NYC has roughly the same stats - 40% of the residents there are foreign-born.

What was more troubling to me was that he called the Tommy Robinson rallies "heartwarming". TR was a member of an explicitly fascist, white nationalist party.

On top of that, he has written some really vile things about transgender people.
