The conference was misnamed – it obtained right here from a US suppose tank, the similar physique behind the Republican Tea Celebration rallies.
Ms Braverman and others say she has every correct to particular her extreme views on immigration and her plans to stop it.
Considering her background (grew up in multicultural Wembley, north-west London, every mom and father emigrated proper right here inside the ’60s, mum from Mauritius and pa from Kenya) I uncover it bizarre she grew to change into a mouthpiece for a movement born from and funded by US white supremacists.
Ms Braverman claimed that multiculturalism doesn’t work. My nation resides proof that it does work – the home secretary resides proof of it. Children of all sorts go to highschool collectively, reside as neighbours and, for basically probably the most half, reside in peace in plenty of working-class metropolis areas.
It appears to me as if Ms Braverman is serving the mistaken grasp, which is ready to little query change into apparent come the next regular election.
