Nigel Farage made the comments during an interview with the BBC

Nigel Farage made headlines earlier this week when he claimed there were streets in Oldham where nobody spoke the English language. The comment was made during an interview with BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.

Indeed, Sarosh, who has lived in the Glodwick community for over 20 years, feels it's the native languages of the large South Asian community in Oldham that are endangered."My kids speak English, I have no education from this country and even I speak English! Everybody can speak English.The youth of Oldham is something Adila Rafa knew all about.

“I can believe that," he said. "As a white guy there are certain areas of Oldham where I don’t feel safe. Obviously there are other white people there, but it feels very hostile. “I’ve been in this area for over ten years now, community wise it’s really good, friendly and everybody knows each other. “I have got clientele that are judges, barristers, NHS workers, my brother is a doctor himself. Everything is going here as normal.”
