I think he makes an interesting point.
The problem I have is that you can't force people to integrate, and even if you could does that mean that Brits should be forced to integrate with the locals when we go on holiday or live in another country? Should Brits in Dubai be forced to go to the Mosque on a Friday? Give up alcohol?
The other problem is how you actually do this. It's all very well as a soundbite saying that the government should end their multicultural policy, but I bet he wouldn't have the balls to do it if he became leader of the Tories, and PM.
However, he does say some things which I agree with, namely:

"Britain has a proud history of tolerance towards people of different views, faiths and backgrounds. But we should not flinch from demanding the same tolerance and respect for the British way of life."
