Lord Foulkes says I'm a bad historian for saying the Saxons are indigenous🤦♂️
Maori are accepted as indigenous to NZ. They arrived in 1300s
Saxons arrived in the 600s! England is named after the Angles!
The Celts & Saxons are indigenous due to 1,300+ yrs habitation with no major changes to demography
The Normans conquered Britain but, like the Romans, they only changed the demography by around 1%. It wasn't until the 1950s that the population began to fundamentally change. Even then the change was minimal.
None of this is to attack or criticize early immigration in the 20th century.
As late as 1991, 94% of England was ethnically White British. Most people were able to trace their ancestry back to Iron Age Britons or Saxons
The rate of immigration, where the indigenous remain above 90%, seems fair and reasonable.
Why Lord Foulkes thinks I'm indigenous, I have no idea.
I'm not indigenous to this island, even though, via my mother, I descend from both King Harold (the last Saxon king) and William the Conqueror. The Heydels, coincidentally, are of Saxon origin (OG German rather than Anglo).
But let me just say why both Foulkes and Mensch are completely deluded:
Britain had had more immigration in the past 20 years than the past 2000 years.
Between 1991 and today, the white British population has declined from 94% to 73%. That is a dangerous and unprecedented rate of change.
20% of people in Britain are foreign born. 40% of people living in London are foreign born. Only 33% of Londoners are white British.
London is a template for what will happen to Britain.
The character of a city and a country are shaped by the culture, habits, customs, attitudes, etiquette, and collective memory of their inhabitants.
Most people in London today have never heard of the Blitz or Christopher Wren. They have no loyalty to the city, no interest in its culture, history and way of life.
This is the fate of England and Britain if action is not taken.
Yet in the video debate below, I'm up against not only a Labour Lord but a supposedly right-wing commentator such as Mrs. Mensch, who told me that the fact that 73% of Britain is still White British means there's nothing to worry about.
Excuse me?
The White British population declined 20%+ in 30 years.
The British and English will become an ethnic minority in the next few decades. That is nothing to worry about?
How can we expect foreigners to integrate and buy into the culture and society of a country where the indigenous population are themselves an ethnic minority?
What will the common culture, music, sport, humour television, film be?
This is madness. And it must be called out.
