It's you who is fooled. You are fooling yourself.

You are very far from a "normal regular person". Such people don't believe in things like "The Great Replacement" theory or bang on about whiteness and immigration in everything they write.

You are part of the sizeable minority who are out of touch with the modern world and how it impacts us, along with everywhere else.

I am glad though to know you haven't encountered this newspaper as that means its spread is limited, even if some of its ideas are only too familiar.

You might not be aware of this, but in the real world, predictions are made using trends. Not wishful thinking from deluded ageing men who move to the farthest reaches of England where the spread of migrants is yet to seriously impact.

Give it a little more time.

There is absolutely no reason to suspect that the current trend of migration, illegal or legal, will alter anytime soon. And even if it does reduce significantly, the damage is already done.

As far as 'replacement' goes. You don't seem to grasp how easily that can happen when an existing population only has a certain percentage at child bearing age with a low birth rate, and huge numbers of migrants arrive yearly at child bearing age with a higher birth rate.

There is no point in trying to convince those that don't want to be convinced.

Of course, predictions can be made using trends. No one argues otherwise. That's especially true of short-term predictions when the context of prevailing circumstances isn't going to change.

It is though completely different when trying to predict what will happen many years hence, when our world is changing so fast that accurate forecasts for even a few months ahead are impossible.

I am old enough to remember the arrival of previous waves of immigration. Of the Windrush generation, the open door to citizens of the Commonwealth who were automatically regarded as British, the Indians from Uganda etc etc. The noise we hear from people like you was heard then too. Predictions we would be "over-run". Back then there was naked racism.

It hasn't happened. We have changed as a country, for sure. We are culturally different but we are still British. How many doctors are there who can trace their heritage to India? How many footballers can trace theirs to Africa?

Listen to the pride in the voices of these people, talking with British accents about British history and heritage.

We face another period of change, which itself presents some special challenges, but we won't be replaced. We will simply be changed and our great-grandchildren might read your words and wonder what on earth you were talking about.

I will only make one prediction. What you predict won't happen.

You downplay gang-rapes of children, bombings of concerts, trains and buses, stabbings, shootings and killings by vehicle as 'challenges'. Meanwhile you praise immigration.

Hasn't happened? It's happened in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Leicester.
