Unless things change, and change fast, the population of the UK will be permanently transformed by mass immigration. White Britons will become a minority by the year 2063. The foreign-born and their immediate descendants will become a majority by 2079. And nearly one in four people in the UK will be following Islam by the year 2100; this figure would rise to around one in three among under-40s.
Many people struggle to make sense of the pace and scale of these changes. They ask how a nation can be transformed this fast without the consent of the governed.
But, last week, brand new data from the Office for National Statistics has made it abundantly clear that these trends are already well underway.
The findings are indeed shocking: more than one in three babies that were born in England and Wales last year have mothers who were not born in the UK; this rises to more than 40% for babies in England, a record high and up by nearly 10-points in less than a decade. …
This issue goes to the heart of our democracy: we didn’t vote for this. We have a political system and a ruling class that is no longer responsive to an electorate that has, for much of the last thirty years, been consistent in asking for less immigration and slower demographic change. …
Mass immigration also matters, secondly, for a more profound reason: it changes how we talk and think about things like Britishness and Englishness. With the foreign-born and their descendants now forecast to become a majority on these islands by the year 2079, the country will now be reshaped around a population that has a much “thinner” sense of national identity. …
These challenges will be compounded by the fact that the foreign-born now often hail not from Europe but radically different, if not incompatible cultures, from Pakistan and Afghanistan to Iraq.
The more babies who are born in the UK to mothers and fathers from such backgrounds, the more likely it is that the norms, traditions, religions and ways of life from these nations will be transplanted to England and Wales. …
As things stand, many of our leaders would rather cross their fingers and hope that this radical experiment with mass uncontrolled immigration works out.
But there are good reasons to think it will not, and those reasons are becoming increasingly visible by the day.
Worth reading in full.

This commentary bears resemblance to an email doing the rounds several years ago. In short, it suggested that Muslims would be the only group in the world continuing to produce children, hence a Muslim world. At the time, most people probably dismissed it out of hand, but mass migration is certainly encouraging that view.
My kids have dual citizenship. For years, I have been telling them to get out of NZ and go and live in the UK. Now, that would seem to be jumping from the frying pan into the fire.
It is a huge betrayal of the sacrifices of WW2 in particular. Churchill would be distraught. British high blown principles of equality, insignificance of religion etc are not admired by others, simply exploited to hasten their domination.
The UK doesn’t have this on their own. The face of NZ is also rapidly changing, largely influenced by Asian immigrants. April 25 recorded the arrival of 145,000 immigrants with the departure of a 123,700. The departures have not been banned from returning one day.
Unemployment has risen to 5.1% representing 156,000 and a further 234,000 are under utilised, meaning, these people have jobs but not enough hours. Is there anyone in the Beehive concerned?
What are the Benefit and Super rights of returners? Unless vey compromised, most will return. The free schooling and health attracted many in the first place. Do elderly claimed relatives, having qualified, retain benefits when the triggering source departs?
