Anita Dobson says the area of London where she grew up has become 'unrecognisable in a shocking way' after she returned on a recent visit to the capital.
The actress, 76, grew up in Stepney Green in the East End, the daughter of a tailoress and a dress cutter - but now says the streets and the sense of community she knew as a child have long since changed.
The star added: 'Now thereโs many, many more different races and colours and accents and voices, and many more religions. So it has been good in a lot of ways but in some ways you lose something as well.
'(We've lost) community. Weโre not a society any more. Weโre not social. People donโt talk to each other like they used to.'
She said society had changed from when she was small, noting: 'Mum would leave a key on a piece of string through the letterbox and youโd come home, pull the string up and let yourself in. You wouldnโt dream of doing that now.'

UK Economic situation begins to worsen:
"The rate of UK unemployment has risen to 5% in the three months to September, showing signs the jobs market has weakened, according to new official figures.

Here is a question the likes of Sultana, Corbyn & Polanski will never be able to answer.
They support the British regimes importation of nearly 1 million new people per year and in fact demand more.
Yet there is growing unemployment which means the economy has insufficient jobs for the workers available.
What this means is that the Capitalist classes can then lower wages as they are in control not the workers.
By continuing to support mass immigration these people are supporting the needs of International Capital.
Maybe that is the plan all along.

An NHS manager who sexually abused and raped young girls after grooming them on Snapchat has been jailed for 28 years.
Paul Lipscombe was sentenced after he admitted to sexual grooming, sexual assault and two counts of rape of a child under 13, in a case described as "shocking and terrifying" by detectives.
Lipscombe, 51, who is believed to have earned at least ยฃ91,000 a year as an associate director of NHS performance in Coventry, ferried his victims to rented hotels and Airbnbs in a Tesla.
A 15-year-old girl, who was one of six children groomed by Lipscombe in Leicestershire, Norfolk and Lincolnshire, told the BBC she wants facial recognition brought in so predatory adults can't get access to young people on the app.
Snapchat said it was committed to combatting sexual exploitation of young people and worked with law enforcement to help keep "such activity off our platform".
