Make leicester british

Anyone watching this?

Some quite aggressive characters on this programme. Glad i'm not in the same room as them.

Suki and Kit gave me the bloody rage!

Much preferred the No Foreigners Here - 100% British on Channel 5.

Interesting that those with the most virulent anti-immigration views were Kit and Suki, who had both come to the UK at a young age. Kit seemed bitter and aggressive generally - even her mother suggested she was (had been) a handful. It was good to see Suki's views soften. None of the immigrants seemed to fulfil the stereotypes that were being bandied about. The old English guy proved to be very sweet, and it was heart-warming to see his relationship develop with Eduardos.

There was clearly a lot more to Sagal's story. Where was the father of her kids? And she said she had no family yet she came to the country with her parents and siblings as a child, so where were they?

I was surprised and upset that the two people most anti-immigration were immigrants themselves.

I'm 2nd generation British from a Jewish Lithuanian family. This country represented safety and the chance for my family to better themselves. I am grateful and happy to be here. I could never resent or be angry towards anyone else entering this country, trying to do the same. It felt like Kit and Suky have chosen to forget that they are just the same as the people they were sharing the house with.

Yes, the ethnic landscape of the UK has changed a lot since I was a kid, but I couldn't be as hypocritical as Kit and Suky, knowing that my family is just as responsible for changing it. We just changed it a generation or so earlier then the people on this programme. Kettle calling the pot black.

Yes I find the lack of compassion from people whose family were immigrants themselves bewildering and hypocrital ( but think that is probably a common phenomenon, more recent immigrants being hostile to newer ones as it threatens their position). But think of Mr Farage, French Hugenot ancestors who were a persecuted minority in their own country. ( France). Biggest fucking hypocrite of them all! who also has a German wife, if we're going to be really pedantic

Nigel Farage really makes me despair Scarlet. Total hypocrite.

For me, immigrants who have been over here for a generation or two and then become hostile to anyone else now doing what their families have done in the past, seem to be in denial to me. If the UK had been less giving and open to people who needed to leave their countries of origin, then how would their lives have worked out then? Seems like they have chosen to forget or dismiss that and what dire situations brought their families over here in the first place. I would have thought Kit, as a Ugandan Asian, would have a more charitable outlook towards Sagal.
