Sunder Katwala, who runs British Future, a thinktank dealing with immigration, race and identity issues, has posted on Bluesky about what he thinks Ratcliffe should have said. 44 Jim Ratcliffe has issued a bland and generic statement about economic policy which does not engage at all with what he got wrong, or why saying the UK has been colonised has been legitimately criticised. Nor does he seem to retract his language of colonisation in gesturing towards a semi-apology 44 TRY: “I regret saying that UK has been colonised by immigration, I understand that was the wrong language to use. I can see how that has detracted from what I see as the substantive issue: jobs, growth, welfare and well-managed migration for the benefit of all, which I hope to engage with better”
it was a weak apology from a weak man so no surprise it was enough for No 10.
The rest of us though, who aren't small racist shits....
