Home Office minister Jake Richards speaks to #BBCBreakfast Ratcliffe claimed UK had been "colonised by immigrants"

Always remember if 30% of the UK are so thick, so disillusioned with their shite consumerist lives that they blame their lack of objects, housing, jobs, wives etc on people with a different skin colour...there are still 70% of us who are not racist fools.

Dont be polite. Call out racism.
