52. 2:03emulate Crime Free with a generous
53. 2:05welfare system free health care and free
54. 2:08college
55. 2:09education but that Sweden was a cohesive
56. 2:12Society based on shared values one
57. 2:14language and social solidarity no longer
58. 2:18today the Swedish dream looks more like
59. 2:20a Swedish nightmare over 2 million of
60. 2:23Sweden 10 million people are now foreign
61. 2:25born more than double the number in 2000
62. 2:28this experiment has not gone well Sweden
63. 2:31now has the highest rate of gang
64. 2:33killings in Europe several areas are
65. 2:35officially classified as especially
66. 2:37vulnerable meaning areas where it is
67. 2:39very difficult for the police to operate
68. 2:42the governor of the bank of Sweden told
69. 2:44the financial times the growing crime
70. 2:46problem is so serious it risks damaging
71. 2:48the country's long-term economic growth
72. 2:51the problem is not confined to Sweden
73. 2:54all over Europe crime is up sharply one
74. 2:56of the primary reasons is
75. 2:58multiculturalism
76. 3:00in Britain hundreds of thousands of
77. 3:02young women and girls have suffered
78. 3:04horribly at the hands of so-called
79. 3:06grooming gangs groups of men from ethnic
80. 3:09minority backgrounds who Target
81. 3:11vulnerable girls for sexual abuse when
82. 3:13this abuse is reported to the
83. 3:15authorities instead of bringing the
84. 3:17perpetrators to Justice these crimes are
85. 3:19covered up by social workers police
86. 3:21officers and the local government
87. 3:23officials who are afraid of being called
88. 3:25racist the only way multi-ethnic
89. 3:28societies can work is if if we all play
90. 3:30by the same rules and live by the same
91. 3:32basic moral values people like me who
92. 3:35come from other places must be
93. 3:37encouraged to assimilate immigrants must
94. 3:40learn the language adapt to local
95. 3:42customs and become full citizens with
96. 3:44both rights and
97. 3:46responsibilities the owner should be on
98. 3:48the Immigrant not the host country in my
99. 3:51doctor's office in East London I
100. 3:53regularly encounter paperwork that's
101. 3:55been translated into a dozen languages
102. 3:57it's not what a similation looks like
103. 4:00when I first moved to England my parents
104. 4:02discovered that I had made friends with
105. 4:03other Russian speaking kids at my school
106. 4:06well they said if that carries on will
107. 4:08have to find you a new school you didn't
108. 4:10come here to be a Russian in Britain
109. 4:12they explained you came here to be
110. 4:15British does what I'm saying sound
111. 4:17controversial if it does you might be
112. 4:20surprised to hear that the former German
113. 4:22Chancellor Angela Merkel admitted this
114. 4:24truth back in 2010 when she said
115. 4:27multiculturalism has utterly failed
116. 4:29failed a year later former British Prime
117. 4:32Minister David Cameron said the same
118. 4:34thing so did former French president
119. 4:36Nicolas aosi and former Spanish
120. 4:38president Jose Maria asna
121. 4:41multiculturalism has failed in Europe
122. 4:43not because we did it badly but because
123. 4:45it's a bad idea it will fail in the US
124. 4:48for the same reason we either stand as
125. 4:51one nation United by a common purpose
126. 4:53and common values or we fall as
127. 4:56competing tribes diversity is not our
128. 4:58greatest strength
