	Historically, the East End was where immigrants settled,
Besides bagels, they gave us talents like Marty Feldman, Manny
Shinwell, Sir John Edward Cohen, etc. I could fill pages with the
names of East End Jewish immigrants and their children that came
out of the impoverished East End and made Britain a better place,

	There are still a couple of bagel shops on Brick Lane,
alas they don't sell bialys.

	While we reel from the thuggish riots in England, remember
the The Battle of Cable Street in the East End when Jewish
immigrants confronted Fascists.
