On November 21st, an X account under the name “Ms. G” provoked controversy when she quoted another post by saying, “who’s colonised now BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Her post ended up getting more than 600K likes. The post that “Ms. G” quoted states, “Indians now own more property in London than native white Britons”. A remarkable statistic, but is it true?
The original post was made by “Pubity”, which markets itself as a page for “informative, entertaining and breaking news”. However, it did not provide any evidence for the claim that “Indians now own more property in London than native white Britons”.
When I searched for this statement on Google, all the links were to questionable news sites, many based in India. What’s more, at least one of the links was to an article from 2022, making the very same claim. Several of the articles I came across ‘quoted’ the property developer Barratt London:
Indians make up the largest group of property owners in london, represented by those who have lived in the U.K. for generations, NRIs, foreign investors, students and families who come to the U.K. for education. [The lower-case ‘l’ in London is in the original.]
However, when I searched for this exact statement on Google, I was unable to find any report or press release by Barratt London. Once again, all the links were to questionable news sites and social media pages.
Even if we use the broadest possible definition of ‘Indians’ to mean anyone of Indian background or nationality, it is highly implausible that “Indians now own more property in London than native white Britons”.
As of 2021, 36.8% of London’s population identifies as White British, compared to only 7.5% that identifies as Indian. While Indians in London have a higher home ownership rate than white Britons, the difference is relatively small – 66% versus 59%. Multiplying the population shares by the home ownership rates, the number of White British homeowners in London is more than four times larger than the number of Indian homeowners.
What about wealthy foreigners who own propert in London? Non-residents reportedly own less than 3% of homes in the capital – and that’s all non-residents, not just Indians. Even if we assume that all foreign homeowners are Indian, the number of white British homeowners would still be almost three times larger than the number of Indian homeowners.
Could the claim be correct if it referred to the total value of homes, rather than the total number? It’s extremely unlikely. Indians are concentrated in the western periphery of London, as well as in the boroughs of Newham and Redbridge. By contrast, the most expensive properties in London are found in the boroughs of Richmond, Fulham, Kensington, Chelsea, Westminster and the City. None of these boroughs has a large Indian population. For example, only 2.2% of people in Fulham and Kensington identify as Indian.
The single wealthiest landlord in London is the Duke of Westminster, a white British man, who owns around 300 acres of Belgravia and Mayfair, comprising some of the most expensive real estate in the world.
The claim that sparked the viral post by “Ms. G” is almost certainly false. The articles to which it can be traced are all on questionable news sites, and back-of-the-envelope calculations suggest it’s highly implausible.

who’s colonized now BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does that mean that these extraordinarily wonderful and amazingly brilliant people have an intention to colonise Britain? (And have I mentioned how extraordinarily wonderful and amazingly brilliant all immigrants are?)
Well it seems this is just another agenda the kids are being indoctrinated about in school;
”A new book for children indoctrinates them into thinking refugees are all wonderful.
We’ll quickly gloss over terrorism, grooming gangs, misogynistic attitudes, crime, the cost to the British taxpayer, & every day loss of trust in society. ”

Let’s talk about the ”cultural enrichers”. Did we hear much about so-called ”honour killings”, or ”Allahu Akbar” stabbings and sexual assaults on a daily basis back in the ’80s, for instance? The data will be out there somewhere and I’ve seen the correlation in other countries between immigration and these types of crimes increasing over the years.
When this story from Vienna broke yesterday it was reported as a suspected abduction of a newborn baby from a maternity ward, but the mother has since confessed. So yes, women do in fact perform ”honour killings” too. This is just evil beyond words but this is the culture we’re importing in the West;
”The discovery of a newborn’s body in a trash container near Vienna’s Favoriten Clinic has sent shockwaves through the city, as details emerge suggesting the tragic death was an honor killing rather than a result of postpartum depression.
The lifeless body of Melek, a 10-day-old baby girl, was found last Thursday in a yellow waste bin near the hospital where she had been receiving care as a premature infant.
Initially suspected to be a case of postpartum depression, police revealed on Sunday that the child’s death was instead motivated by family disputes over “injured honor” within the family’s Turkish clan, as reported by Kronen Zeitung.
During police interrogations, the 30-year-old mother of the child confessed to the crime, citing “family problems” as her motive. The mother, who is not married to the child’s father, reportedly faced severe pressure from her family due to the baby’s illegitimacy, a situation perceived as dishonorable within their community.
Initially thought to have frozen to death, Melek’s autopsy results revealed the horrific extent of the infant’s suffering. She died from blunt force trauma, sustaining massive traumatic brain injuries and multiple bone fractures. This chilling evidence indicated that the baby was brutally beaten to death before being discarded.
Born prematurely, Melek required round-the-clock care from hospital staff. On Thursday morning, she vanished from her crib in the neonatal unit of the Favoriten Clinic. A frantic search followed, culminating in the mother leading investigators to the waste bin outside the hospital grounds.”

It is hardly surprising. Indian and Pakistani immigrants used to work long hours in the 1970s with the precise purpose of buying houses. They came here to make money and were enticed to come here by the promise of money. The natives just assumed that their leaders would always have a natural bias towards them. One can ask why this was ever an assumption but back then things didn’t feel quite so predatory. It is a lack of vigilance it is just human oh so human.
So what was the point of Noah Carl’s article, if not to crush all opposition to the Globalist-engineered Third World Invasion of the West?
Here’s a more interesting article on Indians-from-India in the US:
How Indian Americans Came to Run Half of All U.S. Motels
“A majority of these owners are from Gujarat state’s industrious Patel community, leading them to be jokingly referred to as the Patel Motel Cartel.”
In other words, ONE FAMILY NAMED PATEL now owns HALF of all US MOTELS.
So let’s look more carefully at Indian Subcontinental ownership of property in London, and indeed everywhere in Britain…
Remember what the great Ethnic African “Father of the Kenyan Nation” Jomo Kenyatta said, just before he kicked all the Indian Subcontinentals out of Kenya in the 1970s, quickly followed by Tanzania & Uganda, who agreed with him. Nobody ever called him “racist” for ethnically cleansing his African country to protect his own African people.
He said, “THERE ARE TOO MANY TICKS ON THE LION’S BELLY!”
It is very simple if a group based on strong familial or tribal identity enters a country where no such identity exists it isn’t rocket science to see where this leads. When was such a distinction ever posited to a mainstream audience so that they might think about it? You can’t expect your average middle class person to have considered this. The predator class know the paths of predation very well but they are hardly likely to tell you about them.
Yes, and people from the Indian Subcontinent are voracious predators, which is why the Africans kicked them out of three African countries in the 1970s. And did all those Indian Subcontinentals return to their own ancestral homeland to build it up into a great nation, after they had shrieked and rioted to gain “independence”?
No, they did not. They all swarmed into the West, and immediately started doing the same thing they did in Africa, and places like Fiji: colluding together to buy up everything in sight and trample the Indigenous underfoot.
As someone once said, “They come here with one aim: to install themselves and their offspring into the Ruling Class.”
One Indian immigrant to Canada had a different motivation. He said he came to get away from his own fellow Indians in India, because all they cared about was Sex and Money. But they all followed him to Canada.
This is easily discerned by looking at business practices in corner shops. Or sweat shops where they employ undocumented seamstresses to work for less than a pound an hour. We don’t just allow predator classes in we invite them in because it suits the agenda.
“We” the ordinary people have NEVER “invited them in”, because we have no “agenda”.
The Globalists invited them for The Great Replacement, starting with The Windrush Lie.
Almost certainly false? So, possibly true too. Mealy mouthed ‘journalists’. I detest them.
I had an ‘Indian’ friend at school. A very nice and intelligent guy with a Scottish surname (!), born and brought up in London, as English as I am. I hope he is doing well.
Ms. G should be happy that India was colonized since she would otherwise have to throw herself on her husband’s funeral pyre when he died.
If your Ethnic Indian Subcontinental friend is “as English” as you are,
then you aren’t.
