"Immigrants Really Are Colonizing the UK" (Video)

In this 13 February 2026 published heretics video, host Andrew Gold.talks with Dr. Paul Morland, a prominet British demographer, author and broadcaster, knowm for his research on how population trends shape global politics, economics, and social structures. He is often described as one of the world’s leading experts on the impact of falling fertility rates and aging societies.

He warns of a “population calamity” caused by birth rates falling below replacement levels, leading to labor shortages, pension crises, and economic stagnation. He is a vocal advocate for “progressive pro-natalism,” suggesting that societies must change their cultural attitudes toward parenthood to restore fertility rates. He argues that large, growing populations historically drove the success of nations like Britain and America by providing both labor and consumer markets.

From his refugee family story to why he thinks Britain’s confidence has collapsed, we get into birth rates, immigration, demographic change, housing, childcare, taxes, culture, assimilation, and the question nobody wants asked out loud. We also talk AI replacing workers, the pressure on young families, and what a realistic future could look like without sliding into either extreme.

Also referenced is an early February 202 6interview when Sir James Arthur Ratcliffe, a British billionaire, chemical engineer, and businessman, sparked a significant political and public outcry following an interview with Sky News, He claimed the UK has been “colonised by immigrants” and suggested they are a drain on state resources. He also claimed the UK population had risen by 12 million in four years (to 70 million), a figure disputed by the Office for National Statistics, which estimated the mid-2024 population at approximately 70 million from 67 million in 2020
