The gist of Candace Owen's comments in this video are really quite close to establishment British opinion right up until 1939 and to a large degree afterwards. And this is a significant element in British fascism and colonial apologia.
Let's take her comment on declining (white) British birth rates first. Increasing birth rates was a significant feature of the 1945 Conservative manifesto on which 'depends the life of Britain and her enduring glory'.
