About this listen
James Clverly has weighed in on the debate over whether multiculturalism has succeeded or failed in the UK.
Speaking to Gloria de Piero he said: "My worry about the idea of multiculturalism is that we have multiple cultures. And I don't buy that because my view is, is the British culture is by definition multifaceted.
"There's always been multiple elements to it. And if we recognize that, we can actually say, you can be British and proudly British and you should be proudly British, and your religion is not necessarily defining factor.
"Your ethnic heritage is not necessarily a defining factor. And the reason I think it's so important is because then it allows us to say we have pretty wide parameters. We're a pretty open and liberal society. But there are rules. Abide by the rules. And you know what? Be who you want to be. Don't abide by the rules. We have a problem."
