Back in March of last year, when Britain was still under lockdown, you may remember filling in your Census form. Results from that Census are starting to be released. And they make for rather interesting reading.
Today saw the release of figures relating to language, religion and ethnicity in England and Wales (rather than the U.K. as a whole). The latter are of particular interest, as they reveal the absolutely massive scale of immigration over the last two decades.
As of 2021, 74.4% of people in England and Wales say they are “White British” (which includes the categories “White English”, “White Scottish”, “White Welsh”, and “White Northern Irish”). That’s down from 87.5% in 2001, meaning that in only twenty years the “White British” share has fallen by 13.1 percentage points.
The change between the 2021 Census and the 2011 Census was somewhat smaller than the change between the 2011 Census and the 2001 Census – six percentages points, rather than seven. Yet if present trends continue, the “White British” share will be less than two thirds by 2035.
The change was even starker in the nation’s capital. 36.8% of Londoners say they are “White British” – down from 59.8% in 2001. So in just the last two decades, the “White British” population of London has fallen by 23 percentage points. On present trends, the nation’s capital will be less than 30% “White British” by 2030.
In the immigration debate, people focus overwhelmingly on the net migration rate (total number of immigrants minus total number of emigrants). But this statistic is actually quite difficult to interpret as it’s a flow measure rather than a stock measure. And in principle, you can have a high net migration rate with little demographic change (if a lot of Brits living overseas repatriate each year).
The percentage of people who say they are “White British” quantifies the overall scale of immigration: it’s a stock measure, and it takes into account second and third generation migrants as well as first generation migrants. Of course, there are non-white Britons whose ancestors arrived more than a century ago, but they are a tiny fraction of the total.
As recently as the 1990s, England and Wales was approximately 90% “White British”. It’s now less than 75% “White British”. Whatever your view on immigration, this is a dramatic shift without precedent in the last thousand years of British history. Even the Norman Conquest only reduced the native stock by up to five percentage points.
Although the net migration rate matters, the immigration debate ought to focus more on the declining “White British” share of the population.

The conclusion I draw is that for 25 years we’ve had governments owned by people who hate the indigenous population, our culture, our history, our achievements and even our landscapes.
I have been working in a clinic in North London all day. I have seen a single elderly white British person.
Curiously we were told that immigration would make the country richer and allow pensions to be paid to retiring British people.
However, immigrants seem to become sicker at a younger age, so burdening the NHS and requiring higher taxation for the working population.
Why would our governments persist in this policy for half a century?
It is a mystery!
Replacement is real. UN conventions. ECHR. EU Treaties. Open Borders. All planned. And if you dissent you are racist, an anti-something, phobic and psychologically ill. Science say. Teacher say. BBC say.
That’s right. Black Lives Matter. And “white lives matter” is racist. Some more equal than others?
I have a sweat shirt with a picture of my dog Josh who sadly died in January which I proudly wear most days –
the caption?
“BLACK LABS MATTER”
Of course “darkies” (or whatever they’re called these days) get sicker younger, they have lower vitamin D levels. I would guess that there is a similar thing with “white” people and skin cancer in Rhodesia (though I understand the ancient Jewish population were indistinguishable from the native population).
Worth noting also that the “white British” population also decreased in absolute numbers in England and Wales from 2001 to 2011. I wonder if there’s any place in the world where the “white British” population is increasing? Whether this matters and whether “white British” are worth preserving rather depends on your point of view, I suppose. I’ll tell you something though, I always considered the destruction of the full-blooded native Tasmanians a crime. Maybe I had better ask the Egalitarians (or whatever the Equalities religion is called) what they make of all this…
Word for word perfect, you just nailed it, but we need an awful lot more people to see it before anything will change.
I don’t understand the emphasis on ‘white’ British. How many people identify as black british etc. Can only people with white skin be classed as indigenous because of their European ancestors? At what point does an immigrant or their descendants qualify as indigenous? As far as I’m concerned the only devision that makes sense is between the globalists (and their puppets) and everyone else.
Traditionally (ie, until this was changed by left-leaning parties seeking to expand their voter base in the early 2000s) people were regarded as Germans if they were born to German parents (the so-called ius sanguinis, still part of the German constitution today but practically, nowadays mostly meaningless). Put in another way: Let’s say some stranger moves into a house where your sister used to live. Does this mean he becomes related to you?
One can argue that such an organization is a relic from earlier, tribal societies. But in reality, outside of the nowadays fairly degenerate west with its forever shrinking indigenous populations, almost all societies are more or less tribal.
I like to assess people by their attitudes and actions. I know some non-white people who I would gladly man the barricades with to see off some of the chattering classes’ favourite invaders.
Assessing people has an air of dealing with livestock to it (or pupils). But this isn’t at all about assigning grades to people based on their perceived merit. It’s about identiy and heritage. I’m German. That’s not something I’ve chosen to be and not something I can ever stop being. I don’t even necessarily prefer the company of Germans over the company of other people (Germans can often be very tedious and many consider impoliteness a virtue although I believe that’s partically a modern degeneration) but they are my people. No matter how long I’ll end up living in the UK, some parts of me, and very fundamental parts, will always remain alien to this place.
It largely depends on your views on nature vs nurture.
But I agree that many other things are also important – values, and where you stand on the issues you mention.
Immigration is another area in which propaganda and psyops have been implemented by the powers that be, in order to achieve ends that the people may not (if asked) have seen as entirely desirable. Labelling anyone who questions the narrative as “racist” is one example. The argument that immigrants pay more in taxes than they take in benefits has been a constant line unquestioned by the mainstream media, though it is somewhat untrue, since it is based on comparing taxes paid with CASH benefits received (thus ignoring non-cash benefits like education, health, police, defence, etc).

EU the same. They, the Muslims, Indians, the Africans with their future 1.3 billion population eyeing the Kentish coast; the enrichers and superiors, always start in the urban areas, conquer/control, then spread. 1400 years of history tells me that. Even the Vikings went for the money (monasteries), then expanded from there.
Though I am sure the ‘science’ and the ‘experts’ will declaim the contrary.
By 2040 or so, most urban areas in the UK will be minority White anything. Then what? What happens to the political-military-economic-social-religious structures of this once green and happy land?
Personchedad. It’s Personchedad!
Same thing happening in the USA.
It happened already. Only difference is the natives got reserves.
This all goes to support Professor Fenton (and others’) contention that the ONS population statistics are significantly undercounting the UK population. Mass immigration has clearly continued since the last Census, which means that he is right about the undercount of the unvaccinated and the serious bias of the data on ‘vaccination’ efficacy. This supports the data that suggests ‘vaccine’ effectiveness does indeed become negative very soon after administration.
You’re missing an important part of the picture: A sizable part of this relative decrease will be due to white british people getting a lot less children than non-white people, be they british or not british, also living on this island. Even assuming that immigration would be stopped tomorrow, people identifying as white british would still eventually end up being a minority here.
I said the “White British” share is useful because “it takes into account second and third generation migrants” – the children and grandchildren of those who arrived in earlier waves of migration.
Arguably, I overlooked that. OTOH, it doesn’t really make sense to call someone a second generation immigrant. An immigrant is someone who immigrated. It’s also besides the point I was trying to make, namely, that immigration to Britain (or other European countries, eg Germany or France) as opposed to – more common in earlier times – emigration from there is a secondary phenomenon whose real cause is collapsing birth rates. When present trends in this area continue, all European peoples will die out. As the idea that this fertile and rich area of the planet will remain unpopulated is ridicolous, this means other peoples will settle in Europe instead. We’re still in the fairly early stages of that, although not in the first anymore. Illegally crossing a border is technically an invasion. That these people don’t yet arrive as conquerors in arms is a transient phenomenon. At some point in time in the future, they doubtlessly will.
Recently Rishi Sunak announced that the government’s policy assumptions regarding China were ‘naive’.
There are many other policies that our governments, past and present, told us were ‘good for us and the world’ at the time — I wonder if they’d like to have a think about whether they were naive too.
Sino Sunak? I took his recent “hard-headed” rhetoric (or words to that effect) as a signal of his his desire for a rapprochement with the PRC. The CCP don’t care if some people (though probably not you and me) get “filthy rich” either…
So, where is it (currently) safe to retire to and still feel like White Britons are the predominant population?
Costa del Sol?
Shetlands, Orkney, Hebrides. But they don’t like newcomers.
I don’t think people who live in the Shetland Islands think of themselves as Britons.
The political class will be pleased.
In ten years’ time, when the generation born in the ’40s have died off the percentage of white British will automatically fall to around 60% …. because in the ’40s, the country was around 99% white.
By the time the baby boomers (born 1945-1960 when the country was around 98% white) have gone, the white British will be a minority in their own lands.
In two generations the Globalists will have destroyed the nation which has contributed more to the world than any other – ever. And they did it with no mandate and knowing full well that the British people opposed mass immigration.
What they have done is beyond evil.
If you are not a member of a centre Right challenger party then look in the mirror if you want someone to blame for the continuity of the global majority population replacement agenda.
Agenda relies on the assumption that the people who like telling themselves that everything is fine and that they are in control are actually in control. However, they’re not. This is a horror vacui effect. Overamericanized societies are in love with ethnic suicide by contraception (pills), as they’re all socially dancing around the golden calf of a so-called sex life supposed to fill the empty space formerly occupied with things with meanings (religion being among them). This leaves a lot of empty spaces in areas where the corresponding peoples still live. And other people get sucked into these.
Assuming Charles Schwab lives for long enough (probably not) he’ll eventually find himself bundled out of his palace by a large family of non-white people whose numerous male members wield all kinds of sharp instruments. That’s an example of evolution at work: Reproduce or die out.
It is clear that mass immigration and turning a blind eye to illegal immigration is UK governments of both main party’s job. They are pandering to their globalist bosses rather than to the people who vote for them. They are implementing UN policies rather than policies in the interests of the UK public. The UN is the would be world government and they don’t care where all the people live. Infact it is better from their point of view if all the people of all colours and cultures are mixed together so that they feel more like citizens of the world rather than citizens of particular Nations.
