And still, nobody has explained why indigenous whites don't commit a third of the crime in the multicultural haven of Newham. Yomomma will now answer this. |

Here try and understand this: There is no such thing as a crime gene.
There's probably a hundred reasons for the answer and I'm no expert. Plenty of whites commit crime aswell! |

I have the answer for you cmat, most of the 33% of indigenous whites that live in newham are most probably elderly....

Why have a go at me then? None of these crimes are made up, they are all real. 100 reasons, but you can't give me one. You're not so smart after all, are you? Run along back to the football forum, or wherever you came from. |

What a surprise. |

Newham certainly does seem to produce more than its fair share of bigots.

Still no list of Newham bigots???

Steve Marriot - singer/musician Ronnie Lane - singer /musician Lennox Lewis - boxer Nigel Benn - boxer Martin Peters - footballer Bert Weedon - guitarist Steve Harris - founder of Iron Maiden Tony Banks - Labour MP Sol Campbell - footballer Gerard Manley Hopkins - poet Honor Blackman - actress Tony Jarret - Olympic athlete Reg Varney - actor Idris Elba- actor Terence Stamp - actor Brian Forbes - screenwriter Vera Lynn - singer Christine Ohurougo - forgetful athlete Christian Digby - telly presenter |

Good to see the op being so positive about Newham for a change.
Was it not you who wrote that it was not surprising that the 2 British men recently jailed for a terrorist plot came from Newham? |
|
By:
Yes, but British was typed as 'British' - they were asians.
Now, where's the list of bigots from Newham? You and the other Lloyds Banker seen to be stuck on it? |

I'm becoming increasingly confused by this thread...and I didn't understand it from the start!
 It started off with a question about a virtually unknown local newspaper. I could be wrong, but it's certainly unknown to ME. Then followed a whole series of links to this local paper which, I would assume, were ignored by most readers and definitely by myself. So, not surprisingly, I guessed that the thread was something to do with the ethnic minority population of Newham, a plaice in London. Anyway, things seem to follow the usual wandering path until Wesdaq mentioned the word 'bigot'. This triggered a reaction from CMAT. So, then follows the difficult questions like "How many post on here?" or "How many do you know?". Rather foolishly, I suggested that he could try Google for possible info and this, somehow, allied me to naughty Wesdaq (  ). Not to worry, I just got on with it and Googled for myself 'How many bigots in Newham?'. The results were quite interesting...until I realised that the references to bigots all came from The Newham Recorder. So, I started off confused and I am now even more confused about the whole gist of this thread. Is it to discuss the views of The Newham Recorder with regard to racist values or is it a 'name-and-shame' exercise in 'Spot the Bigot'.Well spotted. But it's a joke. |

CMAT.
Which will come first I wonder… this alleged list of bigots from Newham, or the fierce condemnation of the Somalian Racist Rapists we await breathlessly on the 'Nick Griffin' thread. Nearly 36 hours and counting there. Too close to call I suspect, but I've had 5 quid on that they'll come at around the same time that Townshend finally publishes the book for which he was "researching" online. Or possibly around the same time that Samuel Allerlice brings his lawsuits against "Panorama". Around 8 years in development so far. |

So, not surprisingly, I guessed that the thread was something to do with the ethnic minority population of Newham, a plaice in London. Fishy statement. The blacks and asians are most definitely NOT the minority in the multicultural borough of Newham. You should read these threads more closely if you want to comment. The INDIGENOUS WHITE MINORITY are outnumbered by a ratio of at least 2 to 1 in Newham. Up until the last census, this was the ONLY London Borough to have that type of population. I would imagine that the Borough of Tower Hamlets is the same now, and as you have no idea of what's where in London, I'll let you know Tower Hamlets borders Newham to the west. And Barking, which was a 'nice place' that people aspired to move to from Newham in the 1960s, borders Newham to the east. Indigenous white from Newham don't move to Barking any more. They go further out. |

I must confess that my 'ethnic minority' description was badly worded and I can see how it was taken to indicate the Newham population specifically. It was actually intended to mean that part of the ethnic minority population which resides in Newham. But it was a bit ambiguous on my part. For that, I apologise.
I DO try to read things properly but I tend to just sort of skim through some topics...lack of interest, I suppose. But it's there, so you read it. I'm guessing that I won't be on my own in that respect. To be honest, I've never even heard of, or imagined, a devoted 'crime and courts' page. (Or whatever you called it). |

I am sure you will correct me Taxi as you should know better than me but I always thought Nigel Benn was from Ilford.

I may stand corrected.
I think he was born in llford (which joins Newham at Newham's Manor Park border) but from a young age he lived in East Ham. |

To be honest, I've never even heard of, or imagined, a devoted 'crime and courts' page. (Or whatever you called it). Look at the 'Newham Recorder News' website. On the red bar, run your mouse over 'News' and it comes up on a drop down menu. If they didn't report any crime and took out the 'houses for sale' pages, the real paper would be a lot thinner. As I said in my very long post on the politics forum. The govt don't like spending money in Newham. Apart from the overcrowding and shortage of council housing, Newham has the highest risk of getting evicted with 1 in 36 private tenants likely to be evicted because of rents being too high. Barking is next with 1 in 38, then Haringey with 1 in 42. Perhaps, if families get evicted, they can go and live just outside Bicester, in Cleggy's new town. On the other hand, they may get the same reception as the plan to put Newham's population overspill into cheaper housing in Stoke last year. Narrowing it down to two words, instead of reams of paper detailing why not, 'fack off' would have sufficed. Still, £30 million on a new roof for the Olympic Park Stadium (which is in Newham) will no doubt cheer everybody up. . http://www.newhamrecorder.co.uk/news/stadium_roof_starts_to_take_shape_in_queen_elizabeth_olympic_park_1_3869364 |

You really have to question the intelligence and/or the sanity of this op.
From my innocuous comment "Newham certainly does seem to produce more than its fair share of bigots" he goes into meltdown!! He produces a list of famous people who were born in his beloved Newham, asks for lists of bigots, and rants about the last census. What this utter cretin does not seem to grasp is that "bigot" may also refer to asians in his beloved Newham, British or otherwise. |
