        he believes people like me shouldn’t be in london.

        never mind that i was born in this country.

          I am not saying he is right, but I do want to point out that is not what he said. He said he no longer wants to live in london because it is full of people “like you”.

          Which is kind of a different thing

            i don’t really feel like splitting hairs over fascism, but he’s effectively said that I’m not british because i’m not white

              All I’m saying is that if you want to keep a moral high ground and accuse someone of being a fascist you should at least not put words in their mouth, what they say should be enough. Otherwise it gets to be a witch hunt.

                I don’t care about any kind moral high ground; it’s clear enough what that rhetoric leads to.

        His views are white nationalist dog shit. He’s an idiot that is scared of immigrants and doesn’t have a single original thought.

        I would very much like to know which of his views that “make some leftists hyperventilate” are correct from your point of view.

          • London (and other European cities) used to be very much more homogeneous in population, this made them feel much safer and pleasant, like him, I miss this time
          • In my opinion just being born in some country don’t make you a native. Would you say some German dude born to white German parents, with a 500 year lineage in Bavaria who moved to China before his birth, even if they obtained Chinese citizenship make him a native Chinese?
          • I don’t like the growing influence of Islam in European countries
