Yuh! Big mun, ya dun noe

I find it quite odd in these comments that people have such a visceral and emotiove response to an accent... I wonder if the same people would have had the same attitude to cockney rhuming slang when it first began...

Watching Kidulthood, you will hear alot of MLEs there.

cant stand that top boy fuckin accent bring back cockney

MLE makes me cringe. It also makes my shit itch 😂

NOT Multicultural, 3rd World Culture Britain

MLE is a signifier of low intelligence and criminality

Michael Caine is NOT from the East End. He was born and raised in South London.

You can learn accents through memorisation its not that deep

Fascinating! I'm from East London but I can tell where about's someone in London is from by their accent

Ah.. diversity enrichment.. just works in Disney's cartoons.

I wouldn't for a minute consider hiring anyone who spoke like that for a job (unless I guess it was to work the register at a jerk-chicken shop)

"Are you a %$^&?" "Then why are you trying to sound like one?" - Tony Soprano

MLE is just jamacian patois.

Thank you ma'am I have so many problems in pronounciation. Today's all problems are clear ❤

MLE accent is the sexiest and cooler accent. Maybe its just sexy bc its cool

This is fascinating. I am from Kent and most UK people would say I sound cockney. Cockneys and some other people in Kent say I talk like a farmer. My son has the MLE accent which was unheard of around here until very recently.

Makes people sound unintelligent

I hate accents and slangs. There should only be 3 English accents BBC, CNN and Professor Brian Cox. The rest is superfluous.

Guess that's what happens when you reintroduce an already mixed accent back into the pot.

This is fascinating. I’m watching from Kentucky, US. American southern accents are so clearly different versions of different accents from Britain. So interesting!

real shame. the character that cockney brought was endearing. nothing better than listening to a cockney accent on a woman, and that’s coming from a northerner. the rise of urban culture in particular black ghetto urban culture has finished off the cockney accent. it’s now homogenised garbage devoid of anything really. they sound like droids! and no blm mob, before you pipe up. i aint some old white racist, i’m asian!

I find this accent irritating, it just grates.

Interesting thing is that during the time of Ali G, most people would assume that this is only a dialect for people of color rather than "white" English people, and would criticize white English people for using the dialect as "fakers" or trying to be cool to fit in. In fact Ali G played on that theme a lot with jokes like "is it cos i is black?". But now it seems like most people have accepted that this has just become the default dialect for areas of london that used to speak mostly Cockney.

no you don't have mle presenters in the way you don't have cockney presenters (apart from that ginger woman).

oh my god the isle of sheppey! run a mile unless you want to be murdered by racists.

2:59 - Alistair basically sounds exactly like harry kane.

this is 100% NOT from everywhere, it is from kids of caribbean descent. you were made fun of for sounding like that unless you were from that background.

This is how everyone speaks in London now.

I hate it, it's cringe. All those that speak it think they are gangsta when they're clearly not 🤦🏻‍♂️

Jafaican is repulsive. They just misunderstand american slang and use it wrong. They sound like complete gits

language is always changing. old english to new english to the many accents to now mle.

In Hackney in about 1994 I first heard the word 'innit'. Within a year, the word 'innit' could be heard after every other sentence everywhere and it hasn't stopped since, innit.

Very useful for me poor knowledge

Ahhh yes, displace some random tribe in the rainforest and hear the 'Reeeeee' from space But where have all the cockneys gone? Displaced by foriegners. I went to within the sound of the Bow bells and all I saw was immigrants. Where have all the cockneys gone? Displaced from their cultural home by mass unfiltered immigration #WeWereNeverAsked

Thanks x One Million

I typed in MLE accent thinking "I hope I find a decent video" and ended up finding the perfect video.

When I was young what they're calling MLE now was basically how black kids spoke then. So when I hear this so called MLE spoken by white kids these days all I hear is a really bad impression of how black kids speak. The actual speak style isn't new at all it's just become more popular

In the uk if you go 100 miles the regional accent has changed 5 times and the name of a bread roll has changed at least twice

Well this answers my question of “why do all the young people on Doctor Who sound Jamaican” 😅

Maledetto sto video che devo ricopiare tutti i segni con gli esempi per compito tremon'

As an MLE speaker, you're going to pick up your accent through a prolonged exposure in a particular environment which can be influenced by different cultures. If you are not brought up on tea parties and tennis you are not going to sound like a royal aide bruv. It's not surprising that people can hate on an accent, as we've seen it before, especially if it is tied to a demographic that are demonized for some reason i.e. 'chav' and 'London youth'. I've heard of a recruiter rejecting an applicant who was well qualified because she had an Essex accent! Even the typical vibe of where you're from can impact the tone of your voice. RP sounds more rehearsed and elaborate whereas Cockney is more direct and blunt and MLE is more casual and less pretentious.
