The Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, has spoken out against rise in popularity of anti-immigration political parties. Holding the second-most senior position in the worldwide Anglican Communion, Dr Sentamu blamed the problem on a perceived failure to support the “indigenous population”.
In particular, the Archbishop highlighted that some local government policies seemingly gave the impression that migrants were being favoured over people of native British origin.
Despite pointing this out, he also told how he knew all too well that the issue was far more “complicated”.
