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.

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?

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?

Bradford was my local city.Archery1969 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 22, 2024 9:08 pmMy 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.

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.
