Again, one hears the accusation that this democratic outcome is ungodly for race relations and is, in itself, an encourager of violence and persecutions.
Did the EU also invent racial harmony ? Like the infamous English ball-match hooligans, those already with a racialist bent are using this, as they do said ball games, to vent their unresolved frustrations on 'the others'. Here in Hackney we have 're-whitewash gentrification', where black persons feel, rightly so, that they are being bleached out by a banker-funded clique of sacharrine whiteys who just don't jive with the existing ska-dancehall culture. Some of these yuppies had Stay placards in their windows, but all the leftists honks who laid the mat out for them in the first place had RemaIN vulgarising their (mostly Victorian) fenestration (a mix of bien pesant politik and fears their property purchases would become devalued or bad investments - there was not a single Leave poster anywhere). The yuppies drive the shop rents up so everything finally becomes clinically clean, cold & corporate friendly, like Canary wharf and most of the west end. No quirks, no eccentrics, no brick-a-brack, no rastas, no unsteriles.
The terrible thing about not allowing poor persons is that there is no stability, no congeal, no ferment. Everything is green, raw and cold. If you don't keep dumb, fresh, clean, tidy & sharp, you will be eventually bought out, robbed by taxes, or evicted. Unless, that is, you hold on thru 'til the next nosedive to ghetto junk status.
Not as hard as it seems.. Hard come, easy go.
Culture is a long process, like a fine time-tuned eco-system. But the clean up is known as 'Civilisation' . The last stage before evisceration, extinction and collapse. Also known as 'the bleach'.
"Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness." - Matthew 23:27
