CENSUS BRINGS TERRIFYING NEWS.

Yesterday's news of the latest statistics to be released from the 2011 census make terrifying reading.

 

A report from the Government's statistics bureau, the ONS, told us that the number of foreign born people in our population increased by more than 3 million between 2001 and 2011; at the time of the later census, we apparently had 7.5 million people living in England and Wales who were not born here, representing something like a 65% increase over the 10 years. The majority of these were immigrants from India, Pakistan and Poland.

 

My reason for saying that these figures are terrifying is the enormous effect that such rapid change in our population is having. For any country to try to absorb so many immigrants, few of whom have the English language or culture at the heart of their lives, is next to impossible. We now have cities, such as Leicester and London, in which indigenous British are no longer in a majority; these places have, in effect, become outposts of Warsaw, Delhi or Islamabad.

 

Given this news, we can now only wonder what the next census will bring, if the Government doesn't decide to cancel it. While it is certainly possible that the number of overseas-born people may not rise as rapidly over the coming years, the descendnats of those already here will undoubtedly increase. The effect on our society will be dramatic, possibly so dramatic as to cause stirrings of genuine ethnic conflict.

 

Already, the proportion of our population which describes itself as 'White British' has declined to only 80% of the total; another 10 years will almost certainly see this proportion fall to little more than 70%; the major towns and cities, which is where most immigrants head for, will become more and more 'no-go' zones for the 'White British'. While politicians such as Keith Vaz, an immigrant himself, appear to welcome these changes, what the general population will make of them as the truth dawns is anyones' guess.

 

Released separately is the news that the number of 'parental child abductions' has almost doubled over the last decade. While the BBC's news item on this story fails to mention anything about the ethnicity of the offenders in these cases, it seems likely that the majority involve familes from the Indian sub-continent. The numbers are not huge, rising from 270 in 2003/04 to over 500 so far in 2012, but they can hardly be read separately from the dramatic rise in immigrants that has occurred over the same period.

 

British society as most of those born here have known it for decades is going to hell in a hand-basket. At the same time, our economy and living standards are falling through the floor while our political leaders feed us platitudes. Without question, the best thing any young Brtain can do is get out while they still can, because this country isn't going to fit for them before very long. To paraphrase Sir John Betjeman :

Come friendly bombs and fall on Britain,

It won't be fit for us to live in.
