In a somewhat unprecedented move, the BBC, that bastion of political correctness, is set to mark if not mourn the passing of the Cockney folk who have for centuries characterised the East End of London. In a programme to be broadcast on 24th May, the ‘Last Whites of the East End’, the BBC will tell us that the London Borough of Newham, the population of which is now almost 73% of Black or ethnic minority origin will soon witness the demise of Cockney culture and the dwindling to extinction of its last White residents.
The white population of Newham is leaving in droves, according to the programme and Cockneys are becoming an endangered species.
Newham was within living memory an almost all white working class area, with the majority of men dockworkers, but it has now become the most multicultural place in the UK, with 147 languages spoken across the borough.
But why we should ask are the BBC marking this dwindling into extinction when they have not been similarly sentimental about the displacement and replacement of Cockneys elsewhere in neighbouring London boroughs and about the similar fate befalling the wider White population of London?
A Cockney according to folklore was a person born within the sound of ‘Bow Bells’, those bells referring to the bells of the Church of St Mary-le-Bow, which is situated in the Cheapside district of the City of London. It is estimated that prior to motorised transport the bells could be heard for a distance of four to five miles and would have taken in much of the centre of London, but in more recent times Cockneys have tended to be regarded as the traditional working class inhabitants of the East End of London, occupying the districts of: Bethnal Green, Whitechapel, Spitalfields, Stepney, Wapping, Limehouse, Poplar, Clerkenwell, Aldgate, Shoreditch, Millwall, Cubitt Town, Hackney, Hoxton, Bow and Mile End, and to some extent Bermondsey and Peckham.
Many of the districts named fall within the neighbouring borough of Tower Hamlets from which the White working class have similarly been extensively displaced and which now has a Black and ethnic minority population that is 55.5% of the total population. This is the London borough in which Derek Beackon was elected in 1993, in Millwall Ward, as the British National Party’s first elected councillor, and which featured in a BNP video some years later produced by Eddie Butler, entitled ‘East Ended’, which dealt with the very same phenomenon of White displacement and the dwindling White population of the East End.
The video produced by Eddie Butler of course deplored the ethnic displacement and race replacement of Whites in the East End and was in effect a ‘call to arms’ calling upon White people to join the BNP and organise in their self-defence, and this is where the difference lies with regard to the forthcoming BBC documentary.
In my opening paragraph, I state that the BBC documentary ‘marks’ rather than ‘mourns’ the passing of Cockney folk. The BBC website states, “Newham has been shaped by immigration for generations” and the programme includes statements by some immigrants who it claims, feel they are ‘proper East Enders’, people like Usman Hussain, whose family moved to East London from Bangladesh in the 1930s.
Apparently Mr Hussain is a fifth-generation Londoner who says he is pleased to see more Muslims in the area but, at the same time, misses the white friends he knew when he was young.
Speaking on the documentary, he said: ‘I do often think if my childhood friends were around right now they would say, “He’s more British than us. He’s more proud of being an East Ender than us.”‘
So far from being a ‘call to arms’, and far from mourning the passing of genuine Cockney folk, the BBC documentary is a smug multi-cult reading to the ‘last Whites’, of their ‘last rites’, as a prelude to the death of their traditional culture and identity and as a prelude to their extinction as one of the folk communities of old London.
Below is a table compiled from statistics provided by a government website, which shows the percentage of the populations of the boroughs of London who were born abroad and the percentages who are of BAME (Black and Minority Ethnic) origin.
These statistic show clearly the large non-White populations that have developed in recent years in most areas of our nation’s capital, and the relationship between the two sets of figures demonstrate the lie often repeated that ‘most of them were born here’.
The 2011 Census showed that just 13%, i.e. slightly more than 1 in 8 foreign born residents of the UK classified themselves as ‘White British’, and therefore, while a minority the White population may have been born abroad thereby marginally reducing the first statistic, the close correlation between these two sets of figures strongly indicates that the majority of people of Black and minority ethnicity were born abroad.
We must never allow ourselves to become demoralised by this sort of propaganda, and we should always keep in mind that any setback can be reversed and our goal must be to reverse what has happened to our capital city and to fight for a return of our homelands, and for a healthy, wholesome, all-White Britain.

Cockneys replaced with mockneys! These figures do not take into account the thousands of illegal migrants and migrants living of the Radar.

Truly depressing. I cannot see how the demographic can be reversed. I think London has gone forever.

Under the current corrupt LibLabCon regime, current trends will continue and London will become progressively non-White, and this is a depressing prospect, however one ray of hope remains and it is that people like you and I, who are aware of what is happening, get organised and begin working for the removal of our current treasonous political leaders and towards to establishment of an honest nationalist government in their place.

I think in this sort of situation less is more. If you encounter someone who is totally unaware of the covert racial and socio-political undercurrents guiding modern day power politics, it is very easy to ‘overload’ them with new concepts and shocking realities that they will find difficult to mentally process and come to terms with. In such cases we need to tell them the minimum necessary in order to persuade them to take the right course of action and only move on to explain the deeper issues and implications once they have absorbed and mentally come to terms with the initial information.
.
In this case, simply state that ‘daft’ politicians, with their ‘heads in the clouds’, are pursuing an unworkable utopian dream and have manoeuvred us into a situation in which we are in danger of being trapped and subject to a corrupt and undemocratic regime, and rule by unelected bureaucrats. Point out that unlike the British parliament, Euro MP’s cannot draft or initiate or even initiate the repeal of legislation, they can only ‘rubber stamp’ legislation conceived and drafted by the unelected European Commission.
.
Point out that the ill-effects of this regime are that the bureaucrats have destroyed our fishing industry, turned our farming, manufacturing and commercial industries into bureaucratic nightmares and allowed uncontrolled mass immigration from Africa and Asia. If that’s not enough to make someone vote against EU membership, then you are wasting your time.
.
If you talk about cultural Marxism, organised minority advantage, and other conspiracies, you are expecting someone who does not think in sophisticated socio-political terms to exercise a part of their brain that has hitherto been dormant, and that is initially a step too far.

I’ve met a good few “white flighters” from London and it’s surrounding areas, who have moved to my neck of the woods. I admire the honesty of some who openly admit why they left. What I cannot stand are those who are so clearly of the type who have been cheerleaders for the multi-racial/cultural project, pitching up. If I had my way they would be made to stay put, especially as there are those whites who despise what they have done, yet are forced to carry on living with it. Not everyone has the ability to just up and leave.
I wonder if this were not a case of a white European city, but of an African city being completely cleansed of its people to be replaced by whites, we would see phrases such as ethnic cleansing, or displacement? As that isn’t the case, then it seems like it’s going to be sold to people as some sort of achievement, to show we have truly arrived at the pinnacle of our humanity or some other nonsense.
It will all end in tears, as each “community” tries to assert themselves as top dog. It’s only human nature.

Actually, parts of Africa are experiencing their own ethnic cleansing at the hands of the Chinese (Tanzania in particular), for their oil fields and natural resources… and just like our treacherous politicians, theirs are more then happy to sell out their indigenous population.
It’s no where in the scale of city’s like London and Paris, but it’s quite quickly moving towards the same levels of displacements.
Oh and the Chinese have no problem with being outwardly racist to their African hosts, which is the same dynamic we face with ungrateful foreigners in Europe.

Yes I have to say I have heard some stories also about the Chinese in Africa & the resentments being stirred up.
In so many ways they seem to be repeating our mistakes as we went from being an agricultural society to an industrial one albeit at a faster rate.
