Last time I was in the East End it was full of Bangladeshis, I must have missed out when they joined the EU.

It's a piss take surely. The guy with a Jamaican dad and his Romanian wife moaning about immigration. The Bangladeshi dad saying his kids can't experience British culture because the school is full of foreigners, the Aussie headteacher etc etc

Apart from the obvious racist slant from some I think intergration and changing of communities are the under lying theme here, unfortunately it's a topic that doesn't really get discussed. If you are getting immigrants themselves that are unhappy it does make you think
What I found weird was the muslim lad that was born and grew up in the East End following Islam and then wondering why his mates had cleared out to leave him as 'the only true Eastender' left behind. The Eastenders had a choice as the boxer lad implied, either fight it or turn your back on it. And they chose the latter. "They didn't take it...we let them have it.'
The programme was full of contradicitions.
Multi culturalism is not working because religious incompatibility is at the bottom of a lot of it and that isn't going to change in our lifetime.
The Belgrave area in Leicester went the same way as the East End and so did Bradford and Luton to name a few. It seems that gathering together in ethnic groups is the way people want to live and that goes on right across the globe. Religious differences are not always at the heart of it however. Look at the British taking over parts of Spain. There's a nice little Ex Pat ghetto on the Costa Del Sol because the British worship the Sun God who just gives you skin cancer rather than take your head off.
