My wife and I used to visit Ilford quite often, we bought furniture at Harrison Gibson and shopped at Marks and Spencers, we hadn't been for a few years until a month ago, but what a shock, we had the feeling that there were a thousand eyes on us and that we really shouldn't be there, we were no longer in a part of the UK, more like a cross between Islamabad and Lagos, we will definitely not be making a return visit !
They're going after the North East now because it was about a 97% white population up until a few years ago the highest in the country, but they're obviously determined to change that. Wales which still has a 93% white population will be their next target, this won't stop until the whole country has had the full multicultural treatment making the indigenous people a minority in their own ancestral homeland within 2 to 3 decades, apart from the leafy affluent areas and villages where the elites live of course they'll remain untouched.
@@Occident. Way aye, Geordie! I was born in Gateshead but my family left after a few years to go down south. Never remember a single non-white from those early days. Each time I've been up there since the toon's become more enriched. A few years ago it was about a quarter non-white in the city centre. Even way up there England's becoming multi-culti. My Geordie ancestors would weep to see Newcastle now.
I miss the old England. I - *REALLY* - do. 😢 Speaking with and visiting neighbours every day, helping others and having mutual reciprocation without expectation, unspoken trust between members of society without a single word being spoken to confirm it... Just those small things add up. And the difference today is *marked.*
@@rayboish I am sure Our leaders fail to realise the anguish and stress of having our country stolen is doing to us. By the way I’m only three years older than yourself at 69 A male. Not ashamed to say I have cried. Reading the comments in this section I think it’s fair to say none of us are racist but we are devastated and worst of all destroyed.
The majority of families were still escaping poverty or had just escaped poverty. Most of our (grand)fathers and (grand)mothers still did hard labour. My great grandmother raised five children and worked fulltime in a factory. My grandfather worked as a shoemaker and had to walk to a different village to work because his bike was taken during WW2 and he couldn't afford another one for years. I am gen X but even I remember classmates who lost their fathers because of black lungs from working in the mines. What I am saying is that in a time we finally could live in some peace and comfort the mass migration started. We never had a chance to experience it. I am Dutch myself, but I think it is quite similar to the experience of most of the British. It's really sad when you think about it.
Oh yes Black lung. I remember hearing about a lot of men on Tyneside dying of that in the 1960s. X Pitmen obviously. Then Asbestosis became a big killer on Tyneside from the 60s till the present day. Mostly x ship yard workers, but also x building industry workers too. Been sweating on the top line myself worrying I might develop it after 40 years on building sites. Yes "White privilege" is a hell of a thing.
I'm from Leytonstone. As a Child and early Teenager ( 1970s ) I frequently went with my Parents to Ilford Shopping. Compared to Walthamstow I found it quite posh. Years later I returned, on more than one occasion, and found it had deteriorated beyond expectations. Hardly any English, extremely dirty streets and a general air of decay, violence and vandalism. It certainly featured frequently in the local Guardian with news of stabbings, assaults, rapes and general violence. Of course the vast majority of names involved were not English as were the majority of faces in the Shopping Centre. I also regret to say that the once lively, East London atmosphere of Walthamstow Market has likewise deteriorated due to exactly the same reasons. For civilised Shopping now it appears that Woodford, Chigwell and Snaresbrook are the best options. Mainly English with a significant Jewish population. Clean streets, polite people and Stab Vests totally unnecessary.
I’m from Walthamstow. I grew up there. Went to Woodside primary school, Warwick girls, then the Green school (Walthamstow school for girls) and worked down the High St. I even lived for a while in Leyton. Just past the train station. I haven’t been back for decades. I can’t. It makes me sad. Our family moved out of London in 1994, and now I live in Australia, as hubby is an Aussie. I often go onto Google earth to see what has changed. I see the big beautiful library in wood st has been torn down. Every road is one way. I’m gutted, absolutely gutted that my home has be ruined.
I was born in Seven Kings in 1964. We moved to Norfolk in ‘69. I had 3 relations in Mawney Close Romford, and watched it go from tidy gardens and painted polished doorsteps and a lovely park to play in as kids, to a run down dump as numerous Asian families moved in. Glad we got out.
1977. I am 17, Danish and on school trip to London. Weather fantastic, very few “strange” people. Everything English and normal. We went everywhere you were supposed to. 😃 Cutty Sark, Dirty Pub, and so on. It was a joyfull, interesting time. Queen, Slade, BTO, David Bowie, Golden Earring, . Would not touch London with a 100.00.00 foot pole now.
In the late 70s I used to spend my school holidays with an aunt in Forest Gate. Even back then, there was quite a bit of cultural enrichment in the area. Once while cycling on Upton Lane my elder brother was punched in the face by a fellow of Afro-Caribbean heritage who then nicked his bike and rode off with it. We were quite shocked as we had never been confronted by crime before. Still, I have fond memories of that time, I was a lot younger then and oblivious to the dangers posed by multiculturalism. I had my first pint in a pub called the Spotted Dog. I would love to go back there but it has probably changed beyond recognition.
I remember Ilford in the 60s, Simon. I came down from the North and I was in digs in a family home in Bethel Avenue, just adjacent to Valentines Park as I recall. It pains me to hear you talk about what was then a very pleasant town in which to live. It seems to have moved from the first world into the third world during the period of my adulthood.
Every area has its time .In the nineties Ilford was the place to be ,it has a good shopping center and clean streets.Now it’s a Labour Borough and the Asians now run the local borough the place has declined.Now Walthamstow is the up and coming place .
@@fjtpersian6566Yes, but to say it has declined is something of an understatement, don't you think? When I was there I felt no fear whatsoever to walk around the streets after dark. With the murder rate now I would be very wary. The whole concept of a 'murder rate' for the town I remember would have been absurd.
Seven Kings was where I moved to live in 1967, my new employer was based at Chadwell Heath, and the flat at number 73 was perfect for a newly wed country boy in his first job after graduation as an Engineer. I enjoyed the amenities of the local cinemas, Gants Hill was great, and Ilford was a wonderful place for restaurants, pubs, and socialising. Peaceful atmosphere and all the houses were painted white, or reddish coloured bricks. I looked on Google maps recently to stroll up Norfolk Road, and found the houses painted rainbow colours, the gardens have become carparks, and the place looks sinister in some way. Whatever Happened?
When I was younger ,Ilford was a nice place ,the only down market place was South Ilford where the Asians live .But you still have Wanstead and Woodford .
Do you remember Mr Gage, a local business man, who owned an ironmongers in Ilford being murdered in Dewhurst butchers in Seven Kings in the early 70's?
My brother lives in Ilford, when I go to see him playing spot the white man isn't half so much fun these days because he's the only one around for miles.
All done in the interests of our financial and banking system that loves millions of cheap workers and future consumers. Our ancestral homeland has been reduced to an economic zone open to the World.
Hi Simon,I grew up and lived near Redbridge station for many years and still live close by,the only nice thing about Ilford is the library and Valentines Park,i also remember a couple of years actually sitting at he traffic lights facing Bodgers department store and witnessing a knife/machete fight between about 5 or six young black guys in broad daylight around 2pm,absolutely awful to see!
King is a real piece of work and too woke even for many on the left. He'd only write a book praising multi-culti and any Muslims. Ironically, he'd be considered haram by Islamists.
Despite all this, the British dont take any action. This has happened before after the Norman conquest. The English outnumbered the invaders over 100 to 1, but offered little resistance. Norman historian Ordericus Vitalis depicts the English as only interested in feasting and drinking, caring nothing of their freedom. Two possible reasons for this are: No functiining native elite-they had been corrupted No peasantry revolts if their bellies and barns are full. History repeating itself.
Yet the Normans were Racially identical. Lot of bast*rds tho. Their descendents still make up a high percentage of the elites tho? Simons favourite bunch the rest! Shower of sh*te the lot!
The English continued to fight back for hundreds of years, the Castle walls and moats were not there for decoration and the Nobility had to be very careful when out hunting because of the 'green men'. Hereward the Wake led the resistance around Ely, and William had to put down revolts in the north that led to the 'Harrying'. There was also genocide in the rest of the control as they struggled to keep control, you only have to look at the number of places recorded as having been laid waste after the Conquest, and the difference between the number of taxpayers in various towns. Ipswich was a third smaller by 1086, and the recorded final words of William the Bastard on his deathbed are very telling. Even as late as 1381, there were clear differences between 'them and us' and the populance that stood up at the time of the Great Revolt came within a whisker of righting the wrongs... Now of course that rebellious streak has been firmly crushed the centuries. Recent signs of dissent, merely even posting the wrong thing on the internet will get you imprisoned for years...With the resources the government directs to monitoring us all, folk are really going to be up against it today.
It's all of them, the sheer amount of resources the occupying government has put towards this is unfathomable, every inch of this country has been affected
I've a lady friend originally from Newcastle living in London, in a very "enriched area". She told me recently she bought a hard up looking White man sitting in a door way, a sandwich. His reply was....."jeez your English". He was from Manchester and thanked her.
I see that Yousaf Humza has got his in laws back from Gaza. I note that over 80%, of muslims say that they are muslims first and British second except when tbey get caught up in their endless tribal and religious wars when visiting their homelands. Then suddenly they are British and want the British government to get them back here for free. Perhaps Simon could do a video on this phenomenon
Quite a few years ago, I was at the Passmore Edwards museum in Stratford, sorting through photographs of Valentines Park taken around the time of its opening. It looked positively idyllic. I'm not sure I'd want to go there now.
Use to go there in the late 60s with my mum and feed the red squirrels . They sadly died off because of an invasive species. Theses times it sound very similar with the population
We moved up the property ladder from East Ham to Ilford (Canterbury Ave) a posh address just off the Drive. Wow! we had now arrived. That was in 1966. However, the change started in or around 1980. We left in 1983 and were glad we did. That was 40 years ago. I wonder what a stroll down to the park and then onto Ilford High Road would be like now? A different country maybe.
My grandmother was born on the Isle of Dogs in 1890 and my mother in East Ham in 1923. We moved out of London to the Home Counties in 1957 and never looked back.
Well it's spreading north. MY little Derbyshire Town now has two dozen Africans wandering around (some on weed). I don't like it - and if that makes me a 'racist' so be it.

Hello Neighbour 👋 I grew up in East Ham and moved to Ilford (just opposite the station behind what was C&A (Clement and Augustine) which I believe is now a shopping mall) until I moved out to Romford. My sister also moved to Ilford and then bought a house in Seven Kings. As you rightly say, walking around those streets in the evening was not a real worry, except after closing when you might be noticed by some drunks. The Ilford Palais and The Kings pub and The Cranny (Cranbrook pub) were my stomping ground and apart from some man strangling his own father in about 1971, I can't really remember any dire violence during my happy youth. I have not returned to London for a good few years, which is sadly missed, but I shall never return now ... 😢😢
I used to get my school uniform and shop with my parent's in Bodgers . opposite the station. Many happy memorys playing football in valentine's park as a youngster. As an adult i used to drive the 167,150 and 123 bus that terminated at ilford , i used work in a English butchers in ilford lane and used to drink in Haverlocks and went to the grab a granny on mondays at avenue nightclub before it was pulled down. When i lived in neighbouring Barking there was a few pakastani supermarkets in ilford lane , pretty handy for a cheap sack of basmati rice. I think i can say i know or knew the town quite well. In 2023 If you removed the red buses and british number plates from cars you might be mistaken you was in Pakastans capital. Just how did this happen within under 30 years ?
I was born in Ilford in the early 60's. It was a great childhood and I moved away aged 9. Yes, the place is an alien land now and frankly a shit hole. About 10 years ago I walked through the Exchange shopping mall with my then 16 year old daughter and was conscious of many Eastern European men staring lasciviously at her literally everywhere we went.
It's happening EVERYWHERE in the UK now - but STILL millions of indigenous voters will ask for more Enrichment by voting Labour/Conservative/Lib Dem.@@Occident.
Most of the comments here are pure nostalgia & it's nice. When you think how things have changed for the worst & the reality our children & grandchildren will have to live through in this country it really is frightening & horrendous. There's no community, just dog eat dog. Multiculturalism is a slow poison & Tony Blair is the man who brought it here without asking the people. Multi millionaire will sleep well tonight but not give a damn!
I worked for BR in Ley Street. The only violent incident I saw was between a black man and an Indian, after the black guy had spent weeks taunting him about Idi Amin. The same thing at Stratford. Four black guys drove in a car and sought out a random Indian guy and started beating him up. Then a large group of Indian people turned up and set upon the four black guys. We were young engineers waiting for our college day to start and looked on in sheer amazement. Interestingly, the technical part of our college was 100% white students. The non technical part was wholly non white. Interacial violence was practiced by most groups except the whites. As a lad from outside London I was staggered to find that the Indians and Pakistanis hated each other, as did the Greeks and Turks, whilst the Afro Caribbeans seemingly hated both Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis. When I pass through Ilford now it has clearly become third world in its character. It is worst to the west, in Manor Park and Forest Gate. Stratford seems to be more African in character and doesn't feel quite as threatening. None of these places have much resemblance to the dull, run down, but friendly areas I knew in the 1970s and 80s.
I was born in forest gate( a couple of miles up the Romford rd for those who don't know) in 1968, moved to Bristol in 1975 thank god! Missed being near my beloved west ham but after continuously visiting family down there over the years it was the best thing my parents did❤
I worked in Ilford in the early 80's at "Britannia Records" factory as an Electrician (true). Now 43 years later, still living in Battersea, seems like I feel new neighbours hate me too bcoz of my class.
Lived a total of ten years in lford and Seven Kings from 1982. Predominantly white when l moved there but was rapidly changing. The change to a third world squalid hole is now complete. The story of so much of London and other big cities.
@@ListenUp-py1qm Your comments are about as impressive as the number of subscribers to your channel. Maybe you should relocate to Ilford and hand out a few flyers.
Even as a child I remember thinking about the rise in unusual crimes, whichId never heard of before Afro_Caribbean immigration. And it was always an Afro-Caribbean perpertrator
I've seen the claim made by one of Simon's detractors that stabbings is a youth issue. However, I bet you could check the ages of these people involved via the internet and I'm going to guess they are grown men.
Yes, 34 going on 14... it ought to be standard procedure to do all the age-tests to determine scientifically their true age, especially before giving them places in schools with our daughters.
None of the examples quoted in the video were minors at the time of reporting for legal reasons. Even if there is a skew towards younger men (they almost all are male) the age profile of newcomers and their descendants reflects this. I need not comment on the relative fecundity of sections of our population.

You forgot to mention Farooq Shah who stabbed Mariana Popa, a street walker in Ilford Lane in 2014.

Oh lord of diversity- how good it is that incompetence, greed,criminality, venality, stupidity, a lack of compashion, consideration and the great division has indeed strengthened us all. How I rejoiced to hear of all these great civic moments that mobile enrichment units have bestowed upon us. If only we had even more...
@@letsdiscussitoversometea8479 Remember that when Orwell wrote it in the late 40s Britain was a 99.9% white country (the 1951 Census confirms this) so he never envisaged a Britain of 1984 being an overcrowded multi-ethnic hell in his wildest imaginings. Ironically the 'enrichment' was promoted by his fellow middle-class lefties in subsequent generations .
I was in Ilford last Wednesday, to meet up with my sister, and brother. I walked from the Station to Havelock Street, down the High Road, it was an eye opener for sure.. In the 60s it was considered quite upmarket, with shops like Bodgers, Harrison Gibson, Fairheads etc.. Sadly it no longer has that feel to it l'm afraid..
I grew up there too. I think we went to the same Primary School, albeit at different times. Seven Kings and Goodmayes are awful now. My School friends were English, second generation Polish and Sikh. There were plenty of Irish, too. Go back there now and it's like gee had ee central. Green Lane houses knocked together as "cultural centres" or Islamic "schools", and I gather a couple if years back there was a full-on islamic march from Goodmayes to at least Seven Kings... Some of the restaurants no longer sell alcohol. Ilford Lane is where some of the London bombers went to the (halal friendly) gym. To say the place has fallen would be a gross understatement. Total s/hole. That's Labour run Redbridge council for you.
It's happening here in Australia too, I had to witness my town go from 100% white to probably about 70% in the last twenty years. And yes, It was the same here twenty years ago as you said it was there. Plenty of punch ups & poverty, but not a murder for the twenty years I lived there and no violent crime. Now it's a complete shithole.
It's the same whenever there is a large immigrant population which is incapable or unwilling to assimilate. There was serious knife incident in my street just a few days ago. (Needless to say the suspects were of the ethnicity which might be expected).
I was a kid about 11 years old in the 60s,my nan lived in Spencer Road Seven kings,i remember staying the night there in summer going to sleep with the sound of the railroad shunting yard,i left the U.K in the 70s but still remember with fondness these past forgotten days....
I was born in King George's Hospital Newbury Park and lived the first 23 years of my life in Lambourne Road Seven Kings. I attended South Park School and the 5th Seven Kings Cub Scout group at the Methodist Church in Seven Kings Road. As kids we use to play on a piece of waste land adjacent to Seven Kings station known locally as the Hills! So you could I know the area quite well! A few years ago I took my now late mother for a trip down memory lane and visited our old house and also to South Park which was also our favourite place to spend time and play with friends! We just could not believe the run down appearance of our old house! Where once all the houses had well tended front garden most were paved over for car parking. But general state of the place was very depressing! South Park itself was also a shadow of its former glory. The tea rooms and shop having burnt down many years ago and cricket pavilion boarded up. The entire park was full of rubbish and rats were running around in plain sight. We left there very sad indeed never to return!
grew up in buckhurst hill not far away a 167 bus took you to ilford ,bodgers ! a night out at tiffanys , the lacy lady ,oscars newbury park or room at the top all stress free ,same applied to stratford or bethnal green great pubs in the late 70/s early 80/s for the soul/funk music , sound like no go areas now and from what iv heard my old stomping ground loughton /debden broadway are the same , a night out in loughton was a great time royal standard /holly bush /crown /gardners arms / cottage loaf/carpenters arms etc. then chips in the chariot ,burger stall on the broadway or a nice greasy donar from the kebab house .....such a shame those times are gone when you could go out at night , cant think why it all went wrong !
I remember Ilford and Seven Kings in the fifties as My family moved from Somerset to Newbury Park and went to William Torbitt school and later used to go to Ilford Palais every week. There was never violence apart from one murder in Barking where a boy called Alan Johnson from Canning Town was murder at a teen dance,there was no immigration in those days,we have certainly Imported much from other parts of the world, I now in my later years live in Barnes SW London where things are different,but I have Fond memory’s of Newbury Park /Ilford Love your challenge by the way.
Room at the Top, later known as Magnums, William the Conqueror pub (Manor Park) Ilford Palais, General Havelock, Oscars, Red Lion (mainstreet) Lords (next to Valentines park) and a final shout out to the Shannon Centre and Kings niteclub in Seven Kings, good times.They were my stomping grounds from early 80s to late 90s. I drank in Stratford and Barking too but Ilford was always my favorite. Ilford changed...and its sad. I moved to the East Coast in 98.
I was born in Ilford & we as a family lived between Ilford and barkingside, I re visited the area a couple of years ago, & all I could compare it with now is one giant 3rd world TOILET
Old archive films of London and other major cities from the 1960's can be viewed on YT and they are unrecognisable to now. Sadly, things today have changed not for the better. Not only that, what else gets me in order to be more 'diverse,' and 'inclusive' to a group of people who arrive in the UK and are in general anti-British, yet, want to live on taxpayers money without lifting a finger and show contempt and ingratitude is we have to change our customs and traditions to appease them, one example being Christmas.
Ah, The Shannon club, Seven kings, good days! I remember The Exchange being opened, very exciting times. My Dad is still living near Ilford lane, massive dump!!!!
@HistoryDebunkedsimonwebb Loads of Irish in the area back in the day. Clarke Gable's last film!? Wow, going back there. I miss snooker clubs too, Wanstead was my club, that was a cinema once as well..
I spent many summers in Ilford as a young child in the late 50’s and early 60’s. It was so quite. My grandparents lived immediately adjacent to the park. I never once saw any persons of color. Not a single one.
My grandmother lived in Chester Rd Seven Kings. As a child in mid 60s, we all webt out ybescirted to tge local park 1or 2 streets away. My parents never had any issues with letting us walk all over & go to the park by ourselves for hours. I was in that general area to scatter my parents ashes where they were married. I was horrified at what it had become. Having lived, visited & worked in 3rd world countries, I noted the entire area had been reduced to 3rd world living conditions including gangs roaming around, broken down cars, rubbish everywhere with safety non existent! I no longer have to watch the news or documentaries to be informed what places and the conditions are like in the 3rd world. They are right here in UK, and getting worse.

The majority of families were still escaping poverty or had just escaped poverty. Most of our (grand)fathers and (grand)mothers still did hard labour. My great grandmother raised five children and worked fulltime in a factory. My grandfather worked as a shoemaker and had to walk to a different village to work because his bike was taken during WW2 and he couldn't afford another one for years. I am gen X but even I remember classmates who lost their fathers because of black lungs from working in the mines. What I am saying is that in a time we finally could live in some peace and comfort the mass migration started. We never had a chance to experience it. I am Dutch myself, but I think it is quite similar to the experience of most of the British. It's really sad when you think about it.

Oh yes Black lung. I remember hearing about a lot of men on Tyneside dying of that in the 1960s. X Pitmen obviously. Then Asbestosis became a big killer on Tyneside from the 60s till the present day. Mostly x ship yard workers, but also x building industry workers too. Been sweating on the top line myself worrying I might develop it after 40 years on building sites.

I'm from Leytonstone. As a Child and early Teenager ( 1970s ) I frequently went with my Parents to Ilford Shopping. Compared to Walthamstow I found it quite posh. Years later I returned, on more than one occasion, and found it had deteriorated beyond expectations. Hardly any English, extremely dirty streets and a general air of decay, violence and vandalism. It certainly featured frequently in the local Guardian with news of stabbings, assaults, rapes and general violence. Of course the vast majority of names involved were not English as were the majority of faces in the Shopping Centre. I also regret to say that the once lively, East London atmosphere of Walthamstow Market has likewise deteriorated due to exactly the same reasons. For civilised Shopping now it appears that Woodford, Chigwell and Snaresbrook are the best options. Mainly English with a significant Jewish population. Clean streets, polite people and Stab Vests totally unnecessary.
Walthamstow now is going upmarket now especially the Village .
I’m from Walthamstow. I grew up there. Went to Woodside primary school, Warwick girls, then the Green school (Walthamstow school for girls) and worked down the High St. I even lived for a while in Leyton. Just past the train station. I haven’t been back for decades. I can’t. It makes me sad. Our family moved out of London in 1994, and now I live in Australia, as hubby is an Aussie. I often go onto Google earth to see what has changed. I see the big beautiful library in wood st has been torn down. Every road is one way. I’m gutted, absolutely gutted that my home has be ruined.

I was born in Seven Kings in 1964. We moved to Norfolk in ‘69. I had 3 relations in Mawney Close Romford, and watched it go from tidy gardens and painted polished doorsteps and a lovely park to play in as kids, to a run down dump as numerous Asian families moved in. Glad we got out.

In the late 70s I used to spend my school holidays with an aunt in Forest Gate. Even back then, there was quite a bit of cultural enrichment in the area. Once while cycling on Upton Lane my elder brother was punched in the face by a fellow of Afro-Caribbean heritage who then nicked his bike and rode off with it. We were quite shocked as we had never been confronted by crime before. Still, I have fond memories of that time, I was a lot younger then and oblivious to the dangers posed by multiculturalism. I had my first pint in a pub called the Spotted Dog. I would love to go back there but it has probably changed beyond recognition.
The Spotted Dog will probably be a Mosque now mate.

I remember Ilford in the 60s, Simon. I came down from the North and I was in digs in a family home in Bethel Avenue, just adjacent to Valentines Park as I recall. It pains me to hear you talk about what was then a very pleasant town in which to live. It seems to have moved from the first world into the third world during the period of my adulthood.
Most of us have.

Seven Kings was where I moved to live in 1967, my new employer was based at Chadwell Heath, and the flat at number 73 was perfect for a newly wed country boy in his first job after graduation as an Engineer. I enjoyed the amenities of the local cinemas, Gants Hill was great, and Ilford was a wonderful place for restaurants, pubs, and socialising. Peaceful atmosphere and all the houses were painted white, or reddish coloured bricks. I looked on Google maps recently to stroll up Norfolk Road, and found the houses painted rainbow colours, the gardens have become carparks, and the place looks sinister in some way. Whatever Happened?
I think it's called MULTI something ISM
You never voted Nationalist. That's what happened!
When I was younger ,Ilford was a nice place ,the only down market place was South Ilford where the Asians live .But you still have Wanstead and Woodford .

Despite all this, the British dont take any action. This has happened before after the Norman conquest. The English outnumbered the invaders over 100 to 1, but offered little resistance. Norman historian Ordericus Vitalis depicts the English as only interested in feasting and drinking, caring nothing of their freedom.
Two possible reasons for this are:
No functiining native elite-they had been corrupted
No peasantry revolts if their bellies and barns are full.
History repeating itself.
And football
There is certainly a vast difference between those Normans and the present day hordes of layabout incomers.
Yet the Normans were Racially identical. Lot of bast*rds tho. Their descendents still make up a high percentage of the elites tho? Simons favourite bunch the rest! Shower of sh*te the lot!
The English continued to fight back for hundreds of years, the Castle walls and moats were not there for decoration and the Nobility had to be very careful when out hunting because of the 'green men'. Hereward the Wake led the resistance around Ely, and William had to put down revolts in the north that led to the 'Harrying'. There was also genocide in the rest of the control as they struggled to keep control, you only have to look at the number of places recorded as having been laid waste after the Conquest, and the difference between the number of taxpayers in various towns. Ipswich was a third smaller by 1086, and the recorded final words of William the Bastard on his deathbed are very telling. Even as late as 1381, there were clear differences between 'them and us' and the populance that stood up at the time of the Great Revolt came within a whisker of righting the wrongs...
Now of course that rebellious streak has been firmly crushed the centuries. Recent signs of dissent, merely even posting the wrong thing on the internet will get you imprisoned for years...With the resources the government directs to monitoring us all, folk are really going to be up against it today.

We moved up the property ladder from East Ham to Ilford (Canterbury Ave) a posh address just off the Drive. Wow! we had now arrived. That was in 1966. However, the change started in or around 1980.

Hello Neighbour 👋
I grew up in East Ham and moved to Ilford (just opposite the station behind what was C&A (Clement and Augustine) which I believe is now a shopping mall) until I moved out to Romford. My sister also moved to Ilford and then bought a house in Seven Kings. As you rightly say, walking around those streets in the evening was not a real worry, except after closing when you might be noticed by some drunks. The Ilford Palais and The Kings pub and The Cranny (Cranbrook pub) were my stomping ground and apart from some man strangling his own father in about 1971, I can't really remember any dire violence during my happy youth. I have not returned to London for a good few years, which is sadly missed, but I shall never return now ... 😢😢
I used to get my school uniform and shop with my parent's in Bodgers .
opposite the station.
Many happy memorys playing football in valentine's park as a youngster.
As an adult i used to drive the 167,150 and 123 bus that terminated at ilford , i used work in a English butchers in ilford lane and used to drink in Haverlocks and went to the grab a granny on mondays at avenue nightclub before it was pulled down.
When i lived in neighbouring Barking there was a few pakastani supermarkets in ilford lane , pretty handy for a cheap sack of basmati rice.
I think i can say i know or knew the town quite well.
In 2023
If you removed the red buses and british number plates from cars you might be mistaken you was in Pakastans capital.
Just how did this happen within under 30 years ?

I was born in Ilford in the early 60's. It was a great childhood and I moved away aged 9. Yes, the place is an alien land now and frankly a shit hole. About 10 years ago I walked through the Exchange shopping mall with my then 16 year old daughter and was conscious of many Eastern European men staring lasciviously at her literally everywhere we went.
Ditto with my 4 beautiful daughters. Hounded by foreign men, pestering them.

I worked for BR in Ley Street. The only violent incident I saw was between a black man and an Indian, after the black guy had spent weeks taunting him about Idi Amin. The same thing at Stratford. Four black guys drove in a car and sought out a random Indian guy and started beating him up. Then a large group of Indian people turned up and set upon the four black guys. We were young engineers waiting for our college day to start and looked on in sheer amazement. Interestingly, the technical part of our college was 100% white students. The non technical part was wholly non white.
Interacial violence was practiced by most groups except the whites.
As a lad from outside London I was staggered to find that the Indians and Pakistanis hated each other, as did the Greeks and Turks, whilst the Afro Caribbeans seemingly hated both Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis.
When I pass through Ilford now it has clearly become third world in its character. It is worst to the west, in Manor Park and Forest Gate.
Stratford seems to be more African in character and doesn't feel quite as threatening.
None of these places have much resemblance to the dull, run down, but friendly areas I knew in the 1970s and 80s.
The worst part of the borough are Eastham ,Plaistow, and Manor Park even I feel threatened their .
I was born in forest gate( a couple of miles up the Romford rd for those who don't know) in 1968, moved to Bristol in 1975 thank god! Missed being near my beloved west ham but after continuously visiting family down there over the years it was the best thing my parents did❤

it ought to be standard procedure to do all the age-tests to determine scientifically their true age, especially before giving them places in schools with our daughters.
None of the examples quoted in the video were minors at the time of reporting for legal reasons. Even if there is a skew towards younger men (they almost all are male) the age profile of newcomers and their descendants reflects this.

There were plenty of Irish, too. Go back there now and it's like gee had ee central. Green Lane houses knocked together as "cultural centres" or Islamic "schools", and I gather a couple if years back there was a full-on islamic march from Goodmayes to at least Seven Kings... Some of the restaurants no longer sell alcohol. Ilford Lane is where some of the London bombers went to the (halal friendly) gym. To say the place has fallen would be a gross understatement. Total s/hole. That's Labour run Redbridge council for you.
It's happening here in Australia too, I had to witness my town go from 100% white to probably about 70% in the last twenty years. And yes, It was the same here twenty years ago as you said it was there. Plenty of punch ups & poverty, but not a murder for the twenty years I lived there and no violent crime. Now it's a complete shithole.

I was born in King George's Hospital Newbury Park and lived the first 23 years of my life in Lambourne Road Seven Kings. I attended South Park School and the 5th Seven Kings Cub Scout group at the Methodist Church in Seven Kings Road. As kids we use to play on a piece of waste land adjacent to Seven Kings station known locally as the Hills! So you could I know the area quite well! A few years ago I took my now late mother for a trip down memory lane and visited our old house and also to South Park which was also our favourite place to spend time and play with friends! We just could not believe the run down appearance of our old house! Where once all the houses had well tended front garden most were paved over for car parking. But general state of the place was very depressing! South Park itself was also a shadow of its former glory. The tea rooms and shop having burnt down many years ago and cricket pavilion boarded up. The entire park was full of rubbish and rats were running around in plain sight. We left there very sad indeed never to return!

I was born in Ilford & we as a family lived between Ilford and barkingside, I re visited the area a couple of years ago, & all I could compare it with now is one giant 3rd world TOILET
Barbara Learner Spectre and her ilk approve tho, that's what counts! 👍
@gordie. Yes 🚽
Old archive films of London and other major cities from the 1960's can be viewed on YT and they are unrecognisable to now. Sadly, things today have changed not for the better. Not only that, what else gets me in order to be more 'diverse,' and 'inclusive' to a group of people who arrive in the UK and are in general anti-British, yet, want to live on taxpayers money without lifting a finger and show contempt and ingratitude is we have to change our customs and traditions to appease them, one example being Christmas.
@@ListenUp-py1qmno they don’t. They have six or seven children and they live on benefits and work in the black market.
@@ListenUp-py1qmEven if that were true It wouldn't make them welcome.
Anymore than someone giving me £20 a week to use my kitchen as a toilet.
@@ListenUp-py1qm ain't welcome where, by who?
The Black Hole of Calcutta, with added Dinghy Diver's.
Ah, The Shannon club, Seven kings, good days! I remember The Exchange being opened, very exciting times.
My Dad is still living near Ilford lane, massive dump!!!!
The Shannon! It was the Pullman when I was a kid. I saw Clark Gable's last film there; Run Silent, Run Deep.
@HistoryDebunkedsimonwebb Loads of Irish in the area back in the day. Clarke Gable's last film!? Wow, going back there. I miss snooker clubs too, Wanstead was my club, that was a cinema once as well..
@@HistoryDebunkedsimonwebbdid you ever go to the Beehive pub in Beehive Lane?
@@HistoryDebunkedsimonwebbClark Gable's last film was The Misfits.
Appropriately!
I spent many summers in Ilford as a young child in the late 50’s and early 60’s. It was so quite. My grandparents lived immediately adjacent to the park.
I never once saw any persons of color. Not a single one.
Awwwh poor thing
Allow me to answer that one Simon. NO. IT IS NOT A COINCIDENCE.
Afternoon all, is there a part of the country that has not changed so dramatically in this time?
Thanks to B liar.
But some places changed for better I guess… unfortunately this isn’t the case in East London
I understand that there is.
However, for the sake of preservation, I deem it unsuitable to publicize it.
Sorry. :)
@@letsdiscussitoversometea8479I on the same horse there.
Rockall, in the north Atlantic.
See? Your Government DETESTS YOU! Today the London Suburbs, tomorrow the Cotswolds and beyond (?!)?
My grandmother lived in Chester Rd Seven Kings. As a child in mid 60s, we all webt out ybescirted to tge local park 1or 2 streets away. My parents never had any issues with letting us walk all over & go to the park by ourselves for hours.
I was in that general area to scatter my parents ashes where they were married. I was horrified at what it had become.
Having lived, visited & worked in 3rd world countries, I noted the entire area had been reduced to 3rd world living conditions including gangs roaming around, broken down cars, rubbish everywhere with safety non existent!
I no longer have to watch the news or documentaries to be informed what places and the conditions are like in the 3rd world. They are right here in UK, and getting worse.
Imm*"rants is colo*ising Britain!
Lived outside the centre in 1976 for about four years. It was, indeed, dull and not all crime ridden.
@exsubmariner: Thank you for your sacrifices for this country. Unlike the traitors who caused irreparable damage for future generations.
Robbie Vincent's Jazz Funk Forty. Unmissable!
All the best, Tom
Lived in Seven Kings, worked in Stratford and drank a lot of beer in The Cauliflower 😂. Late 80s to 95. Great spot. Wouldn't walk down the street there now. Lost forever
Blair opened the floodgates .

Oy vey.

There are no coincidences. : If a cause can be defined, then there is no coincidence.
Lived there late 60s, used to see bobby Moore and Tina shopping numerous times ,good shopping , there 4years ago what a cess pit
Change is going on everywhere. When the most generous nation has gone - then what!
I moved out of Bromley for the same reason,shops with Arabic writing on the signs did it for me😡
Grew up next door in Manor Park. Used to go over Valentine's park for a day out. Only thing unusual were the squirrels 😪😪
Do you remember the 'Lacy Lady' down the Seven Kings high road Simon? Sadly vanished now.
Up the road barking even worse , Dagenham on its way .
Grew up in Ilford during the 80s. Place is now a complete dump.
The famous Victorian pub, The Cauliflower at Seven Kings is permanently closed. Wonder why, it used to be ever so busy in the 90s.
Demographics is destiny!
They call me Whiteman in East Ham.
A white bloke in East Ham?
Pull the other one 😄
I imagine the people of Malmo feel the same.
Gun crime capital of Europe. No-one's having a good time there..sadness in their faces.
Since the influx of Afghan 'refugees' to the city it's become a European centre for pederasty. Bacha bazi is a way of life back in Afghanistan.
Worked in seven kings for nearly 40 years, see it go from a mostly Irish community to how it is now. Even the Irish pub the Joker has been knocked down. Surrounding areas Dagenham and Rainham were i lived are now going the same way. Quite a few times had diversions and roads closed, while trying to get to work, due to incidents. Attraction of seven kings and Ilford is the larger than normal houses, which are Ideal for a certain demographic to have more than one family and generation living in
I live near Ilford I do not go there it’s like a different country! Horrible place now
I miss old Canada, old Australia old NZ. These places were invaded by colonists and have been drastically changed; and these colonists have been very very violent toward indigenous people of those lands. Terrible what has happened to those lands and their indigenous people!!!
BRITAIN everywhere has changed in last 30 years ,
I’m quite happy to say out loud,it’s terrible what has happened to our country in the last 30 …40 years
Immigration has ruined this country our culture has been destroyed
My great Auntie Norah lived in Brixton along time ago ,when I told her once I had been there she replied it was a lovely place until the blacks move in .she wasn’t racist but just making a point ….she was born in 1901 and lived for 99 years .she died from an infection in hospital ….when she was 97 a lovely black guy robbed her ………………..
