Saying that Indians are the "new Jews" of the United Kingdom, Tory Lord Jeffrey Archer recently predicted that an Indian will one day rise to become prime minister of the country.

 
The former deputy chairman of the Conservative Party, who has since been sidelined after being jailed for perjury in 2001, on a book tour in India was asked if he foresaw any shifts in Britain. He responded: "Massive. It is going to be taken over by the Indians. And I don't joke... Now what you are doing is what the Jews did 30-40 years ago when they came to England after the war.

"They took over the local councils and they became mayors. Now they are in Parliament. The Indians are now taking over the local councils. There are mayors all over England who are Indian."
