Latest UK lunacy

Further humiliation from the non-natives:



Following up on this:


This week the data on ethnicity from the 2021 census was finally released. Laura Towler from Patriotic Alternative condensed the data thus:

These figures are for England and Wales. Not to be confused with previous figures for the whole of the UK.

WHITE
2011: 86.0%
2021: 81.7%
(A drop of 4.3% in 10 years)

And as part of the "White" ethnic group…

WHITE BRITISH
2001: 87.5%
2011: 80.5%
2021: 74.4%

Here we see a drop of around 6% over the past ten years, and a previous drop of 7% the decade before.

Let's hope these figures put some sense into people and wake us up from our slumber. We're below three-quarters native British now, this is insane.

This writer puts it well here (commenting on the Javid tweet):

Farage is essentially saying that England is at least an implicitly white country. Javid is telling him it isn’t. The idea that England was a white country was, in the past, taken for granted, but now such an idea is held in contempt by our political class and media. At some point we switched from one to the other, but nobody ever simply came out and declared it openly until relatively recently.

Here, we return to the awkwardness and incoherence of narratives surrounding multiculturalism in Britain — it never had a mandate from the indigenous population.

The Brexit referendum was an opportunity for people to voice their frustrations at the establishment for the multiculturalism that had spread over the years, so we might say this was a delayed mandate, or a proxy for it, but not only was it 'too little too late', disappointingly they have failed, so far, to deliver on anything they promised. I suspect this evasive strategy will continue until people forget there even was a Brexit vote.

To paraphrase the publicity line of the movie "TAPS":

"This country is my home. I think it's worth defending".

I'm not sure if there is any way to defend it internally now. It seems we will need to rely on the BRIC+ block blowing up the dollar system. That seems the surest and most direct route to ending this. I think when that system goes, then we might expect the end of globalism.

Some recent articles [29th Nov '22] commenting on the Census 2021 data, this time regarding the predictable collapse of Christian believers in the UK:

Why is the Christian population of England and Wales declining? [The Guardian, 29/11/22]​


Some highlights:

England and Wales are now minority Christian countries for the first time since census data collection began, with less than half the population describing themselves as Christian, and a big increase in the proportion of people saying they have no religion.

Calls grow to disestablish Church of England as Christians become minority [The Guardian, 29/11/22]​


Census results revealing that England is no longer a majority-Christian country have sparked calls for an end to the church’s role in parliament and schools, while Leicester and Birmingham became the first UK cities with “minority majorities”.

For the first time in a census, less than half of the population of England and Wales – 27.5 million people – described themselves as “Christian”, 5.5 million fewer than in 2011. It triggered calls for urgent reform of laws requiring Christian teaching and worship in schools and Church of England bishops to sit in the House of Lords.

Across England and Wales, the Muslim population grew from 2.7 million people in 2011 to 3.9 million in 2021. While 46.2% of people said they were Christian, 37.2% said they had no religion – equivalent to 22 million people. If current trends continue, more people will have no religion than Christianity within a decade.

The Office for National Statistics 2021 census data on ethnicity, religion and language published on Tuesday also revealed that:
  • 59.1% of the people of Leicester and 51.4% of the people of Birmingham are now from ethnic minority groups.
  • 81.7% of the population of England and Wales is now white, including non-British, down from 86% in 2011.
  • The ethnic minority population increased from 14% in 2011 to 18.3%. Of these, 9.3% of the population is Asian British, up from 7.5%, 4% is Black, Black British, Black Welsh, Caribbean-African and African, up from 3.3%, and 5% are from mixed and other ethnicities.
  • Romanian is the fastest-rising language, with 472,000 people now describing the romance language as their main tongue. Polish is the most common main language aside from English or Welsh.
  • The fastest-rising religious identity is Shamanism. :alien:

The 10-yearly census results heralded a new era of “super-diversity” in some places. :laughter: Fourteen local authorities recorded more than half of their usual residents as identifying with an ethnic group other than white, with the highest proportion in the London boroughs of Newham, Brent and Redbridge.

Outside London, the highest non-white proportion was in Slough in Berkshire, followed by Leicester, Luton and Birmingham. One in 10 households in England and Wales now contain people of two or more ethnicities, and across England and Wales, the mixed-race population grew by half a million people to 1.7 million, though the rate of increase was slower than over the previous decade

The plunging figures for Christianity come after King Charles took on the titles Defender of the Faith and supreme governor of the Church of England upon the death of Queen Elizabeth II. They look likely to pose a challenge to how he frames his monarchy, although he has already said he will serve people “whatever may be your background and beliefs”.

The Archbishop of York, Stephen Cottrell, indicated that the Church knows it faces a struggle to arrest the decline, saying it “throws down a challenge to us, not only to trust that God will build his kingdom on Earth, but also to play our part in making Christ known”.

Lynne Cullens, the Bishop of Barking, insisted the church should not feel “defeated”. “We are like the Nike tick,”she said. “We have to go down before we go up. :rolleyes: We will evolve into a church more attuned to the worshipping needs of the communities as they are today.”

The National Secular Society’s [yes, it does exist] chief executive, Stephen Evans, said the current status quo was “absurd and unsustainable”, while Prof Linda Woodhead, head of the department of theology and religious studies at King’s College London, said: “The fact that Christianity is no longer the majority religion means policy is out of step with society.”

Dr Scot Peterson, scholar of religion and the state at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, said: “It’s been difficult to defend having an established church since the beginning of the 20th century, but it now becoming a figment of the imagination. The king being the head of the Church of England made sense in 1650, but not in 2022.”

England isn't the place for revolutions usually, but it looks like the established order is about to be overturned, in favour of a godless, secular, multi-faith union, to fully represent our "super-diversity"...

Two errors on that post, my bad:

1.
The 2nd link was faulty, where I got the main quotes, not sure how that happened, here it is again:

Calls grow to disestablish Church of England as Christians become minority


2.
The attached picture was left there by mistake, i tried copying it in then noticed that the Guardian use these images as a backdrop then apply text on top of it, separate from the image. It doesn't make it very shareable though, unless you take a screenshot, so here it is with the text:

Sounds like Britain is due for a "Come to Jesus" moment. Perhaps right soon!

Indeed. An upsurge in faith nearly always comes on the tail-end of much suffering, so we may need our very own "Soviet-era" moment to enable such a resurgence in Church attendance. Suffering is an agent of purity, as I once heard EMJ mention, but it's a general truth we all understand. Only through a hard, sustained and unavoidable struggle can we hope for mass numbers to return once again, as we begin to say goodbye to the most comfortable era in human history. Although numbers in Orthodoxy are slowly picking up now, after the coof scare, which I hope was the first of many waves to come in converting English believers -- what's left of them anyway, before we're bred out by the migrants (half-joking...)

Looks like the latest firm to succumb to the pronouns madness is Greggs, a bakery cum purveyor of notoriously unhealthy fast food:


This move is, allegedly, due to a massive demand from staff. I doubt if I'm the only one who finds this statement less than credible.
