Britain’s Immigrant Litter Crisis
by Neil Bamforth
No doubt I will be accused of ‘bashing immigrants’ again. You know what? I am. Well, I am in this case anyway.
Britain has an increasing problem with litter in predominantly immigrant areas. Particularly when said areas are predominantly Asian or African. Other immigrants tend to be cleaner although single Polish men over here for work do tend to drop their lager cans all over the place.
Why do I make this accusation? Simple. I see it every day.
As a driving instructor I get around and one thing that sticks out like a sore thumb is this.
Ashford, near Heathrow Airport, is almost entirely white British middle, lower middle and hard working class. There are few immigrants of any nationality. The town is clean and tidy and litter is virtually non-existent.
Hayes, Southall, Heston and Cranford, all towns near Heathrow as well, are predominantly Asian and / or African immigrant in their demographics and they are perpetually filthy. Litter abounds.
No matter where you go in Britain, if you visit or pass through an area that is demographically primarily white British it is clean and tidy. The clear exceptions being areas predominantly white British that are also predominantly made up of people commonly known as ‘chavs’ in Britain.
‘Chavs’ tend to be poorly educated, frequently criminally orientated and generally couldn’t care less about anything or anybody. British ‘chav’ areas tend to be as filthy as the aforementioned immigrant areas – see, I’m acknowledging it isn’t just immigrants. It’s just mainly immigrants.
I have no idea why this is the case. I can only assume that it is in their nature to be filthy and not care about public hygiene.
The only exception I have found to this around here is a place called Ickenham. There is a private road with enormous houses. A fair number are owned by extremely wealthy Asians yet the area is clean and tidy. Are Asians less likely to litter when they are wealthy or do they just pay someone to pick it up? No idea. Odd though.
Areas in Britain with a particular density of Asian and / or African immigrants are filthy with rubbish. Areas with a particular density of white British – other than ‘chav’ areas – are generally clean and litter free.
I make that statement as it is a fact. I see it every day. It is also true in other parts of Britain I visit.
Oldham and Rochdale are filthy and predominantly Asian. High Crompton, where my mother lives, is all white middle class and clean as a whistle.
Two million pounds has been spent by my local council rejuvenating an area nearby. 90% of the shops are Asian owned in this area. Halfway through this rejuvenation the brand new paving stones and the large planters awaiting planting were full of rubbish. Most was clearly from the Asian shops.
African and Asian men seem to spit a lot. If you walk down Hayes High Street you can guarantee seeing at least half a dozen men spit on the pavement. You see Asian and African men and women just drop litter as they walk along. I’ve seen them do it as they walked past a litter bin!
Why? Is it cultural? Are their own countries filthy? Are they so used to living in filth they don’t even realize they are doing it?
When my daughter did her Physical Geography degree she spent several weeks in Madagascar off the east coast of Africa.
The village in which she stayed was pristine although she noticed people cleaning things as she and other students arrived.
Within a week the village had rubbish blowing around everywhere and my daughter reached the conclusion it was just the way they lived. Why? was an unanswerable question. The second village they went to the same thing. Pristine on arrival as if it had been cleaned up and filthy by the end of the week. Weird.
Well, that’s Madagascar. They can do what the hell they like in their own country as can Asians and Africans. None of my business but I wish the dirty sods would stop making parts of Britain in which they have settled bloody great garbage dumps.
To me, it’s just another pointer that too many immigrants have no respect for Britain and our ways.
Either that or they’ve been watching too many British ‘chavs’ in action.
I’m just a cantankerous old git really 😘
and we will call you on your shit when it is deemed necessary 🙂
😀😀😀👍😘
Really like your comments Bobbie Peel – think you’ve got Norman/Neil well sussed.
It’s Neil babe. I’m many things but not schizo…well not entirely 😀
If Bobbies got me sussed could she explain me to my wife? In 33 years she hasn’t 😂
Not much to suss out Cherries, his bigotry is up front and center.
I wonder why it is – and I am assuming you’re a liberal here – that when ever you say something that some liberals don’t like or agree with they fall back on name calling?
Proper liberals debate and discuss. Just saying 🙂
Not name calling, you’re always giving people a hard time, mainly Muslims. It’s not hidden, that’s why I can call you out with confidence.
I am independent.
Fair enough.
I do speak my mind and a career in the diplomatic service was never on the cards was it? 😀
I do go on a bit about Muslims I know. It’s just that, unlike Hindus and Sikhs and so on, so many seem determined to not even try integrating.
Bear in mind I’m nearly 60. Maybe if I was 20 or 30 my thoughts would be milder?
Professor Marx’s ideas have been tried in many different forms and a true communist, socialist, or Marxist state has never come to fruition primarily because he did not account for the dark heart of human beings. Humanoids are the worst of the animal world and will likely be the end of this third rock from the sun. Why, during the migration of humans from Southern Africa some decided to stop in the Middle East is beyond my reasoning. I would have thought they would have continued until they at least saw a lot more trees before they made a home.
Never a truer word old bean
Karl Marx never went to Russia. They did hijack his economic thinking and created a perverted state which, to some extent, still exists. He lived in England for many years. He’s buried in Highgate, London. One of the most maligned philosophical thinkers in history, in modern times his name is almost a cuss word. Someone to make fun of, like the people you criticize over and over again.
Ah! Thank you. Got him mixed up with Groucho. 😀
Actually Marxism is a great idea. Sadly it requires humans to want to follow it.
Nah. No chance.
…and stop calling me ‘Mister’! You make me sound as old as I am! 😛
Jess : I know that but for some reason in Britain if it isn’t chavs it always seems to be immigrants. I don’t know why.
Bobbie : Jess helps me try and be better and yes I’m a naughty boy 😀. No idea what a cultural Marxist is.
Bill : Engels wrote his communist manifesto in Manchester not far from my home town. Marx nicked it off him and went to Russia. I’m scruffy as he’ll myself.
Bobbie : I think you just insulted everybody without choosing, carefully or otherwise! 😱
Neil, Neil NEIL. You can find this anywhere this littering thing. Some people are just lazy and nasty and think it’s someone else’s problem to pick up their trash. it’s not all about immigrants all the damn time.
You talk to Mr Bamforth like he’s a naughty boy Jess, really he’s not at all. It’s cultural Marxism in reverse. Quite willful.
Where did Karl Marx get into this situation. As I recall Professor Marx was more about the collective being able to care for everything. That is one of the problem. The political structure of any country cannot fix this unless it is dictatorial to the point that the state executes people for being trashy. In that case no one may ever enter my home. I am far from being domesticated. I have a rather large fellow who comes around to take care of the outside so people will not think I am trashy though. I pay him well to make me look to look like all of the Republicans that live around here. Very tidy on the outside, but don’t look on the inside.
🙂
Cultural Marxism doesn’t have that much to do with Karl Marx. there are several traits to it, one of them being political correctness. You don’t call a black person nigger, a brown person a spic or a guinea, Chinese people slanty eyes or Chinks, Middle East people towel heads or sand jockeys. Generally don’t slam people from other cultures because you are white in a majority white society. People who practice Cultural Marxism in reverse don’t care who they insult with their carefully chosen words. They do it over and over again.
Very enlightening post. I have Mr, Bamforth all wrong. I was of the thinking he didn’t like black or brown immigrants, but I now realize he doesn’t like poor people. I come to this conclusion because he included poor, badly educated whites, these called chavs, in his latest assault on the people in his neighborhood. Why he insists on living in such a filthy, dirty deprived area is beyond me. He is obviously far more intelligent, cleaner than anybody in a 10 mile radius. Go live among your equals.
😂😂😂 Oh Bobbie you do make me giggle.
I couldn’t care less whether somebody is rich, poor, black or white.
If there is a lack of respect you call it out in my world. You don’t move house.
White ‘Chavs’ and many Asian and African immigrants seem he’ll bent on turning places they live into cesspits.
This is wrong and I’m calling it wrong.
And the problem is?
It’s hard for you to be humble when you’re perfect in every way. If only people could be more like you the world would be a better place.
It’d probably be more of an asylum than it is now! 😀
Folks being from that station (primarily being poor) in life until I entered the Marines I think I can point to several problems that lead to the situation. I am not sure this applies to immigrants but it was always a problem growing up in projects as far back as the 40s and 50s. These can be seen as excuses rather than reasons I guess. I remember mom and my step dad were always conscious about our trash can and us leaving “toys” out side. But thinking about it there were always junk cars and overflowing trash cans at most of the units. In some cases it was them not having a way to get rid of things that started their messes. It reminds me of the “Broken Windows” syndrome. It seems that those areas generate more trash possible because the stuff, including food, always came in packages. Another was once the trash started to accumulate people walking by would simply add more to the piles. It reminds me of an old saying that say, “It is tough to soar with eagles when you are stuck with a bunch of turkeys.”
Lot of turkeys round my way then 😬
It’s all about slobs. Some people are slobs some aren’t. I do find that poor, uneducated people tend to be more “slobbery.” So I think Neil has a point. Good on him.
Poor areas in Britain tend to have more immigrants albeit not all immigrants live in poor areas.
No idea in America but I can’t help seeing what I see with my own eyes over here.
I’ve no other answer other than what Barbara says…..but I’m open to suggestions
Back yards in rural Appalacia tend to contain more junk and refuse than in Scarsdale. Perhaps the local culture is more accepting of it as is the culture of some immigrants, perhaps poverty and hopelessness is a factor in disorder and self respect. American culture may be better at assimilation though, even if it takes a while.
Not sure if you’ve been to Key West lately, but when I first moved there in 1988 I found it to be a litter ridden, filthy little island. When I left almost 20 years later it hadn’t changed much. I don’t know what that says except people are just fcking dirty, particularly tourists who don’t give a shit what they leave.
I lived in a place similar to the ones you describe, and, although it was/is a small city populated with immigrants there’s another just up the road that is primarily poor white people, Americans all. So, what conclusion can we reach from this?
Poor white areas in Britain are often the same. It could be poverty related.
Many immigrant areas suffering in this way are not areas of poverty though.
The only conclusion I have is that their culture includes poor public hygiene.
I’m open to alternative conclusions….
They have no respect for Britain or themselves.
A considerable number indeed do not.
