Apart from Northern Ireland, the United Kingdom executives are entirely non-white..
It’s certainly an interesting phenomenon.
Rishi Sunak is serving as the Prime Minister of the UK. Pakistani Muslim settler Humza Yousaf has taken over as the First Minister of Scotland and Vaughan Gething (pictured above), an immigrant from Zambia, will become the First Minister of Wales.
Apart from Northern Ireland, the United Kingdom executives are entirely non-white.
It’s certainly an interesting phenomenon that reflects a rate of not only demographic, but political change in the UK, that has become more rapid than the rest of Europe.
Part of it can probably be attributed to the role of bloc votes, certainly in the case of Yousaf and the rising Pakistani Muslim presence, and partly to the aspirational growth of talented Indian immigrants, but you also have to wonder to what extent failed political establishments are using minorities to paper over fundamental failures.
It’s not entirely a coincidence that Rishi Sunak became the frontman for a failed Conservative party in crisis or Yousaf for a disgraced SNP.
American-style identity politics will use minorities and ‘breaking-the-glass-ceiling’ to change the narrative about a company, a party, or a movie. Put a minority figure out front and suddenly, disparaging it is racist.
The UK has been stuck in the doldrums for a while now. (As has America.) And instead of talking about that, soon there’ll be so many thinkpieces about the newly diverse leadership of the isles. (I just got to it first.)
Why are both world powers stuck? There’s a global situation to consider, but more narrowly, both nations went down the dead ends of liberalism, trashing domestic industries in the name of socialism and then globalism, embracing massive immigration and the international community, only to be left with nothing. Incompetent conservative reactions followed leaving the native population despondent and lacking any way forward.
American liberalism papered over its disaster with Barack Obama leading to a decade and a half of horror. Now the UK gets to pretend that breaking the glass ceiling is the only progress the nation needs.
Why actually deal with the problems when everyone can pat themselves on the back for the new tolerance?
Under Sharia law, kafir are inferior to moslems.

Saaay that sounds just like the U.S. voting system.
Whites start it with guilty what culture war political prostitution
Then those aggrieved interlopers of the mosaic hue give it a life of their own
Doesn’t matter if it’s a village or town or nation darkening
The end result is nearly always the same
Here or the UK or anywhere else I’ve lived or witnessed
England is dead.
If the men who fought in WWs 1 and 2 could have peered into the future they would have stood down immediately.
All according to plan.
Soon they’ll be trying to implement sharia law.
Hope the white folks who voted for this are happy now.
“If the men who fought in WWs 1 and 2 could have peered into the future they would have stood down immediately”
Oh No, I have it on good authority that black battalions and the Tuskeegee airmen won the war singlehandedly. It was truly amazing: 1% of the military did 99% of the fighting.
And what were they fighting for? Black Europe, the Paradise that existed before the evil Caspers took over and destroyed that glittering Wakanda world.
“Congratulations! Now they’ll all finally become utopia. Maybe even Wakanda. That’s all it takes, just replace white people. I mean, what have they ever done to further humanity?”
Right... they’re fundamentally transforming the world so that every nation can be just like Africa, India and the Middle East. What took them so long? And while these idiots are busy patting themselves on the back for their “new” diversity... they’re certainly never going to acknowledge that they have taken racism and discrimination to a whole “new” level and gone full-tilt in the wrong direction. No cure for stupidity. I suspect that it will have to be ‘bred’ out of them. And that’s never going to happen.... now.
Proof that the Oligarchs have taken over the voting process.
“And what were they fighting for? Black Europe, the Paradise that existed before the evil Caspers took over and destroyed that glittering Wakanda world.”
If we’re focusing on leftist idiocy... I can top that. Heir Biden recently mentioned how all those illegals flooding across our open border actually “built this country”... without ever having stepped one foot in the country previously. It’s like... magic.
(Waiting for Africa, India, middle east and south America to elect a white guy in the name of diversity. I’ll keep waiting)
Post of the year so far!
” It’s like... magic”
Oh there’s even a name for that mystical apparition in the mind of the average neuronally challenged South American: “Magic Dirt”.
They actually explain the jarring difference in outcomes of our country to theirs by believing that it all grew outta the soil here magically, and we just showed up and tooks it!
Yepper, all those freeways, houses, skyscrapers, power plants, airports, bridges, dams, factories, universities, cathedrals, churches, hospitals, on and on and on and on...it wuz magic, Senor! Ju got eet for nothing! Now geev eet to us!
Biden is scum. For the President of the United States to say something so filled with hate for his own (allegedly) people is beyond despicable.
There is a REASON why there is not a successful black lead country on the planet.... and we are all about to find out.
About 15 years ago, many folks on this very forum predicted that Europe was headed down the drain, largely due to their embrace of birth control, abortion, and sodomy. But even those of us who agreed that the path was straight downhill never thought things would deteriorate this quickly — to the point where they’re making eunuchs of their children, joyfully surrendering their civilization in the name of diversity, and punishing severely anyone who dares to resist.
“Biden is scum. For the President of the United States to say something so filled with hate for his own (allegedly) people is beyond despicable.”
Calling Biden mere scum is an insult to real scum everywhere. Let’s face it. Leftists/Marxists are pure evil. And much like evil itself, they will continue to destroy everything they touch unless they are stopped.
As for that “magic dirt” theme.... magic dirt to me is soil that you can grow stuff in. If you will notice, most of the truly lush, good for growing places on earth have been taken over by these evil leftists (See: California, Venezuela, Hawaii, Africa, etc.). All tropical paradises that used to be ‘the’ best places for farming and growing plants (citrus, sugar cane, fruits, etc.) They had the magic dirt and took full advantage of it. White European settlers moved in and began farming and built things up. But as is their nature, the leftists swooped in and have pretty much screwed everything up there now... to the point that most folks like us don’t even want to visit, much less live there. South Africa is yet another example of what happens when evil is allowed to take over places where civilization has progressed and thrived previously. Totally destroyed and now a hell-hole. Another one, that is.
India did have an Italian woman (Sonia Gandhi) in charge for 10 years recently.
Oh No, I have it on good authority that black battalions and the Tuskeegee airmen won the war singlehandedly.
A poor article that lies at the start. Vaughan Gething’s father is a Welshman and his mother is from Zambia. So he is not an “immigrant from Zambia” he is a born Welshman and has had UK citizenship from birth.
Gething appears to had a fairly normal career for a Welsh Labour MS (Member of the Senedd) Cabinet Officer. His skin color appears to be the only difference from any other Labour candidate. And given it’s Wales, a Labour leader who is not a raving loon is about as good as you are going to get there. Certainly better than Plaid Cymru.
As far as the other two, Rishi Sunak was a longstanding Conservative MP who aside from his ethnicity and religion has the same Public School and Oxbridge background as a hundred other MPs (and is probably the reason he is an un-inventive leader taking the Tories into the toilet next election...)
Humza Yousaf is nothing more or less than a toady for Nicola Sturgeon who was shoved into the office to try to cover for her corruption. Ethnicity was not an issue for him getting into office, loyalty to Sturgeon was.
The author is an idiot who doesn’t know jack about UK politics, and most of the comments on this thread are ignorant and embarrassing.
This is an example:
Note that the National WW2 Museum explicitly breaks out “minority” numbers but nowhere do you see the White total. You have to subtract it from the overall.
Wanna find the actual White total? You can’t even get that!
https://search.brave.com/search?q=white+total+troops+wwii&source=web
Note that all the search returns focus on “minority participation” and of course imply that Nisei soldiers won the war in the Pacific.
And the ever nauseating Wokipedia finally mentions way down at the bottom in a table that the actual percentage of White people (the um, cough, Americans) were 87.3% of all “inductees” up through 1945. If you actually broke out combat unit demography it would be far higher: blacks were mainly support units and the actual combat numbers were tiny...but of course amplified as to achievement. The truth is that the US military in WWII was overwhelmingly White, as everyone knew before 1990, apparently.

And the picture they post is of Daniel Inouye, who leveraged his “fame” to become a Senator where he routinely used his war experience to castigate any who objected to his anti-American policies. Funny, but my relatives who died in battles like the Bulge didn’t get a chance to do that. They got dead.
You can chatter all ya want about how they’re just Ordinary Everyday Britons but the facts are that they are ALL foreigners. You also forgot to mention the vile Sadiq Khan, a straight up Muslim Supremacist Pak. Intentional? Of course you knew.
Funny but my ancestry goes back to York in the 1600s and thence back for who knows, at least another 800 years. Lost in the sands of time. NONE of these people were anywhere NEAR that island until after 1970, LONG after the English Empire came and went. Being “British” isn’t a matter of civic nationalism, it’s genetics bubba. And except for the halfling, they ain’t got them.
It is not unlike the ubiquitous casting of black actors in British period pieces. Blacks play prominent roles Austin and Dickens and more recently a dancer from Singapore was chosen to portray a young Queen Elizabeth II, there apparently being no white English actress available to play the role.
And back to WWII, you are more likely to see the poster of Doris Miller at Pearl Harbor than photos of Halsey and Nimitz in the history books being used. Miller was brave and did his duty, but really no more than hundreds of others whose names have been forgotten.
But this is not that new a phenomenon. Crispus Attucks is always mentioned, but the four other guys killed at the Boston Massacre....crickets.
