“The Last Whites of the East End”: The BBC Documentary They Want You to Forget, By Noel Yaxley

 10 years later, this sobering look at the cost of unchecked immigration is more relevant than ever.

The British East End has long stood as the beating heart of London's working class — famous for its docks, bustling markets, pie and mash shops, and the unbreakable Cockney spirit.

That all changed during the ten years of Tony Blair's government, which, driven by a zealous doctrine of multiculturalism, threw open Britain's borders. As Blair's own former speechwriter bluntly put it, this was designed to "rub the right's nose in diversity." The result has been a demographic upheaval so swift and far-reaching that today the traditional East Ender is often spoken of as an endangered species.

The 2016 BBC documentary "Last Whites of the East End" brought that shift into public view. A decade on, it plays less like reportage than elegy — a stark record of a culture on the brink of disappearance.

Wholesale displacement

It is telling, if not entirely surprising, that the documentary is no longer available to stream on BBC iPlayer, as if the establishment would rather erase this uncomfortable chapter and its role in it. For this is not a case of natural urban evolution, but the direct result of policy-driven mass immigration, the emergence of parallel societies, and the wholesale displacement of the native population.
