“When I was a Revolutionary Marxist, we were all in favour of as much immigration as possible. It wasn’t because we liked immigrants, but because we didn’t like Britain. … Also, we liked to feel oh, so superior to the bewildered people … who found their neighbourhoods suddenly transformed into supposedly ‘vibrant communities’. If they dared express the mildest objections, we called them bigots. … I have learned since what a spiteful, self-righteous, snobbish and arrogant person I was … I have felt deeply, hopelessly sorry that I did and said nothing in defence of those whose lives were turned upside down, without their ever being asked…” (Peter Hitchens, 2013)
