction but they still have nightlife, Blackburns is gone.
Every single one of my freinds has left to live in the ribble vallley or South ribble area, where its clean, respectable, with night life... You know why.
Born in Blackburn in 1960 moved away in my twenties "was going downhill fast then". Really sad when you have to leave all your memories behind.
I was only there an afternoon. It seemed absolutely fine on the surface, clean, plenty of shops, friendly people. Didn’t sound like there was very much to do when I was speaking to people though. Bland is all I could describe it.

Im from Blackburn I'm white English I've moved away from an area that was fast becoming predominately Pakistani. The streets used to be clean and there was a respect between the communities that isn't really there anymore. As a kid most of my mates were Pakistani and they were good people whereas nowadays a lot of the the younger ones are the most racist people I've ever come across...they're more extreme with thier their religion,they sell 90% of the towns class A's and i wouldn't go to these ares on my own at night. Id never seen a burkha up until about 20 years ago but they seem to be everywhere. The towns a sh*thole basically and I'm leaving as soon as possible
We've got some excellent curry houses though 😊
Admittedly, I’ve had a few messages similar to this since I was there. I’m planning to go back in the summer to get more perspectives. If you know of anyone that would be happy for a chat for the video please have them reach out.
It’s shame you feel that way about your hometown and it’s got to how it is
@@GoingGlobullI would love to chat to you😊
People need to stop praising the food- there are people in this country deluded enough to think that this change has been worth it! (and the food is their main argument)
@@GoingGlobull Blackburn has a large South Asian community. Their families are large and the town receives more Muslims year on year
Because of receiving record numbers of immigrants over the past few years, it’s culturally changing Blackburn. The town in general had some lovely buildings and parks. The residents believe it will be a totally Muslim town within the next decade or so.
White flight
Great bold video here. I'm Blackburn born and bred and a former police officer whistle-blower in the area with local political contacts. Since the general election and the election of the Independent MP Adnan Hussain on the basis of the Gaza situation the racial segregation has worsened. I'd love to chat with you about Blackburn when you return.
Two young men are very good characters ,good lads ,
If you outwardly go and look at the negative anywhere you will find it, change up the negativity and you will see much more positivity , anyway enjoyed the video ,cheers from Ireland
Sup. From TEXAS
@user-be7tb2ut6o I did the opposite, I fled the white areas in Blackburn like Mill Hill, that felt unsafe and went to the Asian areas, where the people are kind and I felt safe. I'm a white guy by the way.
@@Yus1409so you are aware of the Islamic centres? It’s a total segregation. Eventually they will impose their culture of Islam upon us. Don’t believe me? They have been talking about changing the UK to an Islamic state. Over 40% want sharia law too
So whats your view on the immigration riots happening in Ireland now?
I agree to a point, we have to adapt to survive sometimes. Especially in hostile territory more than most.
The wife of the church Dean talks about how wonderful diversity is then says how people feel going out at night now feels unsafe. Interesting.
To be fair to her she did speak about the potential for problems should something happen between communities. It’s also not clear if the problems at night are anything to do with the diversity. I should have asked her why people find it dangerous now looking back at that.
She doesn't realise that the reason Asians don't mix with whites, is because they look down on Western culture and don't want their children to be influenced by it.
@@GoingGlobull its perfectly clear it is. We can safely extrapolate.
I find that's England's problem , they are far to polite about what's been done to their country
@@suecolmerhor When you say England, do you mean the UK?
Blackburn is a really great town with a lot of history. Yes, in a perfect world, everyone would be Christian and integrate with each other, but even in a segregated Blackburn, there is still a mutual respect between each other. The nightlife in the town centre has fallen off in recent years so the economy has taken a bit of a hit. Blackburn is still a very great town is always very nicely decorated at Christmas. I would love to move back there one day.
The UK is finished, it's had it's glory, it had it's worth now. The only thing that matters in the UK is foreign company owners making money. (mostly). I would say the 90s was the end of things in the UK, that was the final straw time. All I hear now in the UK is moaning, high costs, foreign problems(in all matters) and the towns and City's are getting worse each day.
For e.g. Poland used to be a fairly poor and impoverished country, now its taking over the UK for a better and cheaper place to live in all aspects. The Poles are here to make good money, but sooner or later they will be wasting their time coming over here, many Brits will want to live over there trust me.
Funny, I always think of the 90s as peak civilisation too. The world seemed simpler then. I was just a kid though so could just be nostalgia
I was born in the early 90s and the country was given away (in 1997) before I could legally vote. I am out next year!
You’ll be getting hammered with mass non White immigration soon. Poles have taken the devils coin, aka EU money, soon he will call on you to do his dues.
@@paddyanglais91Tony Blair and his ECHR act 1998. Mass immigration on steroids and illegal proxy wars
The Poles are undoubtedly a success story. They integrate seamlessly (problem is they have stopped moving here since Brexit). Just a shame we can't say the same for all our millions of third world immigrants! 😳🥺🫣
What is actually disingenuous is that we needed people to help rebuild from abroad. Total lie.
More of an embellishment than a lie. We recruited thousands of people from the colonies and commonwealth during the 50s / 60s
@@GoingGlobullYes, but we also had a £10 pomme scheme. Governments in need of labour don't subsidise the cost of emigration for labourers, because that would make no sense. Britons with government help went in very large numbers to Canada, South Africa, Rhodesia, New Zealand and most famously to Australia. That does not include the brain drain to America! We imported thousands whilst exporting millions! I'm no conspiracist, but there's something very strange about that.
Have you seen the state of none working clsss English? You definitely needed immigration
@@thehound9638when they have a crumbling empire they do and the poms had a choice they left for a better life
Also don’t you think it’s a bit hypocritical that the Australian population was pretty low before ww2? Essentially those places were heavily populated by Europeans post ww2 yet you decry when the reverse happens in Western Europe. You people are nothing but hypocrites in my eyes. No sympathy.
@@GoingGlobull No, no-one was "recruited", if that were the case there'd be some kind of historical record about it. After WW II many of the former colonies were in economic decline. The UK tried to help by allowing migration from these countries and providing a right to work. The plan was that, after a few years, the migrants would return to their home countries and help to kick-start their own economies. The return never happened at any meaningful level.
A short sanitised view of a devastated area.
Youre not the first to say that. I could only see what I saw. I’ll go back in the summer to have another look
@@GoingGlobullBlackburn muslim population has soared the last 5 years. It’s being taken over and likely to be a Muslim town within a few years. It’s quite segregated too. Some of the younger south Asians are the problem. They refuse to accept our culture. Been told many times by Pakistani men that they will outnumber the indigenous population and take over with Islam. Some of Blackburn has been totally changed culturally. Thanks to mass uncontrolled immigration

Silent discos in an Anglican cathedral? No wonder the Church of England is no longer taken seriously 😅
Hasn’t been for a while secularisation hit us less hard in Blackburn than did population loss. The anglicans have been hit pretty hard (their main constituency is white middle class people) their the ones most likely to be able to afford to leave. Catholics have a bigger hold amongst the white working class (Ewood, Mill Hill, higher-Croft and whiteburke) the only area with largish numbers of anglicans is the wealthiest white area (livesy and pleasington)

Four thousand Halal's in Blackburn, Lancashire
We did not invite them over here.
The Politicians did that without telling us what they were doing.
Exactly, they were smuggled in essentially without invite. The result are what we see today. Can you imagine fighting to continue this path the Nation has found itself in. I'm happy to let it rot away, got no pride left in this Nation.

I understand the argument for the silent discos etc in the church but it does feel like it undermines the ultimate purpose of the church (surely that should be to maintain tradition and be a pillar of stability???) idk. Aren't there town halls that could host such events?
I agree with you. I can see why the church needs to run events like that though particularly when it comes to funding.
@@GoingGlobull That's true. It's understandable, although a bit sad.
Blackburn has always been racial segregated I’m white female and have not dared go into town on my own for years
2 very pleasant lads you met at the beginning there. Thats part of the conundrum isn't it... in some areas the cultural history and traditions of the indigenous white people have been stripped away, however the majority of people who have moved in are very nice people. I've also noticed that the last white people to move out of those areas tend to be the roughest drug/alcohol consumed of the lot.
Not necessarily they just tend to be ether poor or old, both meaning ether I rent and can’t afford to move or I own and can’t afford to move or I’ve been here 40 years I’m retired ill move when I’m dead.
I think many towns citys are now segregated on religion,nationality, demograpic lines
they are
When Britain abandoned the Lord Jesus Christ and began accepting everybody else's religion, it ceased to be Great Britain.
The country is a vast Potemkin Village we plebs are utterly broke and impoverished.
Things have changed so much, that, now, if you see a Christmas tree in somebody's window, it looks more like an act of defiance than the jolly seasonal thing it used to be....
There will always be segregation in Blackburn, the 2 cultures just do not mix very well. I have good friends that are Pakistanis. I am from Blackburn Feniscowles where there are no Muslims at all 😊
Your highlighting of failed multicult should awake everyone and begin THE repatriation act.
Ah yes too british lads celebrating the classic british tradition of the Islamic festival of the Eid. See there is hope for integration, any of you dare tell me these polite young men arent british. Excactly. You guys and your silly theories.
Being British is much much more than a bureacratic status. If you went to Karachi you would never be a "Pakistani" , neither would your children or grandchildren. This is obvious.
Many who could flee but wanted to remain to the surrounding area and could afford it went to live in The Ribble Valley, that place now has villages with night clubs whereas I don't think Blackburn has any or many nightclubs. Anyone remember Manhattan Heights in the 90s on Blackburn town centre ?
'Mr G's was my favourite nightclub in Blackburn during the late 80's..I had some great nights there.
I remember the Cavendish, which later became Peppermint Place, this was an absolutely brilliant club.

@davidhookway514 I agree. My question was about the Wind Rush generation. Were they illegal immigrants?
I believe we all agree that mass immigration wasn’t the best idea but coming at it from different ways. Germany , Japan rebuilt without immigration so we didn’t need it
The Government did not try to turn the WindRush back, they tried to divert the ship to East Africa. You are correct they were not invited, when they found out it was on the way, they tried to divert it. BBC documentary on this title The Unwanted. The secret Windrush files available to view on UA-cam.
I’ve lived in the US for 35 years, and though I spent time in the north when I was young, I never appreciated the history or the buildings at the time. I love to watch your videos, although I find the decline of many towns very sad.
Thank you. The decline, particularly up north, has been pretty longstanding. It’s only now the south is going the same way that people are paying attention. There’s plenty of beautiful places here still too, I’ll try some more of that when the weather is better
We have many of those issues mixing cultures and neighborhoods change...
Main problem in Blackburn is segregation caused by white flight, as is the issue in other parts of the country. The white areas are unfortunately no go areas, especially at night, and the socio-economic issues need to be addressed, along with a changing attitudes to education and moral values
What do you think causes the shite people to leave areas?
You should go Burnley

I don't want to go to Burnley,
What they do there don't concern me,

Im a white guy that moved to Blackburn. I feel safer in the Asian areas than the white areas. Sadly the rough areas in Blackburn are the white areas.
Nice to see a different perspective to the typical comments you tend to see. I had more issues with white people than Asians overall and I lived in a largely Asian area myself for most of my life until recently.
I take it you converted to Islam then?
That's because they were the ones who were too poor to move
I completely agree Yus..the white area's scare the shit out of me at night..I have no problem with Asians.
The asians were lumped into certain areas and this promoted an us and them outlook. Not their fault. Scott Bournemouth Dorset. Born at Queens Park hospital blackburn.
Strange how the young lads don’t have a Lancashire accent- FFS.
Did the colonisers pick up the asian accent when they were in the sub continent all them years ago? I think not - they were focused on stealing the wealth
@YesSir-ms3uk You’ll most certainly find that strange accent in Yorkshire as well.
@YesSir-ms3uk Asian? What on Earth does that mean? Would you describe a murder suspect as Asian?
@YesSir-ms3uk You might want to look in the odd history book, and ignore Blair’s programming.

SHORT BUT INTERESTING SHARE JOSH 🇬🇧🇬🇸🇰🇳
Cheers as always mate
Got to appreciate the quality editing in your videos. If we look back at history, all empires had a multi cultural and multi racial element in their way of life, and Britain is no exception. Though I do think that the modern conception and emphasis of economic growth (which led to this immigration in the first place) is getting old now, and people are desperate to go back to their primordial roots of close knit communities. So I think circular economics will be important in the future, which would mean a lot of people who don't share the anglo saxon culture will most probably go back to their ancestral countries just to fit in to their original way of life. These videos are precious and will be of extreme value in the future. Thank you.
Thank you. It’ll be interesting to see how things play out. Particularly with other nations catching up economically and even offer opportunities for a much more fulfilling life than the drudge of U.K. living. Community and cultural aspects will always draw people to ancestral homes, but many have made the U.K. home and will stay. There are also always men who want to stay implant their way of thinking on others.
@@GoingGlobull”implant their way of thinking on others” is interesting, do you think that’s a good thing or bad thing? And why would it be only men?
Im indifferent about it. It happens and it’s up to the people to decide whether they will accept others ways or not.
I do believe some ideas are better than others so it depends on which ideas are being presented. Currently I’m not a fan of a lot of ideas in the U.K.
I say men because I believe it’s men who build and police societies that enable women to have a say. If a 1000 men and 1000 women had to fight to the death for whoever’s ideas survive my money would be on the men 100% of the time. It’s crude and simplistic, but gender equal and civilised societies are not inevitable and in many places they aren’t desirable
Old fashioned values but wont happen....sadly....
Love your content, but you need to start researching more. The claim we invited people over after the war is an absolute lie. No one asked them to come, they just arrived and at the same time the government was heavily pushing for English people to move to Australia.
I wasn’t talking about Windrush which you’re correct nobody asked them. I’ve put stuff in the description. We were actively recruiting from the commonwealth thousands of nurses and doctors throughout the 50s along with other industries

Have to say mate, quite limited footage. Should have gone to places like Audley, Baswell, Highercroft, Shadsworth, Mosley Street etc. to see the real Blackburn!
Yeah im going back soon. I’ll check these places out, thanks
1950s Britain needed workers to their factories going because many men killed in the War. Immigrants kept
the mills and foundries going. What unemployment are you talking about. Blackburn is multi cultural and we are all proud of it. We don't need shit stirrers from outside snooping around.
The U.K. had full employment. Immigrants were brought in for cheap labour to work night shifts in the factories to try match the production of international markets.
Blackburn is now one of the places in the country with the highest unemployment.
Saying somewhere is multicultural doesn’t make it automatically a decent place. Just ask many of the thousands that have left over the recent years what they think about it.
You’re entitled to your opinion but the imperialist believed wherever the empire was it was best for the locals too.
@@GoingGlobull full employment, empire was good? Good for whom? Not the lands being plundered. Why is Britain apologising to colonies then?

Anno, if he wants to see a true working class area but with .. poverty all over! town center all boarded up .. drugs being ran by Liverpool at Barrow Island .. absolute hole.. this is a massive advertisement of how the UK has gone wrong
Sweet, Barrow in Furness? I remember it being a dump when I went up there to do my first mushroom video
@@GoingGlobull mental tho, loads of money knocking about due to the ship yard ... but the place is baaaad.. sunak was there a few days ago .. government needs a kick up the arse to sort it ha
Amazing, I’ll head there this week. Thanks if there’s anything or anywhere specific you recommend me going to I’d appreciate the info too. Thanks mate
Beautifully filmed and narrated.
Thank you
Go Preston
I was there last week. Quality city. Loads of lads cutting about in bikes in balaclavas. One for the future videos wise
Did she say they have disco's in the church? !
Played a gig at the fusebox once in the late 80s
@@clownofthetimes6727 nice! I think we played in maybe 1988? But we did play with Danbert Nobacon from Chumbawamba that night! And a band called Pleasant Valley Children from Leeds
Who's filled you full of lies about most houses not having sanitation; e.g., no toilets and nowhere to wash in the 1950's? Absolute rubbish. Of course we had those things. I shan't be watching any more of your videos if that's the standard of your research.
People still used wash houses into the 1960s. Not everyone but sections of society did.
We still have launderedttes but that doesn't mean the people using them don't have their own sanitation facilities. Blackburners did have their own sanitation facilities in the 1950s.
But the people using the wash houses in the 50s and 60s is a different story.
There is segregation in some northern towns, but we have nowhere bear the level of racial segregation and cities and towns in America. Go to Chicago, Baltimore, Los Angeles and Memphis to see all black neighbourhoods in certain areas of major American cities.
London isn't as segregated as American cities but many cities in the Northern UK are. Also the US is getting less segregated over time while the UK seems to be getting more segregated over time.
White Americas are almost a minority at 57% census 2021
(for the second time) you were born in Britain? Yes. Do you consider yourself British? Yes. Top quality interviewing.
Its a perfectly valid question, ive heard it way more times that people dont consider themselves swedish, although having been born there. They will consider themselves turkish, pakistani etc. Yet they have no desire to return there, despite wanting that culture, that people, etc.
If someone is born somewhere it doesnt imbue them magically with the character of that nations people. Specially when the parents teach one thing at home that they must obey no matter what.
@@dimajo3057 Utter nonsense. If someone is born in Britain, they're British. The question would not have been asked had they been white.
@@MyMpc1
Nonsense', theyre not ethnically british if theyre not white.
Stop talking silly, plenty non-white people agree with this.
Is grooming gangs operating there under the eyes of the police and nothing do about it? Two tier policing?
They’re everywhere and two tier policing still needs to be stopped
Btw, people weren’t invited to rebuild. Tickets were sold incorrectly and our law stated all people were ‘subjects’ long before we created British ‘citizenship’. So movement was allowed for all subjects because we hadn’t had a need for immigration law yet.
Do ya drugs but do em at home 😂😂
Correction G, no peoples were asked to come and help the UK after WW2.
The govt. at the time actually paid Brits to emigrate, those who went to Australia were called £10 Poms. It is a lie told so often that to some people it has become truth. Ask yourself, why would the authorities pay people to emigrate if the country needed rebuilding.
I know people who were asked. Both can be true. People were recruited from all over. Not in great numbers but they were recruited. Do you think the authorities make reasonable or logical decisions? I’d love a new £10 Pom scheme though, I’d be all over it
good insights.
Go to oldham where the riots happened
Where they was setting fire to wheelie bins celebrating when the twin towers happened
All going well I’ll be in Manchester this week
👍
@@GoingGlobullyes mate! Lot to see, Cheetham hill (check out c hill road and also bury new road where the fake capital is especially for a few interesting flags….), then obviously you have wythenshawe, moss side, as I said other week Hattersley. As they mentioned above Oldham and also you know what happened in Rochdale. There’s a lot of segregation happening to say the least.
All of Cheetham Hill has been closed down now.@@AI-Records24
more revisionist history
How so? The nhs was recruiting across the commonwealth and the colonies throughout the 1950s. The mills recruited from South Asia the late 50s and all the 1960s. All in an attempt to sustain our economy and compete with international markets. What’s revisionist about that? I’m not talk about Windrush or saying diversity built Britain
Love how everyone is copying bens intros picasso quote comes to mind
Loved it all, but who goes to fish and chip shop and has a weird meat thing?
Racial demographic shift occurring in many Western countries provides a unique context to study the reactions of a high-power group (White people) to the potential loss of their privileged position in society. Three experiments (N = 77, N = 302, N = 555) conducted in Canada, the US, and the UK showed that White people who are reminded about the ongoing demographic changes. Overtime with many mix marriages people will be of a brown colour.
Wait? What ? Why would they mix sorry ?
Ee bah goom, there's no more room! Very Blackburn.
Seemed a lot nicer than most predominantly Asian towns in the north/Midlands, lack of rubbish being dumped on the street is always a good sign. Thought everyone you interviewed seemed pretty positive and fair actually.
That’s how it seemed to me too. Even the conversations I had off camera were more of the same.
Because he only went into the town centre! All the residential areas are exactly like that!
We call that a pasty bap jn Northern Ireland 👌
Too much mental health issues, town centre full of druggies in doorways, scooting round on bikes, then you take in the alcoholics in groups hanging round the benches, within 2 hours shopping I saw 20/25 people of this calibre 😮
Yeah there was a little bit of that when I was there, nothing out of the ordinary from other places I’ve been too. It was a quiet cold day so that probably didn’t help. I’ll be back in the summer
What type of hat is this ? Love it
Not sure, made me think of the RAF bomber hats so I got it
Where from ?
I got it in a market in Australia
What's up skid Marks
Not a lot
Interesting conversations i dont think theres anything wrong with what the Dean said about that being a unique iconic public space that should be used. A refreshing change from the usual old bitter gatekeepers you get with buildings like that.
I was torn. A church is a holy place, having said that it needs to get funding somehow and if it runs events that bring people together in a safe environment then who’s to argue with that
what does the black flag mean
Welcome back 🎉
Its all nice to be well meaning and to "go along to get along" but what people like these nice women don't get is the problem is demographics. "White" native English people, whatever they used to be, anglo-saxon, celtic whatever will just fade away, and "asians" meaning mostly Muslims will just increase and increase. Its very sad and ironic. Britain conquered the world at one point, (well not that extreme, but the sun never sets on the British Empire and all that) and now the conquered are ascending. "White" Britishers will become like aboriginals in Australia or take your pick of any number of native American tribes in the U.S.A. They'll be relagated to marginal communities just lingering on like maybe what happened to o the "little people" after the Celts came. Except that it will be worse, because Americans feel guilty about what happened to the native Americans, but the Muslims will feel no guilt whatsoever to what will happen to the native English. In fact they love it, they live for that.
If you want to show life in Britain in the 21st century, why not explore more prosperous areas too? Rutland, Surrey, Berkshire, Hampshire, Hertfordshire, etc etc are all wealthy, beautiful places to live and deserve exposure too.
Im starting with the north. Those places are far from me and / or cost a fortune to get to and stay in
@@GoingGlobullFair enough. I’m from Rutland I must say watching all of your recent videos on the north has been really quite eye opening for me. I’ve always known there are genuinely deprived and struggling areas in our country but the level of disrepair, crime and litter fly-tipped everywhere has shocked me - some of the scenes in your videos I would have believed were filmed in undeveloped countries that lack waste disposal infrastructures. I can’t fathom why people allow their neighbourhoods to get into such a condition.
I used to live in Rutland, beautiful part of the world.
People are typically really friendly up here. With the deprivation and crime some areas are worse than others, there’s not much opportunity locally. Not really an excuse for the rubbish though, but I suppose it’s all part of the same problems.
“More prosperous areas” aka majority White British areas
@@JustLaughs2024Indians are the highest earning group in the uk. Stop being racist thanks
After the war we did not need people from Sri Lanka Pakistan or wherever to come and rebuild the country, how on earth is this lie being peddled still
We brought them over to work the mills late 50s / early 60s for night shifts when we were trying to maintain and compete productivity with the international markets.
Caribbeans were handed passports the decade before and asked or invited to come to England. Whys that so hard to believe?
@@GoingGlobull because the windrush ship was discussed in parliament when they arrived, no one knew why they were here, that is documented so your story about the passports is just rubbish, unless there were NGOs operating in the area back at the time 🤣 The mills…. It’s nothing to do with rebuilding the country after the war you’re describing cheap imported labour.
I have friends who’s families are here because they were given passports in their village. I spoke to many people from Caribbean (mostly Jamaican) descent with similar stories. Even in Jamaica people told me the same
Building / maintaining the economy is definitely about rebuilding the country.
@@GoingGlobull so are all the Uber drivers and deliveroo guys rebuilding the economy post covid? Such a stretch. Do you have any links or evidence to the passports being handed out? Because a ship of 1000 Caribbean’s rocking up with passports and no one knowing why is quite a scandal. In modern day terms it’s like a dinghy load popping over to Dover with fresh documents
Today’s immigration and immigration then is very different. It wasn’t nearly in the same numbers as it is now.
The British Nationality Act 1948 is probably evidence enough
👍
You do realize the same number of Brits-West Indians...roughly a million, left to go to Australia/New Zealand during this time (the 10 pound poms)...my dad was one of them.
Have you got a point?
@@CHRISANDREOU4199 Are you that thick?
What a load of crap. staged and rehearsed.
Lol wtf are you on about?
Isnt diversity just wonderful. Im from Manchester and I wish we had more diversity in Manchester like you do in Blackburn
Being a yank I find the term " white people" being used by British odd ..because this is a term that is common in the US... Anglo or English or British would normally come to mind in the context of where you are at as its THE UK / Britian. Like BRITISH ..being fair skinned would seem to be a given being British or am I wrong?
The British are of European ancestry so anyone else who claims they are, e.g. Africans, Indians, Asians, etc... They are only "British" per their citizenship.
Same goes for other European countries, but it differs when it comes to Western countries where Europeans were the settlers, that is, they're not the native people of those countries.
Europe is the homeland of Europeans (or if you prefer, White people).
We are one of the most segregated towns in the UK. We do not mix unless we have too
Blackburn born and bread?... doesn't sound like it, mate.
