Its becoming very circular isn't it. 74.4% in England and Wales in 2021, down from 95% in the space of 30 years. The Boris Wave has happened since the last census, so it'll likely be in the low 70's now. And it'll be lower still by the next census. Thats a dramatic change in a short space of time. The figures show it to be true, there isn't a debate to be had about this and it isn't a conspiracy theory. Its observable reality.

What are you talking about?

81.7% of the population of E&W identify as white in the 2011 Census. Down from 86% in 2012. Of the 81.7% who identified as white, 74.4% identified as English, Welsh, Scottish, Northern Irish or British. Down from 80.5 % in 2011.

Now. Please explain which demographic is replacing white people in E&W?

I like cats and dogs but I don't have either. Do I win?

Muslims banning dogs claim fact checked

https://skywriter.blue/@did:plc:uxg2d3knt2sk5f52binuyuow/3meo6ommgv22d

It’s depressing to see how well propaganda works😫

People on X and now out in the real world GENUINELY believe that this is all because of Muslims🤦🏼‍♀️

There hasn’t been a single case anywhere of Muslims in this country trying to ban dogs or trying to limit what anyone does with their dog

Yet…

Which bit am I doing wrong? 🤣
Am I bad socialist or a bad dog lover? So confused.
What about further left - if I became a communist (open to persuasion) would I like dogs less or more? Anyone know the anarchist position? I’m not prepared to go further towards the centre so that’s out.
Maybe I’ll just be an anomaly.

Bad socialist I think?

I saw in real life (no stats) a whole family walking a dog! I was aghast.

Why not tell us where it is an issue, then, and point us towards some actual evidence for that?

@JustSomeWaferThinHam can you provide a reliable source in relation to your claims?

Pinkfluffypencilcase · 15/02/2026 14:49

I’m going to be sad when this thread ends. It’s been very entertaining.

Funny that.

Our 'lost traditions' seem to be 'at some point in the future there might be more non-white people in the countryside'
And maybe we'll get dog free areas? Seems dogs are more common everywhere than when I was a child though.
And also secular politics which we still have 🤔

I really have no idea what you're struggling with. Those identifying as white british were 95% of the population in 1991. As of 2021, that number was 74.4% and we've since had the Boris Wave, allowing millions more to come to the country. Inevitably, the next census figures will show the white british population declining further as a percentage of the population, and it has already declined sharply. What are you not understanding

FunCrab · 15/02/2026 14:56

Human beings are human beings regardless of colour.
If you were blind you would not see skin colour.
Are you suggesting that people of colour are not tolerant of women's rights?
Where is the evidence for this and I do not mean Daily Mail.
Your post is disturbing to anyone of colour on MN.
Clearly you are white and claiming superiority.
Most in reform would totally agree with your sentiments.
You are not unreasonable you are racist.

pointythings · 15/02/2026 15:00

The whole obsession with race implies that some people believe that certain humans are more human than others.

Sounds great for their economy that a million people want to work and study there?
Out of a population of 260million I don't think they'd be 'swamped' though 😂
Pakistan also takes a lot more refugees in than we do by the way.

Pakistan has consistently refused refugees a pathway to citizenship, including to those born in Pakistan or living in the country for decades. When former prime minister Imran Khan suggested granting citizenship to Afghan refugees in 2018 there was a huge backlash and he had to row back on the idea. One of the main objections revolved around voter demographics - with one ethnic group forecast to overtake another in some provinces, potentially altering the political landscape in those areas. Access to scarce resources was another objection.

Its not an offensive view to want religion kept out of politics

Im trying to argue in a rational way so just calling something "offensive" doesnt really help counter my argument.

I want religion kept out of politics too. But religion IN politics has been very much a British tradition, reduced in quite recent times.Especially Catholic vs Protestant. Civil wars; executions of 'heretics'; etc. Much of it ended about 300 years ago, but there was near-civil war in Northern Ireland until 1997, and their politics is still divided on religious lines.

Blasphemy laws were repealed in England and Wales only in 2008. In Scotland not till 2024. Not yet in Northern Ireland!

I don't like Muslim pressures on voters either, but what about conservative Christian pressures? All the people who make a fuss about 'keeping religion out of politics' NOW- where were they in 2010, when my secularist, pro-choice MP was smeared as 'Dr Death'; when the representative of the local anti-abortion Life group posed as just a 'concerned citizen' and sent vile smear leaflets around; when David Cameron, incoming Prime Minister and MP for the constituency next door to mine, did fuck all to stop it? When a Telegraph writer enthused about my MP's narrow defeat as 'the best result of the election' and darling Ann Widdecombe, then still a Tory, urged 'people of conscience' to do the same everywhere? Well guess what, Muslim activists are 'people of conscience' too! Either one supports secularism in politics or one doesn't, but religious interference isn't a great thing untill it's suddenly practiced by people of recent immigrant origin.

I don't like the Shokat Adam brand of politics- but there are, even to this day, far more Danny Krugers and Sammy Wilsons than there are Shokat Adams,

MaturingCheeseball · 15/02/2026 15:27

Back to the countryside… isn’t it more of an urban thing rather than race? My granny never set one foot outside her midlands town. It would never have entered her head to go for a country walk. She was a townie through and through. Look at the War with evacuation - some major culture clashes!

So I still maintain that a lot of issues are about the type of person whose demographic is increasing, rather than skin colour or even religion per se.

"Human beings are human beings regardless of colour.
Well why has there been such a push for inclusion and DEI?

Because some human beings believe other human beings of a different colour are less capable (when they are not). This is why the NHS has name blind recruitment.

That simple enough for you?

I agree. I note they're saying that no immigrant in the UK can ever receive benefits, an idea that was also mooted at one point in Reform.

Pensions are a benefit. So if these nutters ever get in (they won't) there are going to be so many lawsuits with people wanting their tax contributions back, because what they are proposing is basically theft.

Stepintotheunknown · 15/02/2026 16:01

I think it will initially be no UC and no housing benefit.

pointythings · 15/02/2026 16:03

Stepintotheunknown · 15/02/2026 16:01

I think it will initially be no UC and no housing benefit.

Then will these immigrants be paying reduced taxes? Because that is a breach of the social contract, and anyone supporting that idea lacks morals.

Stepintotheunknown · 15/02/2026 16:05

Probably If they have paid in for 10 years they will qualify. So yes tax payers receive the benefit.

You've just proved my point, if everyone is the same regardless of skin colour then why are some people on this thread saying it would be better if Britain had less whites unless they believe that whiteness is bad in some way 🤔
