GB News is facing a backlash after a commentator on one of its shows suggested there is “a genocide happening” against white people in England and that immigrants could “turn” on the white population.
Ofcom, the media regulator, has received a series of complaints about the comments by Thomas Corbett-Dillon.
Corbett-Dillon, who worked on Penny Mordaunt’s unsuccessful Conservative party leadership campaign and who also claims to have advised Boris Johnson, appeared on GB News’s US-based Late Show Live last week.
During a discussion about the UK government’s anti-extremism strategy, Corbett-Dillon said: “I hate this idea that England is just a no man’s land. No, there is an indigenous population that have lived on that island for thousands of years.
“If this was happening in any other place around the world, everyone would be defending and saying: ‘Wow, there’s a genocide happening in this island because it is being taken over by different people that are not indigenous to that land.’”
Later on, responding to a former Liberal Democrat councillor who said he was proud to come from Leicester, Corbett-Dillon said “once again, another country is being turned into a no longer white nation”.
Would be nice of you to link sources. This is not a criticism, as I too am a jam-first person.
Sorry, it’s a metric shit-tonne of papers and I’m too lazy and otherwise committed to post them here. There are YouTube vids that summarise some of the findings, but (as always with vids) you need to be careful to separate the science from the bullshit. I’ll see if I can find a few good entry-point papers, but I make no promises.
Jam-first solidarity. Proper job!
This is one entry point. Here’s a suprisingly good summary, considering it’s from Sky: https://news.sky.com/story/where-do-we-come-from-britains-dna-map-10367199
The more detailed summary of the actual reseach done at Oxford: https://peopleofthebritishisles.web.ox.ac.uk/population-genetics
And here’s the actual paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/nature14230
The paper also includes some excellent citations.
Nice, thanks!
