That's just because the government caters to pedophiles and any other horribleness you can imagine.

Not to mention a lot on that list push policies to open borders and support multiculturalism, furthering pressure on actual British Londoners and immiserising them even more.

Plenty of cockney's can still be seen living in east London.
Plus lots of immigrants seek to move here for free healthcare, free education, free home, etc, so even the poor aren't doing that badly.
It's not just a city for celebs and supermodels and entrepreneurs, look around at all the cockneys that can be seen in London's markets for instance, who are doing good business too!

Hey, if immigrants don't like it they can leave.
If celebs and stars don't like it, they can also leave too!

Nobody is forcing them to live here at gunpoint!

I work for a British company, since they were bought iover & the English get more than the Scots for the same work( not far from minimum wage), but the Londoners in particular get far more per hour, because of the high cost of living.

Russians keep a much more low profile.While the Arabs make a hell of a show with their supercars.The cars are just so cool and the drivers in general are good people.Mostly.
