The Spectator reaches a new low publishing this far right poison. You expect that shite from Shriver - but what are the editors thinking giving it the nod? Also the irony of an privilege white American (Karen) calling out the diversity of Britons as a bad thing? Heh. Really?
What has happened to this country that such utter white supremacist bullshit is allowed to be mainstreamed. It is utterly unacceptable.

(7,949 posts)With Andrew Neil as its publisher and Fraser Nelson as its editor, this seems like par for the course among the UK soft-in-the-head right.
The Spectator has long published the ravings of the supporter of Greece's Golden Dawn, the US's Proud Boys and the Nazi Wehrmacht Taki Theodoracopulos (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taki_Theodoracopulos ), among many other unhinged attention-seeking mental misfits, so Shriver fits right in.

(41,305 posts)They have Taki Theodorocopulos as a writer, who is basically a fascist (supported Golden Dawn). And the vile Rod Liddle. And others!
Many of the Spectator articles could be described as Katie-Hopkins-for-toffs.
As for Lionel Shriver, this is ridiculous stuff; and she's foreign-born herself if it comes to that!
And who are the UK's 'original inhabitants'? We don't have original inhabitants; we weren't one of the places where humans first evolved. EVERYONE here is descended from immigrants at one point or another.
