No, neither for nor against this:
The most recently published official figures for the ethnic make-up of the population come from the 2011 census. It found that 86pc of people in England and Wales were white, down from more than 94pc in 2001. That matches the current workforce statistics for this year, which show just under 14pc of those in work or looking for work are from ethnic minorities.
But it is one hell of a change, isn’t it? 8 percent of population in only 10 years. 8% is about the level of white population in South Africa for example.
One hell of a change.
It’s almost worth asking who was asked about this?
14%? So why’s BT setting a target of 25% non-white employees?

Can’t be anything else but racist.
Thank you so much.
Race riots like those in America could start here, says a report by the Youth Service Development Council, if young coloured immigrants are not “integrated swiftly into society”. This may be right or wrong, but since such integration (what precisely does it mean, anyhow?) is no more than a remote possibility, we had better prepare ourselves.
In a few years’ time, as we sit smoking our legalised hashish and watching our colour television sets, vaguely hearing the howling of the mob and the crackling of flames approaching from the distance, we must not forget to say a heartfelt “thank you” to all those who will have made it possible.
To the politicians of all parties and the civil Servants who quite unnecessarily allowed vast numbers of unassimilable immigrants to pour into this country and pretend nothing untoward was happening; to the conspirators who did not mind what was happening so long as it helped to mess up England; to the progressive thinkers who assured everybody that all would be well if we would only be nice to each other – and that if we were not nice to each other, then we could be made to be nice to each other by law.
To the professional ‘integrationists’ who hold that anyone who believes there is any difference between one race and another is a Nazi; to the journalists who even now, write solemn articles about psychopathic racial agitators as if they were responsible statesmen.
We must say thank you in fact, to all those who knowingly or unknowingly arranged this interesting little sociological experiment on the English people.

Is it a genuine shift or merely another problem with self id? People shifting from “I can pass” to “I’m proud of my ethnicity/I want to be more exotic”?
That segment is cutted and pasted from the first paragraph of the ONS report. Further down it issues a caveat
Over the last two decades England and Wales became more ethnically diverse. Caution is needed when comparing census ethnic data over the years due to changes and increases in tick boxes and changes to how the question was worded (change from cultural to ethnic background).

Demographic change….Number of Muslims…year of census
1961 – 50,000
1971 – 226,000
1981 – 553,000
1991 – 950,000
2001 – 1,600,000
2011 – 2,706,000
2017 (estimate) 3,373,000
In % of the population that’s from 0.11% in 1961 to 5.17% in 2017
in 2017, Olivia Rudgard writing in the Telegraph estimated that by 2050, the Muslim population of the UK could be 13,000,000.
The massive demographic change is, despite the claims of the activists, nether natural nor inevitable; it is an engineered assault on the British people – with most of the burden being inflicted on the English.
Why? Because the Establishment wishes it.
We need a new Establishment.
We need rid of the established Establishment. Whether we need a new one is a different matter.
We need to start defending ourselves and our nation.
Start by ignoring Johnsons virus/vax lies and esp any LD BS the bastard has to peddle.
Say NO and stick to it. And help each other everywhere we can.
I would suggest towing the boatloads of illegals back to France. But of course that would mean that they’d just get a ‘temporary’ visa and come to the UK anyway. And then when they wouldn’t go home, where they’re not wanted anyway, the pollies would be directly to blame.
If UKBF/HMG’s active facilitation of foreign invasion is not treasonable, then what is? But, really, most people don’t care. If the polls are slightly believable, then Owen Paterson gets voters’ goats more than Border Force trojan horses do.
Andrew C @ 9.28. It won’t take ANYWHERE near that long – “And although the exact dynamics will depend on many factors, she has shown it takes around 3.5% of the population actively participating in the protests to ensure serious political change”: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20190513-it-only-takes-35-of-people-to-change-the-world.
These bastards will be definitely “actively participating” once the imams have had a word during Friday prayers.
The demographic profile of the young is the profile of the future UK. That is clearly a towards having a much higher non-white proportion than in the population as a whole right now. Some age groups are already c.25% ethnic minorities. I’d guess we are headed for 50/50 non-white/white in the long run.

“I’d guess we are headed for 50/50 non-white/white in the long run”: optimist. Maybe a few whites will hang on in Scotland or Wales?
Dearieme,
Have you seen the TFR figures for Scotland? 1.29 children per woman. That’s even worse than Japan (1.31), which used to be the poster child for fertility collapse.

On the plus side, third world establishments do tend to be killed quite often. These twats don’t realise what they’re playing with.

Mark Steyn has been saying this for years (decades?). But many people can’t believe what they don’t want to believe.
Is it not the case that Black people are almost all in London, and that Muslim and Hindu sub-continental folks live in London and a quite small number of cities around the country? In fact diversity is rare in a geographical sense. In the sticks you never see (well, hardly ever) an identifiable minority person. No sign of assimilation going on when they self-select into ghettoes.
Oh, and white people have kids out here too.

Is it not the case that Black people are almost all in London, and that Muslim and Hindu sub-continental folks live in London and a quite small number of cities around the country?”
In Birmingham Hodge Hill and Bradford West, as per the 2011 census, Muslims are already a majority.
There are over 20 constituencies with at least a 20% Muslim population (number when I was born = 0) and 80 in total where it’s at least 10% (number when I was born = 0).
That is residents rather than voters as it includes minors and of course was 10 years ago.
Rhoda, we
escapedmoved out of the multicultural utopia that is East London (It could be north,south or west equally)to the Essex sunshine coast where there were no (a statistically insignificant less than 0.1%)at that time, ethnics. Now there are loads. This is the issue. Some people choose to live in an ethnically diverse environment but then move out of the ethnically diverse environment they desired because it has turned into a carbon copy third world shithole (because it ALWAYS does). They then move to another area that isn’t ethnically diverse but will once again, turn it into a third world shithole.“Is it not the case that Black people are almost all in London, and that Muslim and Hindu sub-continental folks live in London and a quite small number of cities around the country?”
Yeah well, the Romano-Britons kept the Anglo-Saxons penned in reservations for a few decades but lost just the same.
One of the few things we can be certain of about census data is that much of it is now wrong. Millions of people have slipped below the radar because they didn’t wish to be counted – not all of them were illegals, but of course all illegals don’t want to be counted.
Non-whites are definitely under-counted in official stats.
The huge change is due to Blair’s ‘rub their noses in multi-culti’ open borders policy
The Blairite ‘Not the Conservative’ party have continued it
We need a Thatcher, Reagan or Trump type PM to reverse the woke green marxist takeover. Meanwhile China, Russia, India etc are openly laughing at us
Almost every problem we’re suffering can be attributed to Blair era
@Andrew C, December 2, 2021 at 9:28 am
Thanks for numbers
@rhoda
Around here, suburb of 500,000 city, I see at most two non-white per day. Zero today inc in supermarket and pub
The change was largely, but only partially, due to immigration as the number of UK residents in 2011 who were born abroad was 3 million higher than in 2001 but a large minority, not quite a majority, of these came from Eastern Europe thanks to Blair’s well-meaning acceptance of “free movement” when Germany did not. The children of such immigrants post-arrival are included in the minority ethnic data at 2011 but not in the “born abroad” data.
The balance is due to the higher fertility rate of ethnic minorities and the offspring of couples only one of whom is white.
