Thank you for that Damien, I was wondering about the context and how it was truly presented. But, sadly, I am in agreement about the fact that it will be greatly ignored by the gutter press and therefore the uninformed masses will just behave like sheep and believe what they are told to believe.

We need to be put back in our place.
So how does he intend to do that ?????

Is that a better quote for you, btw the corrections are in red.
But, as you well know, that paragraph is pointless when not taken into context the entire article. Or are you proud of a Britain that could sponsor such blatant racism? Something, which many need to be reminded, the war was fought to prevent.
