Mayuran Senthilnathan, a former Reform UK candidate, has pointed that white British residents now make up only 30 percent of the city’s population, caused by growing “black economy” fueled by mass immigration, of a estimated half a million illegal immigrants.
He claimed that mass immigration has moved beyond a matter of policy to a crisis of national identity.
“When you have mass immigration at this level and you have the white demographic declining, you effectively have a cultural apartheid that develops,” Senthilnathan stated.

“London is a city in the throes of a terminal decline, stripped of its British character and paralysed by a reliance on cheap foreign labour”, the former political candidate has warned.
Speaking on the back of comments by Rupert Lowe, Reform UK member of parliament, who suggested London is “quietly dying”, Senthilnathan argued that the “Crown Jewel” of Britain has been “extradited” from the rest of the country.
He challenged the notion of the metropolitan ‘melting pot,’ suggesting instead that the city has fractured into ethnic silos. “You don’t get a melting pot where everyone comes together as one cohesive society. You have one part of London dominated by one ethnic group, another part dominated by another… what happens is you have a low-trust, divisive society.”

Economic and social strain
He asserted that the shadow workforce, combined with immense pressure on public infrastructure, has reportedly left many Londoners feeling alienated from their own services.
Senthilnathan highlighted the strain on the housing sector, noting that half of all social housing in the capital is now headed by individuals born abroad, that is immigrants.
This, he suggested, is compounded by a collapse in law and order, citing 80,000 mobile phone thefts last year and soaring knife crime.
The cost of living was also identified as a factor in the city’s stagnation. With a pint of beer reaching £8, the former candidate described a city that is becoming “unviable” for both residents and small businesses.
‘A drug-addicted economy’
Senthilnathan suggested that successive governments have prioritised free-market economics over cultural preservation, arguing that the UK has become “addicted to cheap foreign labour,” a trend he says began under Margaret Thatcher and was accelerated by Tony Blair.
“Culture has been relegated below economics, but I think culture should be above economics and even at the level of national security,” he said. He further argued that border control must involve “discriminating country by country based on cultural norms,” specifically citing concerns over bringing in individuals from regions where “child marriage” is normalised.

The safety crisis
He also addressed the harrowing rise in violent crime involving asylum seekers.
Reference was made to a recent high-profile case involving two Afghan nationals convicted of raping a teenage girl, a crime some defence lawyers attributed to “cultural differences.”
Senthilnathan alleged that such incidents are becoming a “daily occurrence” due to the housing of illegal migrants in taxpayer-funded hotels. He cited data from the Centre for Migration Control suggesting a significant disproportionality in crime rates among certain migrant groups.
“Every crime committed by an illegal migrant has the fingerprints of Keir Starmer and the Labour government,” he asserted, calling for the immediate detention and deportation of those who “shouldn’t be here.”
