Indians are the 'new Jews' of Britain, which will one day day be ruled by an Indian prime minister, according to disgraced Tory peer Lord Archer.
Archer, who is touring India to promote his latest book, said Indian businessmen are 'taking over' Britain and that Indian mayors and councillors are taking over local government throughout the country.
His comments were made following a number of Indian takeovers of major British companies, such as Jaguar, Land Rover, Corus Steel and the Scottish whisky gian Whyte and Mackay.
In a television interview staged in a glitzy new shopping malls near Delhi, Archer said India's impact on Britain will be 'massive'.
"It is going to be taken over by Indians, and I don't joke," he said.
"Now what you [Indians] are doing is what the Jews did 30-40 years ago when the came to England after the war.
"They took over the local councils and they became mayors. Now they are in Parliament.
"The Indians are now taking over the local councils. There are mayors all over England who are Indian.
"You are young enough to live to an Indian prime minister in England," he said.
The number of Indians living in UK according to 2001 Census is 1,051,800.
The interview took place at a bookshop in a mall in Gurgaon, a new city outside Delhi, where Lord Archer was promoting his latest book 'A Prisoner of Birth'.
The novel is based on the time the former Conservative Party deputy chairman spent in Belmarsh Prison after being sentenced in 2001 to years in jail for perjury and intending to pervert the course of justice.
Hindus absolutely DESPISE Muslims, whose Moghul empire killed millions of Hindus and destroyed all their temples in northern India. Also, the horrors of the 1947 partition of India are still in living memory.
Would be interesting to know if, for Jews and Christians in Britain, the Hindus are an example of “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”.
Indians in Britain can’t be happy about the militant Sharia muzzies and their murderous agenda.
Decent pix here, tho you prolly know about this and other sites....

They have the spiffy mosques, the street demos, the nasty rhetoric and the assorted jihadi terror attack.
Meanwhile, the English gobble Indian food like there’s no tomorrow, while Indian businessmen play the capitalist game as well as the locals.
Presently the most popular food in the UK is curry and the most popular name is Mohammad.
>>The Brits are gonna have to choose cuz the British civilization no longer has the capability to rule themselves
That’s why it’s a good thing the Indians are there to help them out. Just returning a favour, you might say.
Maybe the Indians will remind the English of the importance of the values the English used to have.
The English did do the Indians a favor by wiping out the Thuggee, twice. Maybe the Indians can return the favor with the Muslims.
>>Thuggee, twice
Well, yes, having bandits on the roads of the joint MughalEnglish empire was not conducive to trade.
But, they were isolated in Bengal and were never an existential threat to the EIC, but were useful in helping the British expand their areas of control.
For many years, the best restaurant food in England was Indian. It’s now probably Italian.
A proper gin & tonic is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.
“The Indians seem to assimilate better than some other immigrant groups.”
They have the whole class system thing down.
Make the Brits look like amatuers.
Frankly, I want an Indian for POTUS— Go Bobby Jindal!!!
It’s only fair. I went to India when in the service (not military related — just on vacation).
The English (and now the USA) put an indelible stamp on India that is both good and bad.
Besides the obvious things like Indians (from different areas) speaking English to each other, signs, food, etc, he mannerism of Indian people are otherwise uniquely English in completely goofy ways.
It was very hard to describe.
I think it had to do with the caste system and people copying the occupiers in an attempt to “get ahead.”
Regardless, the Indians are more English than the English in some ways.
>.the caste system
In a historical sense, the British took to the caste system like ducks to water.
The England of that time was as highly class conscious as the Indians.
>very hard to describe.
All you have to do is look at Cricket!
When an Anglophile presents such a splendid response any gentleman must at the least yield in partial compromise . Gin and tonic is far better than no drink at all .
Thuggee - 1857
Exactly my point; two of the most class-driven civilizations in the history of the world bumbling into one another.
“All you have to do is look at Cricket!”
Yep. And the little bureaucratic forms Indians fill out for everything. Moved rooms in my hotel because the A/C was busted. Had to fill out crap in triplicate.
>little bureaucratic forms
Yes, the bane of Indian life! And they aren’t so little sometimes.
I guess the upper class feel more threatened by intelligent members of a hard-working culture than Muslim violence
You see, competition in upper-middle-class fields affects them directly. Bus bombings don't, because the upper class don't ride the bus. Random street violence doesn't affect them either, because they don't walk those neighborhoods
