Rincewind Posted 6 September 2011 Posted 6 September 2011 Maybe I wasn't very clear. I was making a point that because of mis-conceptions about coloured families some white house hunters are reluctant to move into a street where cololoured families live hence the reduction of the value. I know people who would think like this and from what I have read in the posts there may be one or two on here too. Personally it would not bother me who my neighbours were.

Maybe, but i reckon most white Britons wont move into such area's, or move out of areas just because they dont want to live amongst others, other than than their own kind Personally it would not bother me who my neighbours were. Unless it was Bronson,lmao....have you seen the doc' on that guy? Their is never going to be total integration, anywhere in the world, its just human nature of the majority. The next Saga you will hear about is the community centre in Thurnby Lodge is apparently being turned into a Mosque, which is hard to believe, when you consider the community their on a whole isn't Muslim. Just another issue for the locals and Polica to deal with, that will probably cause more trouble than its worth.
panky and our gang Posted 7 September 2011 Posted 7 September 2011 Night Guard sorry to sound pedantic but according to the P C right on brigade you can no longer call anyone " coloured " It's either Black or Asian ect you have to more specific nowadays . lol
panky and our gang Posted 7 September 2011 Posted 7 September 2011 Hey Zubi have you seen my missus ? can I borrow a veil off you pleeeeeease ! lol
Saxondale Posted 7 September 2011 Posted 7 September 2011 Whenever I hear of John Cleese, I think of TFI Friday and "real name - John Cheese"! Anyone remember that?

Just another issue for the locals and Polica to deal with, that will probably cause more trouble than its worth. That centre is used as a prayer venue by a local group. To say it's being turned into a mosque is incorrect. The group is currently looking for a larger venue as the centre is too small for them. But this is not 1980s South Africa. People here are free to live and worship wherever they please.

Ok, Just going on what i heard from family who live nearby, sounds to me they have had letters about it already, they must be mistaken
Rincewind Posted 7 September 2011 Posted 7 September 2011 This is how misconceptions start. Before you know it the story will all round the pubs then someone will inform the EDL who will tell the Daily Mail then it will be front page headline as to how 20 Mosques are being built in Leicester.
Guest MattP Posted 7 September 2011 Posted 7 September 2011 Maybe, but i reckon most white Britons wont move into such area's, or move out of areas just because they dont want to live amongst others, other than than their own kind Well of course not. I wouldnt move to an area like Sparkhill in Birmingham because it would have anything do with my lifestyle, I wouldnt buy a house where there isnt a pub or a betting shop for 5 miles. I dont actually see whats wrong with people wanting to live with their own, I enjoy living in a mainly white, mainly middle class village with local shops, local pubs where most people know each other. Despite what some try to force down you there is no shame in that.
MC Prussian Posted 7 September 2011 Posted 7 September 2011 Right or wrong it is fact (dont know about modern times) that if a coloured family moved into an area the house prices would fall. So who would be willing to move into an area where the house values have fallen and not worry about who their neighbour was? Can somebody please send me a couple of new, coloured neighbors, please? See, I wouldn't mind paying less rent at all. And it'd also be much more rewarding culture-wise.
John Matrix Posted 7 September 2011 Posted 7 September 2011 Well of course not.

ozleicester Posted 8 September 2011 Posted 8 September 2011 I live in ..."THE BLACK COUNTRY"... how do you think i feel
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 8 September 2011 Posted 8 September 2011 I was born in Belgrave road in the very early 50's and of course lived a childhood that was exclusively white . I will leave it at that . I did too, and know exactly what you mean.
