White Britons 'a minority by 2066'
 

White British people will be a minority in their own country by 2066 if current immigration levels continue, a population expert has claimed.

Professor David Coleman, of Oxford University, said the demographic group would make up less than half the population in "little more" than 50 years.

He said the decline will be caused by record-breaking levels of immigration and the migration of thousands of British nationals abroad over the coming decades.

Prof Coleman made the comments as the Migration Advisory Board prepares to announce recommendations on the Government's proposed cap on migrant workers from outside the EU.

Writing in an article for Prospect magazine, Mr Coleman said: "Inflows (of migrants) of the last decade have been more sudden and on a bigger scale than ever before.

"The consequent increases in population and changes in its composition have caused concern about economic opportunities, housing, local character and national identity. Moreover, if inflows continue on a similar scale, they will transform the demography of this country."

The demographic analyst said projections by the Office for National Statistics show that rising numbers of immigrants, combined with trends in fertility and survival, will see Britain's population rise to 77 million by 2051 - the equivalent to adding the population of the Netherlands. He said the population would then rise to 85 million by 2083.

Referring to white British people becoming a minority, the population expert added: "The 50% benchmark has no special demographic significance, but it would have a considerable psychological and political impact.

"The transition to a 'majority minority' population, whenever it happens, would represent an enormous change to national identity - cultural, political, economic and religious.

"In Britain, judging by the opposition to high immigration reported in opinion polls over recent years, it seems likely that such developments would be unwelcome."

Who cares what colour they are? :s

I found the article very interesting and no doubt some articulate people will too.

I don't really think of dominant and recessive genes and immigration and emigration as interesting to be honest. It doesn't matter to me whether a Briton is "white", so that makes me non-articulate?

It is a bit scary that British people in general could be a minority in their own country though, don't you think?

That is the point that made it interesting for me Naimh,not what colour we will be but that,British people as they are now will be dwindling,which is scary.

Not to me anyway, the article says "white" Britons, therefore there will be Britons but with other ethnicities than Caucasian.

Think this is the case in some parts of London already...

I'd say 9/10 people I see where I live are white though.

It's not to do with colour as such,it is to do with our Britishness,but if you don't find that interesting,fair enough,there are plenty of other threads,why do people who always use 'colour' get so defensive,I did not write the article but I found it interesting as I'm sure others will(NOT all) but some,and did I say YOU were none articulate?how on earth would I know?

Oh well, life goes on.

Britons are Britons, be they white, black or asian.

I doubt that immigration will continue at the same rate though, something will have to be done about it imo same goes for here, we can't afford to support people coming in and there isn't enough work here to go round either.

It might be interesting if it wasn't a lot of cobbled-together scare-mongering. Whoever this "expert" is, if he looks back into his own family a couple of generations he'll definitely find an immigrant or two.

I come from Newham in east London. White, indiginous people became a minority there about twenty years ago. What difference has it made? None. Considering the mad ethnic mix of Newham - over a hundred languages are recognised by the local authority - you'd think it'd be a hot-bed of racism and violence... but it isn't. I'm not going to pretend everything in the garden is rosy, but it's no worse than any other urban area in the UK.

I moved to the countryside a while ago and I have never heard so many disgusting racist comments before in my life. That's because I now live with people who think minorities are different. They know no better, they didn't go to school with other cultures, they don't live with other cultures, so to them they're exotic, different... scary. Newham on the other hand, has been multicultural since the Royal Docks were built in Victorian times, and people from all around the world have been settling there for generations. Does it make the indiginous whites a downtrodden, overlooked group? No, it doesn't. It makes the place richer and more interesting.

I think articles like this are scare-mongering and destructive. I notice no source was mentioned. I'd be interested to know for which publication it was thrown together.

erm.. as long as other minorities stop getting reverse priviledges because the colour of their skin isn't white I couldn't care less! I doubt that will happen though!!

"country by 2066"


But by then
Nukes would have hone off
and those underground that will be saved are Whites in general.



So this Guess of our Future is utter Bollocks



Feel The Force.

In what way do they privileges that we dont?

well for example we have crimes that are more serious because they are 'racially motivated'!! I bet when you get stabbed it feels exactly the same whether its racially motivated or not duh!

Jessica, No. You live in Limerick, Were most people don't even go so yeah. x


Now onto the topic,

[Racist remarks removed]

k?

The whole reason I wanted David Cameron to be PM was to solve this problem, like Obama, he's done nothing.

[Racist remarks removed]


K?
Now everyone, I'm being serious because I'm not good with things like this, BUT...

Will our government do something about the immigration levels? [Racist remarks removed]

Before we know it, EastEnders will have a cast full of Indians.


I'm in Northern Ireland, but I'd gladly fly over and help you all out if you need the help of someone like me to get rid of the problem.

^ Lol, oh dear oh dear, I'd much prefer a community of Polish and Fillipino's than ill educated people like yourself.

Not really, there have been "racially motivated" crimes against white people as well

Do you know who Kriss Donald is? He was a white Scottish teenager who was kidnapped and killed by a gang of Asians. They were later sentanced to life for racially motivated murder and violence.

Contrary to what you seem to think, other races are not immune to being prosecuted for racism. Now, any other privileges that non-whites get?

And you are..?

Isnt it wonderful how these threads get swamped by ignorant and retarded racism?

:joker: Exactly the response I'd expect from someone whose ignorance stops them from giving a balanced and considered argument without resorting to racism.

Kazanne it is an interesting article and its good you posted it for discussion. If people always get defensive or abusive then these serious debates are pointless

No, but it makes your opinion pretty pointless since I note you are NOT British. Likewise, I would not give a flying ***** if everyone in Eire was green with yellow polka dots.

After the Nukes by arabs go off
only White people will be around , after it.
Only a Selected amount go into the Bunkers.


So the long term future is white people.
