Fools here had to ruin this excellently edited video. Really does capture what exactly were the thoughts of both the British citizens and immigrantsSad thing is Britain BADLY needed the labour then, we have them to owe for the regeneration of the post-war economy.As for those shocked, welcome to YouTube, this is what anonymity does...

I am an afro-caribbean doctor working in the UK. I have chosen to work in the UK because the majority of my family lives in the UK. The salary isn't great but I like the feel of the country. I will make a valuable contribution to britain, much like my grandfather and father did. Most brits that I have met are decent and fair.My fellow west indians, do not be disheartened by the hurtful words of a few. Hate will eventually consume the hater. Stand tall. We are a valuable part of britain.

thats the truth, we blacks build up the country and the white man comes and we live like second class citizens. i am bahamian and over here it was like that, us blacks do everything and can't see the city from the smoke, no matter how much education you have you still can't have what they got. SAD

I lived in london for two years and I have never had trouble of of white or asians in london. When ever I have been mugged at knife/gun point or attacked for no reason it has always been by some rubber lipped hoody wearing fucking nig nog.

you racist cunt, go back 2 ur cave and eat raw meat, dats how we found u, we taught u how to bathe and take care of ur appearences. How dear u insult the memories of our forefathers. Black people contribued a lot to this country. As r walking take a look at some of the buildings and roads. we put them there, read ur history. White Trash!

Its a shame such a good video has to be brought down by the same yobbish ignorant predictable whiny racists commenting and we the blacks are spose to be 'undesirable'! Its also laughable how they talk about blacks as though there are no white criminals, so ironic i can't even find the words! And as for that scot talking about stabbings and guns GLASGOW is the voilent crime capitol of EUROPE!
