Some major grouping trends were 'identified' rather than imposing anything - giving them the benefit of the doubt, the generalisations you mention were probably unintentionally implied by not showing the variety of sub-groups amongst original groups(again, lack of time imo).<br />They did give a stat that there are 10,000 Indian doctors out of a total of 40,000 here (can't recall what type of doctors) - it's a bit of a shame there weren't more facts given to back up more of what was said, but I spose that's not the type of programme it was and might have put off some people. Bring on the statto version!<br /><br />PS - Does that Burnley crew you mentioned include that Aki Nawaz joker?Bargain Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04566681342923484924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8048953.post-1097225089476981472004-10-08T09:44:00.000+01:002004-10-08T09:44:00.000+01:00Nice review Spammy ;)... hahahah..
They got throug...Nice review Spammy ;)... hahahah..<br />They got through a lot in the (long) slot, even told everyone who the Mirpuris are. Pretty good work, spoiled a bit by the end...<br /><br />They went on about football too much, maybe I missed the bit about cricket? Especially with Tebbit on there too. And surely as many Pakis as Bangers running restaurants across a lot of the country, maybe thats just a symptom of the media's London-centricity though.<br /><br />Leicester looks a bit funkier than I imagined, was really nice to see... shame they didn't have Wimmy Road in there though!Bargain Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04566681342923484924noreply@blogger.com
