Those of us with long memories may remember the Smawthorne Renewal scheme. All the terraced houses from Smawthorne Lane to Oxford Street were included in a massive improvement programme, all because, at the time, it was one of the most densely populated areas in the EU.CasRus wrote: ↑30 Mar 2021, 13:56Wrong again Capper, those areas have NOT always been there - the huge rush on immigration has had a very serious knock on effect to this day since the Blair decision to bring thousands in in both pressure on NHS/Housing/Schooling and has forced a lot of our native population out of these areas in being overrun. I have many a friend just in Dewsbury who would testify to all that having had to move away from their suburb ThornHill which is practically fully ethnic now and they are LABOUR SUPPORTERS !!!! Now you try locking down those areas who have practically shunned the jab and have massive families all congregating and tell me how you would stop the pandemic !! You are living in Cloud Cuckoo-Land Capper !!FIat Capper wrote: ↑30 Mar 2021, 13:25 That is a very poor defence of your useless government, blaming the Labour Gov't of over ten years ago. When all else fails, blame immigration
Those densely populated areas have always been there, they just contained hard working families such as mine. And, as I said, if you knew these areas existed, why didn't they do more to protect them like locking down earlier, longer, etc?
I'm not sure there's anymore straws in the packet to clutch old lad so I suggest you get your head out of BJ's harris and look at the true details rather than Daily Mail headlines.
Saltaire in Bradford is another with dense housing, Harehills, Headingley in Leeds. Have all these just been built or were they there before 1960?
Another straw clutched and dropped.
And as key worker, I also had the pleasure of visiting a number of areas within the Wakefield district with large numbers of ethnic residents and they were as quiet as anywhere else.
Huge failure of an incompetent government
