Like a monstrous experiment in social engineering, the profoundly anti-patriotic immigration policy of New Labour has brought about demographic changes that, right from the outset, were intended to be irreversible.
For centuries, Britain — and England in particular — has represented a civilizational ideal for much of the modern world. The birthplace of parliamentary democracy, the common law system, and global standards of governance, Britain has exported its political and cultural values far beyond its shores. At home, it once epitomized social cohesion, stability, and civic pride. Yet, in the 21st century, many Britons — particularly in working-class communities — report a growing sense of cultural alienation. Towns like Bradford, Luton, and Rotherham now evoke, for some, a sense of displacement rather than belonging. This perception of a “de-Anglification” of England, whereby traditional English culture appears to be losing ground in its own homeland, reflects a deeper civilizational unease.
There is a need to explore the causes and consequences of this transformation, including the policies of the New Labour government, the fragmentation of national identity, the failure of integration, and the erosion of trust in public institutions. To understand present-day anxieties, one must first consider the roots of British identity. The British Empire, despite its contradictions, built a national self-image centered on civility, order, and moral leadership. At home, this was expressed through shared cultural norms, Protestant ethics, the English language, and pride in legal and political institutions.
After WWII, as the empire dissolved, Britain opened its doors to immigrants from the Caribbean, South Asia, and Africa — partly to rebuild the economy, partly in recognition of shared imperial ties. This demographic shift was not initially perceived as a threat to British identity, but the scale and pace of change eventually altered the social fabric of many urban centers.

I don’t see how Britain recovers.
The civilized welcoming in the uncivilized...what did they think would happen?
US is no different although Trump is trying to do something about it.
Bring on Tommy Robinson and his patriotic (OK, a bit Fascist but...) fighters in the streets> This will eventually happen.
There will be migrant versus home-grown Brits who will try to take their country back. Very few options are left now except, unfortunately, civil war.
Where is France’s Tommy Robinson?
I agree. Enoch Powell predicted Rivers Of Blood and that is exactly what it would take. Real ethnic cleansing. And that just isn't going to happen (until the Muslims cleanse the British from the isles. That will happen eventually.).
It’s over.
Turn out the lights.
Their best and brightest are fleeing in front of the invading muslim hordes.
I know one who has left for good, one who is considering emigrating, and another who intends to go down with the fight (if he doesn’t choose to take me up on my offer of sponsorship for American Citizenship as a political refugee).
Civilization v uncivilized. The uncivilized are worldwide. The elected representatives of civilized nations often place restrictions on their citizens in deference to the uncivilized. Do they act this way out of ignorance, fear or some other undisclosed reason? Whatever the reason, it is untruthful representation.
On the one hand, there are the native British — believing in values like honor, hard work, protecting their families, and fair play. Then there are Muslims, who showed on October 7, 2023 that they are willing, ready, and able to slaughter anyone. Unless a miracle happens, my money is on the Jihadists.
Britain is the dead Englishman walking.
The people they welcome are cheaper (and less educated) than the natives. The Elite are nothing, if not cheapskates.
It is common to see people who think that George Soros spends his own money, for instance. It is much more likely, however, that a mind like his looks to steal a little of the USAID money, as it’s passing through.
The United Kingdom has become a nation of Thuggees.
There are very few of them who are for freedom and liberty. They love socialism. I do not want them migrating to the USA. Let them rot in their own stew. The same with the Irish in Ireland. Do not come to the USA.
I would accept the hard working White South Africans though.
Cannot be Chicken Littles my friends.
Return to Jesus, watch what happens. You are merely fighting the devil. America too. France, Germany, Netherlands....Jesus.
Jesus is permitting this evil in order yo bring you back. Satan loses this way.
Of course, thumbsucking is much easier: that is what got us all to this point.
The J6ers....and folks seeing what they really did and didn’t do....prayed.
To misquote ACDC Highway to Hell .....”Don’t stop there...” right through it and back up.
It was a miracle.
God shed His Grace on America yet again.
Unless the British People can find such genius, wisdom, and courage within themselves, the UK is lost.
The American People were ready. Donald Trump appeared.
For Great Britain, the hero already exists. If the British People become ready for him and for their rescue, he will appear. If they don't, they will be destroyed.
Anglos and Saxons are on the verge of being horribly displaced like their (our) ancestors were in the 5th century when the Visigoths invaded modern Germany and forced the Germanic tribes living there up into marshy Denmark.
Far too late; the UK is gone.
I’m surprised guns and ammo have not been smuggled into England by now.
Wasn’t she sentenced to prison?
The British Elites, having finally decayed to the Hapsburg genetic epiphenomenon, cannot help themselves to civilization destruction.
My daughter is scheduled for a cruise departing Southampton this July and was planning yo tour the Cottswolds first. I don’t know if it’s safe? I expect that the risk is there but remote for a tourist outside the big cities. She’s traveling to Oxford. Bath & Salibury.
she’ll be fine, it’s only the big and former industrialized cities you need to avoid.
Cotswolds are great, I grew up about 40 miles NE of there in Warwickshire
