When a Sky News reporter recently accused Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko of being an “undemocratic” leader who cannot tolerate criticism, he chose to counterattack harshly.
– You used to be an empire, but now your subjects have come in and are ruling you, the president said.
During the press conference, which took place in January, Lukashenko was very clear that he does not pay much attention to the accusations and criticism coming from the British establishment, and that they should focus more on reviewing developments in their own country.
– In your country, you are not only allowed to criticize the government but also to slander it as you please, and you have reached the point where you were recently ruled by an Indian.
– Why am I saying this? Is because when I met the English, I told them that you are doing a great job. You used to be an empire, but now your subjects have come in and are ruling you. Strange of Britain, and our oddity is that the government is not being criticized?
The Belarusian President challenged a Sky News reporter, saying, “You got to a point where you were recently ruled by an Indian. Why am I saying this?”
“You used to be an empire, and now your subordinates have come in and are ruling you.”

Indians own most property in London
Like many other countries in the Western world, the UK has been hit hard for decades by mass immigration and population exchange policies – not least from former colonies in Africa and Asia.
Although Britons of European descent are still in the majority in the country as a whole, the situation is different in many parts of the UK, where cities and neighborhoods are now completely dominated by people with an immigrant background.
According to the BBC, white Britons now make up a minority of the population in the capital, London – and in the second largest city, Birmingham, the situation is similar. Just last year, it was also reported that Indians now own a larger share of property in the capital than ethnic Britons – and that there is no sign of this trend reversing.
