INTRO: Remember about a week ago everyone was in uproar at Jim Ratcliffe for daring to suggest that Britain had been colonised? Lefties told us, 'No there's no colonisation of Britain. There's no problem with anybody integrating. Everybody here is as British as anyone else. They fit in perfectly and you are racist if you think they are any different to a native Brit.'
And then the Green Party do a party political broadcast in Urdu, because it turns out that swathes of Britain are in fact colonised by foreign populations who apparently haven't integrated, certainly when it comes to learning the language.
In this video I look at the ominous precedent set by this sectarian campaigning.
