I hope the readers here fully grasp that the above statement has its clear roots and is a reflection of deep seated anti-semitism. East London is the historical home of the Jewish garment district and birthplace to modern British retailing. Jack Cohen, for example, started off with a market stall named Tess in the East End-- the birth of Tessco... The establishment hated the East-End as it had their two favorite minorities to hate--- Irish and Jews--- and resented the success of these entrepreneurs. East End prejoratives also used by some rival football fans to refer to Tottenham Hotspur (the "Yids")--- also to its owner Alan Sugar who is a native East Ender.
