I too grew up in Bradford. Most of my family still live there. In Bradford there is no multi cultural problem. There is an Islamic problem. Inner city schools close on Friday afternoons. Pubs are now only common in the suburbs. You will only get a decent meal if it’s curry. A lot of the decadent curry restaurants are built with the proceeds of drug money. The same with phone shops, ice cream parlours, barber shops, toy shops, candy stores, vape shops, many of which don’t open til midday. Then there’s the thriving limousine hire companies with millions of pounds worth of stock in a bankrupt town. In the 80’s Bradford was booming. The night life far surpassed the larger neighbouring town of Leeds. Now it’s a desolate wasteland. Not because of multi culturalism. Because of Islam. The promise of young Muslims recognising the benefits of the West and assimilating has backfired spectacularly. They are far more radical than their grandparents. The hijab, now seemingly mandatory amongst female Muslims, was not a thing when I was younger. I believe it has been adopted as a symbol of their independence from British culture. They enjoy the benefits, shopping, cinema, afternoon tea at The Ivy in Leeds, but they dislike the country and this garment, in my opinion, is designed to let you know.

This is the future. Economically redundant and oppressive if you are not a Muslim. A state governed by family ties and tribalism. A government captured by cronyism and corruption, where politicians are in hock to drug barons and gangsters.

We are fast becoming a minority in our own country. We are fast becoming a Islamic republic we allow Muslims to become elected representives in spite of them being unable/unwilling to represent infidels (IE non Muslims) because of their faith. They being allowed to break the law, the Representation of the People's Act which requires elected officials to represent all their constituents. The establishment is allowing this to happen.

And Gaza is nothing to do with us. They should not be able to stand. Personally I think Islam is so at odds with everything that makes this country function, democracy, justice, the civil service, that if any individual expresses overt adherence to it they should be disqualified from any public office, role in the judiciary, elected role and any position that has any power or responsibility in the running of the state.

Such refreshing honesty from one who’s been there & seen it. Thank you Colin. If only more of our veteran broadcasters could be as honest with their viewers

We are furious too. We will have our country back. The roots of Christianity are SO deep . The blossom has started, the fruit is coming.

I absolutely agree with Colin - there is no globalist conspiracy, it’s all just miserable groupthink. Having grown up in the high trust society of the 60/70s, in an Irish immigrant household I might add, I find the nihilistic attitude of today’s British elite so desperate and sad. We had it all and have thrown it away and for no good reason. Our world was so free, open, safe and easy to exist in - a world that the youth of today couldn’t even begin to comprehend. Yet we lived during the so called Cold War where Nuclear missiles were only ever three minutes away - we never seemed too excessively bothered about it. I often wonder if that external threat was the necessary glue for the success of our society. That the constant preparedness for conflict always draws people together and encourages integration, cooperation and an aptitude for hard work - the very building blocks of a respectful, high trust world?

Over the past year I began examining a recurring constitutional question:

What happens when equal protection under law remains formally intact, but its practical application becomes increasingly inconsistent?

The first volume of The Purpose of Law explores recurring patterns across safeguarding, public order, procedural fairness, lawful expression, and institutional discretion.

The central concern is not political ideology, but whether delayed recognition of harm, inconsistent enforcement, and expanding discretion are gradually weakening public trust in the legal framework itself.

The paper does not argue for new laws. It asks whether existing legal protections are being applied consistently enough to preserve confidence in equal protection under law.

If anyone working in law, governance, academia, public policy, or institutional accountability is interested, I’m happy to share the paper privately.

Sounds interesting.

I hope you can can find resources and collaborators to explore this issue, and look forward to accessing the results in due course.

TBH It’s an uphill struggle & as I continued with the research I wrote Vol II because it became increasingly difficult to treat emerging constitutional concerns as isolated institutional failures.

Wondering if this year’s 25th anniversary, with the demographic and empathetic changes, will be the usual sombre remembrance, or a celebration.

I would rather have a Muslim in my house than a murderous Zionist Jew. Look at the numbers. The West slaughters 100’s 1000’s with impunity and yet the terrorists are Islam

Funded by Zionist Israel !!!!! Mossad 100%

I'm from Huddersfield so I know what you mean about Bradford. Huddersfield is almost as bad now.

Castle Hill in Huddersfield was burnt down last year it's where the Muslims go to smoke weed.

The only hope we have is Rupert Lowe. I don't know if he can do it. He does more than most polaritians now so I hope and pray he can do something.

I used to go out to a Rock club in Bradford in the late 80s early 90s.

Thank goodness I don't have to walk through there now. It's a different place!
