It's a shame that all too often people who don't agree with it resort to lazy and predictable abuse and makes them as intolerant as the genuine racists who cause misery for black people in London.

I should know, I'm black myself.
Being black yourself does not mean you are talking any less rubbish

You call him a 'bigot' because he states a well know fact?

Although I am of black (Australian Aboriginal) heritage I am quite aware that it is sadly the truth that this assertion is correct. It is a socio-economic reality. And pathetic head- in- the-sand avoidance of the state of things does Not help. The big losers in mega cities like London would really be best out of it, for their own as well as the general populations well being. Large estates of impoverished people would be best demolished and their residents relocated to rural areas where life is generally easier when one is on a limited budget and confronted by the day to day mundane that is inherent in an existence without means whilst constantly being confronted by the all pervasive opulence that really is the shop window of this financial capital of the world.

It's a real shame that most of these forums end up the domain of trolls :-D when making any submission try to keep it objective

What makes you think that things would be easier in rural areas?

There is a lot of hidden poverty in such areas and things like lack of public transport can make it more difficult for people to get work. Rural communities ending up spending a higher percentage of income on running cars.

Work may be seasonal and in many areas even that may not be available.
