Paddy Pimblett – “Immigrants have landed in this country an took over full areas”

In a now-deleted Twitter comment, MMA fighter Paddy Pimblett claimed that “Immigrants have landed in this country an took over full areas” when referring to immigration in his home country of England, UK. Originally, this comment was in reply to a Sky News story whereby an immigrant had claimed “This is a place for animals – not for human beings”

Pimblett also went on to say how “Some places don’t even speak English” and questioned whether this was good for his country. Although Pimblett is mostly viewed as a charismatic speaker, these comments have been met with criticism among his fans. For the most part, his views on immigration have remained low-profile, for now at least. However, the idea that parts of England have been ‘taken over’ by immigrants is quite a questionable stance to have. Since joining the UFC, Pimblett was infamously banned from Instagram, where he branded the Meta owner Mark Zuckerberg a lizard as a result.
