Alex Armstrong speaks to members of the public in Southall — one of the most diverse areas in the United Kingdom — about Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s claim that the UK has been “colonised” by immigrants.
Standing in the heart of the west London community, Armstrong asks residents whether they agree with Ratcliffe’s remarks or see them as inflammatory. Opinions vary sharply. Some say the language is provocative and dismiss it as divisive rhetoric that ignores the contribution immigrant communities make to British society. Others argue that levels of migration have been too high and believe the comment reflects genuine public concern about pressure on housing, public services and social cohesion.
Several local business owners point to Southall’s thriving high street, multicultural character and strong sense of identity as evidence that diversity can be an economic and cultural strength. Meanwhile, a handful of interviewees say politicians have failed to properly manage immigration and integration, fuelling frustration that figures like Ratcliffe are tapping into.
The discussion highlights how charged the immigration debate remains, particularly when framed in stark terms such as “colonisation.” In an area long shaped by waves of migration, residents offer a snapshot of a national conversation that continues to divide opinion.
