He thinks I'm anti-British because I'm from Argentina. Very much like saying Americans are anti-British given that they fought Brits as well. Or anti German, anti-Japanese, anti-Spanish, anti-Mexicans, and kinda a dozen other countries. I lived in NI (UK) for 4 years. You can imagine how anti British I must be if I chose to live there for fours years. Never had a problem because I was Argentine. Some of my family still lives in London.

Are you seriously going to argue you're NOT anti-Brit? C'mon man... View Quote Do I like their gun laws, knife laws and the rest of the liberty hating crap they put up with? No. Maybe you do, I dont. As for Brexit you can go look up my posts before Brexit. I was and am very much in favour of Brexit. Of course I knew it would have a serious impact on their economy and that I wouldnt like my country to be in that position but I believe it got to a point where a "divorce" to put it someway was the only good outcome left. |

Lived in UK/London for 5 years. I did diplomatic security at the Embassy........the place is a shit hole and it is hard to meet actual people from London who have British descent.
I then was transferred to Cornwall, to a UK RAF base in St. Mawgan, it was beautiful and actual people who were from the country they lived in.......real novel idea I know. |

Quoted: Need I remind you ....once again....about the claims your son made about the same tourists areas I recently visited and provided pictures of? I made no claims about the “ethnic composition of the city”. I never said I didn’t see a number of Muslims. Your son said there were “no white people there”. If you look hard enough, you might find a burka or beard in my photos. Why are you trying to put words into my mouth? Simply stated that my experience was not the same when visiting...as a tourist....same places as your son. The difference is that I actually provided evidence.

London is a big city like all other big cities. It draws people from all over the globe. Of course you’ll find more British background people in smaller towns, not many foreigners looking to go to backroads UK (US, France, etc)
I lived in London for a bit as well. Different folks see what they want I guess. |

I think son is reporting back what he thinks dad wants to hear.
I've been to London multiple times. The OP describes a different city from the one I've frequented. But hey, maybe if he argues more, I'll forget the many times I had a completely different experience in the city. Surely he knows better. |

I already answered your question several times but here it goes again. You took a pic of fucking tourist spots full of (white) tourists. That means shit.
You seem convinced that the CIA should study your amazing pic and make some grand discoveries but there's simply nothing there. The demographics of London are what they are, and those match my son's observations, not your pic. Theres no discrepancy. Your holiday pics mean nothing. I cant put it any clearer than that.

Huh. I just got back from there. Your son’s observations were about what I expected before going. It simply isn’t reality. At least all the places I visited.

I was expecting needles and bum shit everywhere (because of GD) and I simply didn't see anything like that.
