Debden is one of those stops near the end of the Central line. Twenty-five years ago it was an unremarkable English town. It is now almost unrecognisable.

    Left London in 1989 for Colchester, as London was fucked. London has now followed me to Colchester. Everywhere is now fucked.

    An absolute tragedy, a betrayal of the British people. The future is looking very grim, very grim indeed.

    I cannot put into words how much I hate politicians and what they have done to this country.

    It's the equivalent to Japanese knotweed. Invasive & near impossible to eradicate.

    Why do so many immigrants afford such expensive cars, clothes, etc shortly after arriving in the UK?
  • Its like a country lighting it's own funeral pyre ( Enoch Powell ) we were warned, 😒

    Of course they will turn these lovely places into the mess that they came from
  • If more people had voted BNP we may well not have got into this mess. The Anglo will need to become revolutionary to turn this around. Some people at a local level are doing good work. British Democrats, English Democrats, The Homeland Party and National Housing Party UK.

    This once proud nation, at the pinnacle of civilisation, the home of Democracy, safe, prosperous, verdant and peaceful, and now utterly ruined by our own political, so called leaders. Well, I hope you’re happy with your work!!!🀬
  • Although only about 15 miles from where I live, I had never had the need to visit Grays in Essex until a few weeks ago. What a shock it was, it was like entering the third world.

    A more telling title would be How a small country called England is being transformed into a foreign country.
  • @km4089
    All very sad, what has our corrupt government gone and done.

    I absolutely support Simon Webb's comments.The English were like a frog in slow boiling pot on this issue.In April 2017 I walked from the Marylebone flyover to Marble Arch and never heard English being spoken.I thought at the time this was just beyond belief.
