      You were asking where the Jamaicans have gone - as far as I can tell they have mostly moved to advertising agencies and work in TV, film, magazines, newspapers, every media that you can think of - there they are in the adverts and the programs 24/7.
      Good luck to them, but who the F is forcing this on us?
      There are more people from the Indian subcontinent in the UK, but they are not blasted all over the media, what's that about?!
      And media producers, are putting ethnic minorities in British historical programs, when they weren't even in the UK - history is being rewritten.
      Unless explained otherwise, I can only imagine that this is the work, of far left radical extremists!
      Great video, and I'm hungry now!

      @@everest9707 I know what you mean. Because Jamaicans and even black Africans are being exploited because of their loud expressions, charisma and charm and mostly that ENERGY!... Even as a white guy I find that we are being channeled also but in another way. It's like they got a plan for every race and every people. We need to unite bro as that's our last salvation. Bless

    The way Mr. Albert stood up instantly when you gifted him the food to shake your hand and say thank you. He deserves so much better from the country he sacrificed so much to defend. What a hero. What a legend. Hope his situation improves asap. My grandparents on my fathers side were born in Jamaica. My father and I born in England. With my mothers side being mixed British. When he said the local Jamaican women give him food all the time and he got emotional.. wow. Touching. We all need to be less judgmental, more loving, more kind, and giving.

I remember the Brixton riots in the 80s we would sit and watch people walking down the road with tvs 😂😂 I went to some amazing blues party's. I have to say I learnt living in a black community to really know how to dance. I remember the guy dancing in the market place for hours with the reggae music blasting every Saturday . So many great memories. They was also the best days for CB radios meeting people and going to party's to houses selling booze at a bar in the houses . We loved the wimpy too. Pubs was amazing at Christmas time. markets for buying presents everyone was free and happy we was all as one no one had more we was all equal working class people. Bring back the good old days. I loved all the lovers rock music playing through the market specially Carol Thompson. ❤️

      Brixton has changed significantly. Parts of Brixton with the large, beautiful Victorian and Georgian houses have become gentrified. Property prices are astronomical.
      A lot of black people moved out, and white people moved in.
      The centre of Brixton doesn’t have that nice vibe in the evening. You hardly see black people at night. It’s mostly white people partying in Brixton.

    My girl, her son (14) and myself went to Brixton last easter. Rented a beautiful apartment, and stayed there for 6 days. My girlfriend and son, had never been to England before, so I took a chance and said " Have you ever heard of Brixton, near London"? They had not, so off we went. The culture, cafés, bars, secondhand shops, people and the music (everywhere!), made us feel sooo good! We found everything we hoped for. Nice and kind people. We even visited Bowies child home, and The Bowie Memorial. So many good memories, from Brixton.❤

      It was interesting. I thought they’d knocked down a lot of the flats in Brixton. They’re knocking down a lot of the old high rise council estates in London.
      A lot of the Jamaicans sold up and moved out, and I think a lot did go to Croydon. Oh well…. they can’t afford their old houses in Brixton now, as it’s been gentrified.
      I’m glad there’s some residual energy in the place.

      In Jamaica it was enhanced mostly by the Chinese Immigrants despite what some may say on the Internet. Tastee Patties (Vincent Chang) being the flagrunner in its evolution over the past 60 years. Thereafter the Chin's have taken the title with Juici Patties. Every other patty company locally emulates these Patty Companies.
