Also full of skint lgbtq+ people and voted Green at the elections.

Try and argue that with folk who believe in them and you’re an out of touch metropolitan elite though :lol:
Ironically I live in an area with a low white British population and plenty of LGBTQ too (we have permanent 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍🌈 flags painted on the high street) and it’s also home to some of the key players in the BBC pay-for-gay-asylum scam expose :(

Maybe it’s different out in the provinces but when people say no-go zones in London they usually just mean the crime is done by brown people instead of white people :lol:

Govanhill had a double whammy as it was Nicola Sturgeon’s constituency so people used to make up the most horrible rumours to see what would stick.

Worst one I heard was that Romanian folk were prostituting their kids, it was investigated and nothing was found yet the rumour remains.

On a separate note, as of last Tuesday I'm now a British citizen.
Phew just in the nick of time ;)

Congrats on becoming a Brit. Now go join a queue and drink some tea.

On FPTP I've gone back and forward on it. On the one hand people tend to vote for more mainstream 'centrist' parties so their votes aren't wasted. On the other, if you had PR people would be less afraid to vote for extremes because 'every vote would count'.
