They probably have to. Word on the street is that their clientele has become rather arrogant lately.

Yip, my family go back for generations there. I have seen posters up saying this is an islamic area & their rules need to be followed. My husband (then boyfriend) was punched on the train at Whitechapel once for daring to sit with his arm around me. This attitude I completely blame on the left mollycoddling telling them they don't need to integrate because we'll bend over backwards to accommodate their needs. One such example while I was there was the council cancelling the annual bonfire night in Vicki park to host a Bangladeshi night instead, so that the large Bangladeshi community in the area doesn't feel excluded (never mind about excluding everyone else). Now I'm all for them having a Ba'night but why does a British tradition have to be taken away to do it, it sends the message that they are more important & creates division.
I don't generalize or tar everyone with the same brush, I take people on face value, I know a lot of really lovely people from all walks of life but at the same time I'm not going to deny there isn't a certain number of people in our society that have been able to act as they please & it's created voluntary segregation. This leaves the youth of these communities feeling lost as they don't feel British (for example, it's the same in many countries) & they go in search for something else or somewhere to belong (i.e. ISIS). Of course this is just my (
DM reading, right winged, racist, xenophobic, islamaphobic, any'obic) opinion so probably doesn't count

I do, it's been a long week.
Plus I'm not in a positive mood about immigrants at the moment after a Nigerian sat next to me on a bus yesterday. What initially started as a polite friendly conversation turned into him propositioning me to come back to his flat (repeatedly) then him trying to follow me home. I had to hide out in a shop for half an hour to wait for my husband to leave work early and pick me up.

Oh & if I was xenophobic I wouldn't have talked to him the first place. I would've carried on with my usual routine of listening to my music relishing my 20mins of me time a day after a stressful days work before going home to start the housework. Selfish xenophobic me though decided to talk to the man next to me who had only been in the country a few months & didn't really know anyone, what an absolute cow I must be to have considered his feelings.

You again, yep take away from that the light hearted opening sentence & ignore the seriousness of the rest. Must be lovely walking around with those blinkers on & seeing the world through rose tinted glasses.

Oh yeah 'alleged' nice , thanks for that. Well he was an immigrant & was using that fact as a newcomer to the country as a way to talk to me so hardly irrelevant to the story is it. I'm not saying all immigrants are like him nor that he was a sleaze because he is an immigrant.
