I seem to remember Putin using a very similar if not the same image a few years ago when wanting to portray a downtrodden English town.

As a kid, we had a family caravan which was sited in St Osyth (about a mile up the beach from Jaywick).
It was an escape from east London at weekends and school holidays. People used to holiday in Jaywick. The little chalets and bungalows were used like caravans and were kept beautifully. The area was not year round residential. You needed to go inland away from the beach or towards Clacton to find locals. I went back to St Osyth just under 2 years ago - in January - it was seriously shocking! Not only was it not closed down until March as it would have been a few years back, but the chalets on the Bel Air site and many of the caravans have satellite dishes on them and the bars and shops are open and busy at 11am. This is what's happened to all the holiday homes of Jaywick Sands. They are small, cheaply made and mostly wearing out. So they've been bought for next to nothing and rented out to poor people and chavs. We drove round Jaywick. I didn't want to get out of the car, It's horrible and depressing. But it didn't use to be like this. It's all gone a bit like the worst of America. Class 1. Rich people, nice areas, plenty money, big houses, space. Class 2. Poor people, nasty areas, no money, hovels and tenements or caravans, no space The difference has grown exponentially over the last 40 years or so as the wage rises in percentages have meant a sort of compound interest. The use of drugs probably hasn't helped. Now there is an un underclass and a good bit of it lives in Jaywick. |

Was attempt to Clear London of a Few undesireables who had no Housing, they were shipped out to Coast ,By undesirable I mean poor people , What should have been Done was to Offer old People who were on their Own, a Place By the Sea and turn the area into a Retirement Village ,and House people who needed Council in their council Houses ,A win Win Situation and only for people who wanted to go , there are Many elderley people in London on their own ...
I believe there was actually an Attempt to Remove poor to working Class people from London , The average working class person could hardly afford to Live there , But they ran into a Problem ,there were certain People who were going no where , and they Could hardly be Seen to be Ethnic Cleansing Could They ? The poor White working class an easy target ,but then the wheels fell off when thinking of moving other People ![]() |
