Manchester United co-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s initial remark was absolutely right to say that Britain has been, and continues to be, colonised. Our own colonisation was a top‑down process, largely beneficial to those it touched. This helps explain why many former British colonies outperform historically independent nations, a point well made in Nigel Biggar’s Colonialism.
Today, however, the process is reversed. Our new colonisers arrive mainly from Africa and South Asia, bringing with them traditions and social norms far removed from our own. They enter chiefly as unskilled labour, yet benefit at once from the advanced institutions built by what was once the First World, our health service, schools, and the low levels of crime and corruption that arose from a high‑trust, cohesive, and largely homogeneous Anglo‑Celtic‑Norse society.
As a result, these incoming populations have grown exponentially, while the native British population has stagnated, displaced, and dispersed. What Robert Jenrick noted in Birmingham,much to Keir Starmer’s fury, can be seen from Burnley and Bradford to Bow and Bethnal Green: ethnic replacement and White Flight, not just to Bridlington and Brentwood but even as far as Dubai.
This is colonisation from the bottom up, a flood from the peripheries into the decadent heart of the metropolis. As Juvenal wrote, “the Orontes has flowed into the Tiber”; today, it is the Thames.
