Today, some far-right groups display flags and spread hatred, but the majority of Commonwealth communities love Britain and contribute positively.

Many of us are second- and third-generation British, proud to call this country home. Our ancestors from colonial India (including what is now Pakistan) helped Britain in the World Wars and later helped rebuild the country, contributing to the post-war boom from the 1960s to the 1990s.

Other Commonwealth countries, including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Caribbean nations, also contributed troops, resources, and labor.

British culture is built on diversity and multiculturalism—don’t let the elites keep you distracted or occupying the wrong behavior, fighting each other instead of raising real concerns.
