For those of you unfamiliar with the Beverly Hills aesthetic of suburban Bradford, I’d like to introduce you to the A647 Leeds Road. One of the main thoroughfares into and out of the city, it runs more or less due east from the city centre out towards the Leeds border at Thornbury Roundabout. The area to the south of Leeds Road is an unsightly mixture of industrial units, waste recycling plants and an abattoir. To the north, a maze of streets lined with Victorian stone-built terraced houses. It was in one of these houses that my maternal grandparents settled in the early 1970s. Despite growing up in south London throughout the 1980s, I’d return home to Yorkshire often enough to get to know these streets well. Leeds Road itself was a hive of working class activity. Scattered amongst the numerous independent traders were enough pubs to service a small principality: The Napier, White Bear Inn, Victoria, The Cemetery, Oak Inn, The Garnett, New Inn, Adelphi, New Exchange, Waterloo, Funhouse Bar, High Flyer, Wagon & Horses, Albion and The Lemon Tree (this last pub being the main hostelry of choice for the area’s small and well-integrated Sikh community).
As recently as the early 1980s, these eastern streets of Bradford were still overwhelmingly white and British. But, as my teenage years wore on, I noticed the rapid change in the demographic profile of the neighbourhoods. As the Muslims (swelled by substantial birth rates and migration) moved increasingly outwards from the centre of Bradford – bringing with them immiscible cultures, isolationism, litter-strewn pavements and scruffy houses, the native Bradfordians moved further and further away. The replacement took place with almost military precision. Each year my grandparents would tell me of another street that had been almost entirely taken over by “Asians” – Gladstone Street, Amberley Street, Rochester Street, Harewood Street, Lapage Street, Acton Street……. By the time my grandparents moved into sheltered accommodation in another part of Bradford in the late 1990s, the entire district – from Thornbury Roundabout to Little Germany – was in excess of 90% Pakistani origin. Today, over a quarter of a century later, Leeds Road is filled with shops catering exclusively to Islamic tastes in food and clothing and, as you would expect, every single aforementioned pub has long gone. There are now no public houses on Leeds Road whatsoever! Quite the transformation.
Now, I don’t know what you’d call it, but I firmly believe an area of a country that has been taken over by non-native people to such an extent that there are no facilities which cater to anything other than these newcomers should be called a ‘colonisation’. Thankfully Jim Ratcliffe, part-owner of Manchester Utd, is rich enough and powerful enough to call out the evil and moral corruption inherent in government attempts to alter Britain beyond recognition without the fear of being silenced or cancelled. Ratcliffe, whatever his political leanings or past Prime Ministerial preferences, is a British success story and inspiration. Born in Oldham, he grew up on a council estate in humble surroundings. Going on to complete a degree in chemical engineering from Birmingham University. In 1998, Ratcliffe founded the chemical company INEOS and, given its corporate success and global reach, is now amongst Britain’s richest businessmen.
Jim Ratcliffe was endorsed in his comments about immigrant colonisation by ‘Dragon’s Den’ entrepreneur, Duncan Bannatyne. Given both men know a lot about business models and how to generate wealth and employment (both concepts beyond the wit of this scabrous government), their comments on mass migration and uncontrolled welfarism should have been given a fair wind. Anyone with intelligence north of a sunflower seed (I admit that leaves out most on the political Left) can see the demographic and cultural tidal wave that’s flooded this country since the Millennium; that’s saturated its sense of identity; and that has left behind a sociological detritus of urban silos, parallel communities, defiled teenage girls, rampant Jew-hatred, first cousin marriages, cruelly-slaughtered animal rituals, heightened terrorism and many other things I’ve missed out. In the 1980s, places like Bradford were few and far between here in the UK. Nearly three decades into the 21st Century, there are many other examples of urban immigrant colonisation across this land. Furthermore, if anyone thinks about spending time in the countryside as an escape from the DEI dystopia, the government now wants to ‘enrich’ our rural spaces (https://www.lbc.co.uk/article/british-countryside-white-middle-class-5HjdRjm_2/) just to ensure there is no corner of forever England that can’t be turned into a foreign field.
Britain’s legacy media decided to turn on Jim Ratcliffe and Duncan Bannatyne because they spoke the truth. It’s a truth millions of us can see with our own eyes. They had more to say about the use of the word ‘colonisation’ from one man than they’ve said about the ongoing civil investigation conducted by Rupert Lowe MP on the despicable scourge of industrial-scale teenage rape by Pakistani Muslim men (https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/the-rape-gang-inquiry-1#). Let that sink in: So apparently ‘wonderful’ and ‘strengthening’ is all this diversity that the media have studiously avoided any coverage of one of its most potent impacts on our society. When they do actually cover the odd story, they gaslight us with misleading descriptions of the person’s identity, or attempt to mitigate our growing sense of rage by emphasising the perpetrator had some sort of mental illness or aberration. Ratcliffe may have mismatched the timeframe with the population growth in his interview, but the sentiment he expressed was an accurate one: open borders have left our country poorer, less safe, blighted by creaking infrastructure and more divided than ever before. We HAVE been colonised in significant parts by those who have no interest in integration or assimilation.
Who the hell is Keir Starmer to demand an apology from a private citizen? The Chief Constable of the Speech Police!? Didn’t he tell us free expression was alive and well in Britain? So why the desperation to shut the likes of Ratcliffe up? It’s because the Establishment, knowing full well what they’ve done (and are doing to this country), want to prevent a backlash from the majority population at all costs. Too late! Britain is already rumbling and, if continued to be ignored, it will do a lot more down the line than just rumble.
