Agreed, but the mass opinion change relied on a large amount of legwork and preparation put in during the early period. I think our immigration debate is where France’s was in about 2010, you’ve had past populist successes but they haven’t been built on properly... yet
We aren’t racist, we oppose racism in fact. So you think these views are entirely learnt? Blank slate stuff? Also, how do you explain the persistence of self-segregation effects? Segregation appears to increase as the overall population gets more diverse, which seems odd

It is good to hear that you oppose racism but your disappointment about the intergenerational fall in racism in the UK is sending mixed signals about that
-
It’s not disappointment at all, it’s scepticism. I think multiculturalism is a failed policy that inflames racial tensions. It seems obvious to state we didn’t have race riots before the era of mass immigration - and replacement level immigration is causing immense problems
-
It seems to me you are disingenuous and not-credible on the issues of race and esp integration. You are not a pro-integration project, but the opposite (cf your comments on Sadiq Khan), so you have no credible answers to "what should we do now" given its not 1948 or 1968.
-
On being opposed to racism, I find the credibility of that much undermined by the racist statements & track records of your allies, as well as content of your own arguments. A more honest reframing project would 'wear racist as a badge of pride' given your core points on race.
-
What are our core points on race? We have not made any racist statements, please provide evidence of a single one...

Your Sunday Times comments re the Mayor. I am English. You accept that? Is Sadiq Khan as British as you are?
