My god, where is this thread going. However, some statistics.
As per 2021 Census for Bradford:
61% White British
As per 2021 Census for Leeds:
89% White British
As per 2021 Census for London:
53% White British
So, based on the above official facts, I wouldn’t say Bradford or Leeds or even London had a non existent White British representation.
Let’s keep the thread clean people.

Sorry CS.

How long before we get to the point where most people in the UK aren't British![]()
Due to the Empire we must one of the apex cosmipolitan, multicultural nations. And I love that.
I think drawing boundaries is understandable but one of the worst things humans have ever done.
And I couldn't disagree more with you, having seen the utter decline in my lifetime of Blighty; since growing up in the 70s when England was indeed a green and pleasant Christian land with a society that valued subtlety and respect of one's elders and authority.
There are now areas where white people are all but completely gone and now fear to tread. That's tragic by any metric. Not to mention the amount of people here, full roads, lack of housing, shortage of GPs, dentists hospital and wider infrastructure to to serve them.

Given Anglo-saxons were drawn from northern europe mainland does anyone have the right to exclude others from across the globe?
Us Brits also charged around the world conquering and granting UK rights to some of the conquered.
Those same people have contributed massively to this Kingdom's wealth.
I believe you are bailing out and heading for a gated community in Spain.
Good. I wish you well. You wont have to suffer a nation you clearly have no love for.

What is English? I consider myself British, but some would say that I'm English, along with other Black and Asian people who were born here?Crazyskier wrote: ↑Mon Jul 22, 2024 10:15 pmDon't be absurd. Wanting England for the English is hardly that.

Isn't wanting England for the English the BNP's and NF's desire?

So you were mixing with 95% of the world throughout history and now you want a small corner of your country where you could feel English againCrazyskier wrote: ↑Mon Jul 22, 2024 10:15 pmDon't be absurd. Wanting England for the English is hardly that.

Apparently you're less English than CS because of your Indian heritage and you shouldn't live anywhere close to his gated communityDerek27 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 22, 2024 10:21 pmWhat is English?

The tension between white British and Asian, or British with recent Asian heritage is horrendous and just plain uncomfortable. Also, Bradford has its own driving rules known simply as "Bradford rules"
I've lived in many parts of the UK and always been amused when people have ideologies about how we can all integrate without conflict. Some cultural differences are just too difficult if we don't manage integration properly. We need immigration, it is essential. But we need to manage the integration. The English are just as bad in how we occupy areas of Spain and refuse to integrate, for example.
The problem is there are racists that hide behind any excuse so they can to push harmful agendas. But equally harmful is people that will tell me my lived experiences are nonsense and that they have never had such an experience having grown up in Exeter.

Well, some good and bad comments.
I guess for some, integration and/or acceptance is never going to happen, regardless of the country you live in.
Canada is no different, but it’s a vast country, so if you don’t want to integrate or accept your neighbours then you can pretty much do as you please, especially in rural/forest/wilderness areas.
I’m pretty sure the local Bears and Wolves don’t wish to integrate with me. Hopefully I can win them over.
or more than likely, die trying. 
Let’s try and be nice to each other, regardless of politics, religion or football team.

Absolutely, inaction in the face of inherited inequality is akin to complicity in the original acts. While we are not to blame for the historical wrongs of colonial Britain and slavery, standing idly by allows the shadow of those sins to persist. It is our moral imperative to not only recognize but also actively dismantle the structures of inequality that have been passed down. To do nothing is to allow the legacy of injustice to continue, and in that, we fail to honour the principle of progress and humanity. We must be agents of change, for indifference is a silent endorsement of the status quo.
