I live in Camden, North London, and there are quite a few vicious fights between West Indian and Somali groups. I can't believe the guys in this clip are saying the Somali community "has it easy over here". When you think about what they've had to escape, back in Somalia!! The woman speaks a lot of sense. Why can't the West Indian community, as well as the White community, welcome the Somalis, and try and help them settle in here? Instead of making the Somalis feel even more frightened and isolated?
