Shoreditch High Street Station? No - Banglatown Station in’it!


Just another example of what Labour does best!

We learn this evening that a Labour councillor is supporting a move for a new rail station in East London to be renamed Banglatown - despite it being half-a-mile away from Bangladeshi Muslim dominated “Bangla Town” in Spitalfields, which is not even in the same borough!

Quote: Tower Hamlets councillor Abdal Ullah wants the new stop on the extended East London Line to be named after the Bangladeshi community when it opens in 2010.

The station is to be called ‘Shoreditch High Street’… because it will be in Shoreditch High Street, in the neighbouring borough of Hackney.

But Cllr Ullah feels Bangladeshis in Spitalfields who helped establish Brick Lane as an iconic tourist destination deserve recognition.

“The Bangladeshi community are the custodians of the community,” he said. Unquote.

  1. On that basis we could rename another few stations… How about Westminster being renamed “Greedytown”.

    Any more suggestions?

  3. TFL has plans to extend the Northern Line into parts of south London without Underground stations by building a new branch out of Kennington. This could result in the Northern Line splitting into two separate lines. If the Northern Line splits then a new name has to be found for the second line. One suggested name is the Damilola Taylor line because the extension will have a station in the suburb he lived in. The fact that the Northern Line appears as black on tube maps gives TFL further cause to name it after a black person.

  5. Their planned colonisation of that piece of London is putting down long, tough, hard to dig up roots. They are claiming it as their own, this is not immigration it is annexation.

  6. Had some fun with this one. Here goes - how about Brownmosque for Whitechapel, New Crescent for New Cross, Bangladeshi Stopoff for E. India and Imams Oasis for Parsons Green? Then we could have Hijackers Heaven for Hounslow Central, Sheikhs Tent for Earls Court, Cameldrovers Bush and Maida Hijab.


    And how delightfully ‘diverse’ they all are. - Ed.

    I never knew that the tourists were flocking to Brick Lane. I thought most decent people were trying to get AWAY from Brick Lane. Or if anyone’s actually going there for touristy reasons, it’s not to admire these Bangladeshi enrichers. And I just don’t see how these Bangladeshis are the “custodians” of anything, at least not anything worthwhile in this country. This “Councillor Ullah” is a conceited, pretentious impostor with ideas way above his station (no pun intended). This staion had better remain “Shoreditch High Street” because that’s where it is. The last thing we want is an obnoxious “Banglatown” anywhere on these islands.

  11. Hold on a minute here. How does a foreigner, a Muslim, become a Labour MP? Muslims don’t believe in democracy. How many English are in the governments of Iran, Saudi Arabia–in fact any Islamic country?
    So who is he really representing? The working class? His fellow Muslims? Normal-thinking people know who hes representing, it’s Islam! When there are high enough numbers of “Labour Muslim” MPs they will form their own Islamic party. We aren’t stupid–we know the aim.

  17. about as much as you can expect from a representative for the furtherance of the asian population.

    A gem of a poem by the way! I’ve printed it and stuck it to my accomodation wardrobe at uni. It’s next to ‘the beginnings’ by the same author.

    Would it be a good idea for the BNP to establish a literature section? I’m a law student, so I miss out on the treasures of the past but am delighted when I come across something like this, maybe with an explanation or putting it into context like the various statutes that were published on the Youth site? Just a suggestion.

  19. The indigenous peoples of a BNP-governed Britain will strive with all their might - and all their extraordinary, world-changing ingenuity - to make our country self-sufficient in energy, food and textiles. It can be done and, when the oil runs out and the New World Order which is totally dependent on it collapses, it WILL be done.

    But not if we have to carry on our backs a huge and fast-breeding population of alien parasites. With careful planning and much of
    the technological expertise for which we were once world-famous,
    even our country’s much-depleted natural resources can be made sufficient to meet our needs.

    But not if we have to support a vast and profligately fecund army of jihadists and other “intellectually challenged”
    foreign freeloaders.

    They will have to go home, and all the streets in the “ethnic” areas
    on either side of Leeds Road in my home town of Bradford can have their original names back, in place of the indecipherable Islamic names which have usurped
    their historic English ones. The CP council apparatchiks who arranged that can be employed to
    shovel ballast on all the country’s reinstated railway tracks.

  20. Maybe a little off subject, but while no street names {to my knowledge} have been changed in Newcastle yet. I have, in my lifetime (44), saw a small area in the west end of Newcastle which housed the islamic community, grow to a large swathe to the west of the city. As a result of this, there are very few public houses(been like this for a few years now, to discount smoking ban, price rises etc), I could probably count on two hands how many, considering Newcastle’s Scotswood Road in the west end had around 44 pubs alone at its height. These establishments are very much a part of our culture, and it is, to me, another indication of what is befalling us.
    Just as a footnote, Scotswood Road now, only has about 3 or 4 pubs. All catering for the gay community.

  21. The Muslims already have the first brick in the wall - the Muslim Council of Britain. We don’t get a vote in it nor can we join it: its the beginning of a state within a state - as Kosovo began so this begins, Sharia law is their law they do not recognize our law only to pacify us until sufficient numbers are here then the nicetie’s will stop.They have councillors and MP’s already in our government, we have none in theirs yet it’s we who are called racist. these people are cunning crafty and astute they are working to a big plan and our sycophantic money grabbing pacifistic scoundrels in government are allowing it .The thieving buggers and cheats practice every vice known to man or beast. How about changing all the underground stations into Bangladeshi and Pakistani names that would make them feel more at home. BNP 4 me

  23. London of course has a Chinatown. The difference between Chinatown and “Banglatown” is that the Chinese community are n’t looking to take over Britain and declare a Caliphate. The Chinese have been in Britain a long time, and Chinatown has been there for about 150 years, or even longer. The Chinese are quiet and self-effacing, hard working and bright. I dont know for fact, but I would hazard that they have the fewest people on benefits of any community.
    However, the Caliphate aint never going to happen, whereas China seems set to take over the World eventually. They’re busy colonising Africa and South America, buying up 100’s of thousands of hectares of arable land and settling it with Chinese farmers. They’re investing in oil,natural gas, industry and mining all across the third world, and they are far, far more dangerous than the no-hoper Bengalis.
    They’re clever little chappies the Chinese, but the Bengalis could n’t survive in Britain were it not for welfare.

  24. This just illustrates that we are witnessing is an alien colonisation event; the French refugees who arrived in this area during the latter 17th century did not demand that it be renamed “Huguenotville”.

    That is the difference between a modest migration(adding some 1% to total population) of intrinsically
    useful people(often highly skilled weavers) and a COLONISATION by the surplus, backward, population of the 3rd world.

  25. Does anyone know what happened to a certain ‘Havelock Street’ (in Ealingistan, I believe) that a local, noble, enriching, upstanding Asian notary or councillor found offensive to his delicate, downtrodden sensibilties because it related to General Havelock, a key figure in British history in the Empire days? How dare we celebrate leading figures in british history in this country!

  26. If this suggestion ever sees the light of day then why not go whole hog and rename the capital Londonistan? At least that would wake up a lot of people!

  27. Sorry. I forgot this incredible example of Our-Friends-From-The-Great-Subcontinent fulfilling their duties as “custodians of the community”. About a year or two ago one of our Enriching Subcontinental nouveau-compatriots managed to get his hands on a Grade 1 listed 18th. house in need of repair in Stratford East. Then, without consultation with anyone, he part-demolished it to make way for some abortion of his own diversifying imagination (a super Kebab shop of Halal car park?). When the Authorities got wind of it they were (so I heard) after him with a big summons for the cost of restituting the building but I believe he was nowhere to be found (probably spirited himself away to that heavenly Nirvana on the coast of the Bay of Bengal - as one does). Does anyone know what actually happened in the end? It seems to me that when certain imported personages of a particular tropical ilk say that they are going to be “custodians of the community” you have to ask yourself WHICH community they are going to look after. And their track record in their own Lands of the Sun doesn’t look too good when you’re talking about ‘custodianship’. Wasn’t it the British who saved the Taj Mahal? Didn’t the great Indian Civil Service descend into a corrupt inefficient farce within about eighteen months of the British leaving in 1947-8? (Correct me if I am wrong, or do certain of us on the planet have a strange inability to distinguish the difference between ‘corrupt inefficient farce’ and ‘normal’). I’m sorry, but I get the distinct impression that there are certain amongst us now co-habiting on these islands who do not really understand the full significance of the responsibilties implicit in the term ‘custodian’. Perhaps it’s a longish word they came across in a text book that they think refers to injecting that yellow edible substance into trifles.

  28. If Abdal Ullah wants a Banglatown then I and suspect the biggest part of this population respectfully suggest that HE goes and live in BANGLADESH and take his friends with the same attitude with him. In fact he can take the Labour politicians with him as they think more of Bangladeshies than of the IDIGENOUS population.

  32. This story is so symptomatic of the Islamification of Britain that I’m surprised the country hasn’t been renamed Britishstan! It is increasingly impossible to move without coming into contact with Islam: whether it is a trip to the local shop or Post Office, they are there, secure in their position, waiting their next move. Recently, returning from a trip abroad, I had to suffer the indignity, common no doubt to many, of having my passport checked by a Pakistani Immigration Officer! He handed it back reluctantly, almost as if he wasn’t convinced I wasn’t an illegal alien! Talk about a nice welcome ‘home’!

  35. I can identify with Ragnar - when I came back to the UK for a holiday a few years’ back (yes, even then it was like a foreign country to me), I really objected being shunted into the ‘Aliens’ queue because I was travelling on an Australian passport while the ‘rainbow crowd’ were ushered through the British and EU Citizens area in a quarter of the time it took me to be ‘processed’ by an official in a turban. An added insult to injury was when I bought a coffee at King’s Cross station and my half-full cup was whisked away by a woman wearing pantaloons who then proceeded to wipe the table I was sitting at with the filthiest dish cloth I have ever seen. The Canadian tourist who was sharing the table was horrified - as indeed I was, too. We both left the ‘cafeteria’ quick-smartish. God almighty, whatever happened to hygiene standards in the UK? Gone, like pride and dignity in ‘culturally enriched’ Britain.

  43. “But Cllr Ullah feels Bangladeshis in Spitalfields who helped establish Brick Lane as an iconic tourist destination deserve recognition.”

    And what about the English who built the entire country and accepted them with open arms so they can have a better life? Where is their recognition?

    Posted by Alex | May 22, 2008, 5:02 pm
  44. I used to live one street off Brick Lane when it was a vibrant place some 25 years ago. The Muslims tried to change its historic name some years ago. They had partial success as underneath the Brick Lane sign they have there own version which, not being fluent in Bangla language, I couldn’t tell you what it is. But I have my ideas! What I can tell you is that we no longer visit the place because Cllr. Ullah and his enrichers have made Brick Lane a Bangladeshi-type ghetto.

    Brick Lane has a wealth of iconic status going back several hundred years, with the arrival of the French Huguenots, then the Jews. These immigrants integrated and moved on. This present lot have decided to make it their territory as Cllr. Ullah admits quite freely, or should I say blatantly as that has a more sinister connotation (a bit like ‘admitting’ you support the BNP)! Cllr Ullah is a prime example of why multiculturalism will never work–the only culturalism they respect is monoculturalism.
    As it happens I like monoculturalism too, as there is clearly no choice for us. So Cllr. Ullah, get on your train and don’t get off till it reaches Banglatown in BANGLADESH.
