Inside London's Most Dangerous Ghetto 🇬🇧

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 พ.ค. 2024
  • I came to London's most dangerous and roughest areas to see if the rumours were true, starting with Tower Hamlets which has a notorious reputation. My local friend @Abzventure led me into the 'ghetto' to see if the hype of the place was legit, the answers were certainly mixed...
    Then we headed to Newham with @Kingkayaamedia who showed us around another supposedly rough area of London where he grew up. We meet the locals who share their thoughts if this really is a place you should avoid. Welcome to London! 🇬🇧

      Those responsible for destruction are muslims of India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Middle East, Bangladesh.
      I don't think Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, Zoroastrian Indians or non muslim Persians, Jews are causing any sort of problems.
      They are highly educated on average and have highest household incomes and most university degrees. They don't deal with drugs, seek human welfare or asylum or rape.
      Moreover except for your communist, globalist prime minister who is an exception I don't think in general hindu and Christian migrants from India are causing any poverty, violence in England.

      Actually India Today is one of the largest economic powers and currently the fastest growing economy in the world under the current leadership.
      Today India is completely different from what it was in 1980 when the country was closed to the global investors and economy.
      Check the statistics of United Nations Development Programme, World Bank, International Monetary Fund and Morgan and Stanley - they have clearly mentioned that currently only 14% of the population of India live below poverty line and in last decade 450 million Indians have been lifted out of absolute poverty. Moreover one more strong evidence is the rapidly growing middle class and the booming consumer market.
      India Today has the fastest growing consumer market in the world the reason why numerous global brands have and are opening their business in India.
      Even in the infrastructure case, there is a massive upgradation going on currently. You see the latest global news reports.
      Boeing, Airbus have received their largest purchase orders which are also the largest in the entire history of aviation from Indian airline carrier groups like Air India, Indigo. The reason behind this, more and more number of Indians are travelling by air with more and more airports being built throughout India by the government because the domestic part of India's air transport is far larger than the international part.
      Thirdly, India's recent upgradation of its railways with its new fleet of semi high speed trains like Vande Bharat and building of tunnels through mountains in Northwestern and Northeast Indian Himalayas and it's rapidly growing highway, expressway networks and bridges- the Atal sea link recently constructed connecting Mumbai to Pune over the Arabian Sea.
      Lastly India recently have became successful in constructing an underwater metro railway.

    I moved away from East London 2004 and never went back. I used to take my toddler out in the push chair and had to have one eye over my shoulder at all times. Had a couple of guys walk right up to my kids pushchair giving me a stare I’ll never forget. I stared back at them with so much hatred because they were doing it to my kid, and I’ll be honest I would have defended my kid my last breath. I was one of the toughest guys in the area in my mid twenties, but wouldn’t fancy my chances now. It’s gangs outnumbering individual victims with zero honour and zero respect for community.

      Those responsible for destruction are muslims of India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Middle East, Bangladesh.
      I don't think Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, Zoroastrian Indians or non muslim Persians, Jews are causing any sort of problems.
      They are highly educated on average and have highest household incomes and most university degrees. They don't deal with drugs, seek human welfare or asylum or rape.
      Moreover except for your communist, globalist prime minister who is an exception I don't think in general hindu and Christian migrants from India are causing any poverty, violence in England.
      Actually India Today is one of the largest economic powers and currently the fastest growing economy in the world under the current leadership.
      Today India is completely different from what it was in 1980 when the country was closed to the global investors and economy.
      Check the statistics of United Nations Development Programme, World Bank, International Monetary Fund and Morgan and Stanley - they have clearly mentioned that currently only 14% of the population of India live below poverty line and in last decade 450 million Indians have been lifted out of absolute poverty. Moreover one more strong evidence is the rapidly growing middle class and the booming consumer market.
      India Today has the fastest growing consumer market in the world the reason why numerous global brands have and are opening their business in India.
      Even in the infrastructure case, there is a massive upgradation going on currently. You see the latest global news reports.
      Boeing, Airbus have received their largest purchase orders which are also the largest in the entire history of aviation from Indian airline carrier groups like Air India, Indigo. The reason behind this, more and more number of Indians are travelling by air with more and more airports being built throughout India by the government because the domestic part of India's air transport is far larger than the international part.
      Thirdly, India's recent upgradation of its railways with its new fleet of semi high speed trains like Vande Bharat and building of tunnels through mountains in Northwestern and Northeast Indian Himalayas and it's rapidly growing highway, expressway networks and bridges- the Atal sea link recently constructed connecting Mumbai to Pune over the Arabian Sea.
      I am a realist and I honestly say China is already out of the third world status long back and India is rapidly transitioning into a second world country that is it's in the Goldilocks Phase in terms of economists.

    So, when I was last in London, my 10 year old daughter and I ended up wandering around Tower Hamlets (Whitechapel area) looking for an address that we couldn’t find as my phone died. It was 6-8 pm on a Saturday evening. I might add that we’re Americans so it was all new to us. Yeah, it seemed dodgy but frankly not that bad. We ran into some very nice people who were quite helpful. Never felt endangered. I’m sure it’s rough late at night, but compared with most US cities, it wasn’t that bad. It was, however, heavily Bangladeshi which was somewhat of a culture shock to be sure. Have to totally agree with what your mates were saying there. Great video, btw!

But what do you expect when the Conservatives have vastly reduced police numbers? Remember that when you go to vote later this year.

      Those responsible for destruction are muslims of India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Middle East, Bangladesh.
      I don't think Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, Zoroastrian Indians or non muslim Persians, Jews are causing any sort of problems.
      They are highly educated on average and have highest household incomes and most university degrees. They don't deal with drugs, seek human welfare or asylum or rape.
      Moreover except for your communist, globalist prime minister who is an exception I don't think in general hindu and Christian migrants from India are causing any poverty, violence in England.
      Actually India Today is one of the largest economic powers and currently the fastest growing economy in the world under the current leadership.
      Today India is completely different from what it was in 1980 when the country was closed to the global investors and economy.
      Check the statistics of United Nations Development Programme, World Bank, International Monetary Fund and Morgan and Stanley - they have clearly mentioned that currently only 14% of the population of India live below poverty line and in last decade 450 million Indians have been lifted out of absolute poverty. Moreover one more strong evidence is the rapidly growing middle class and the booming consumer market.
      India Today has the fastest growing consumer market in the world the reason why numerous global brands have and are opening their business in India.
      Even in the infrastructure case, there is a massive upgradation going on currently. You see the latest global news reports.
      Boeing, Airbus have received their largest purchase orders which are also the largest in the entire history of aviation from Indian airline carrier groups like Air India, Indigo. The reason behind this, more and more number of Indians are travelling by air with more and more airports being built throughout India by the government because the domestic part of India's air transport is far larger than the international part.
      Thirdly, India's recent upgradation of its railways with its new fleet of semi high speed trains like Vande Bharat and building of tunnels through mountains in Northwestern and Northeast Indian Himalayas and it's rapidly growing highway, expressway networks and bridges- the Atal sea link recently constructed connecting Mumbai to Pune over the Arabian Sea.
      Lastly India recently have became successful in constructing an underwater metro railway.
      Stop coupling Indians with African or Arabs.
      The demographics of Indian migrants are heaven compared to those of African/ Arab/ Iranian/ Pakistani/ Afghans.
      Indians are far far more closer to Chinese , Japanese, Korean that is proper Asian migrants because they are hardworking, don't seek asylum or absue women and are the ones with highest number of educational degrees.
      Please I am only refering to Non muslim Indians.
      Not muslim Indians who are similar to Pakistani/ Middle Easterner migrants.

      Those responsible for destruction are muslims of India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Middle East, Bangladesh.
      I don't think Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, Zoroastrian Indians or non muslim Persians, Jews are causing any sort of problems.
      They are highly educated on average and have highest household incomes and most university degrees. They don't deal with drugs, seek human welfare or asylum or rape.
      Moreover except for your communist, globalist prime minister who is an exception I don't think in general hindu and Christian migrants from India are causing any poverty, violence in England.
      Actually India Today is one of the largest economic powers and currently the fastest growing economy in the world under the current leadership.
      Today India is completely different from what it was in 1980 when the country was closed to the global investors and economy.
      Check the statistics of United Nations Development Programme, World Bank, International Monetary Fund and Morgan and Stanley - they have clearly mentioned that currently only 14% of the population of India live below poverty line and in last decade 450 million Indians have been lifted out of absolute poverty. Moreover one more strong evidence is the rapidly growing middle class and the booming consumer market.
      India Today has the fastest growing consumer market in the world the reason why numerous global brands have and are opening their business in India.
      Even in the infrastructure case, there is a massive upgradation going on currently. You see the latest global news reports.
      Boeing, Airbus have received their largest purchase orders which are also the largest in the entire history of aviation from Indian airline carrier groups like Air India, Indigo. The reason behind this, more and more number of Indians are travelling by air with more and more airports being built throughout India by the government because the domestic part of India's air transport is far larger than the international part.
      Thirdly, India's recent upgradation of its railways with its new fleet of semi high speed trains like Vande Bharat and building of tunnels through mountains in Northwestern and Northeast Indian Himalayas and it's rapidly growing highway, expressway networks and bridges- the Atal sea link recently constructed connecting Mumbai to Pune over the Arabian Sea.
      I am a realist and I honestly say China is already out of the third world status long back and India is rapidly transitioning into a second world country that is it's in the Goldilocks Phase in terms of economists.
      The blame is to be put on muslims and not Asians like Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Nepalese, non muslim Indians who are hardworking and law abiding.
      I hope you understand!

    Ben, I am sure it is possible to get a lower priced rail ticket, but it is necessary to plan ahead, have a railcard and be prepared for split ticketing (two or more tickets for the same journey). As for the areas of London, in Newham at the Westfield shopping center (Stratford) there are regular announcements warning people to keep their valuable secure and safe from theft. They wouldn't do that our of joy. This is next to the London 2012 Olympic Park, which is a fab place to visit. Unfortuntely knife crime is a problem in London in general, and you are more likely to get a ticket for speeding in one of the too many 20mph roads than be picked up for having a knife. I used to live nearby but escaped to the coast a few years ago. I go back by train now and again, the whole of East London into Essex has changed, I recognise the roads but little else.
