My wife's mum is not very well at all and the rest of her family are up this way where she grew up so she wanted to be closer to them. She's a teacher and got offered a job up here so decided to make the jump. I still work in London (or did until March and now work from my dining room table) so the commute is not pleasant.

Apparently I did it because I don't like ethnic minorities though.

We're just south of Colchester so we obviously have good taste in women (or the same bad one...)

I hope you are right and I agree that there will be resistance....but those people are already being persecuted by the state, corporations and by activists.

Personally while I think there is a moral duty to object to what is happening I think the chance to avoid demographic minority status was lost when Powell wasn't listened to back in 68.....he had a large majority in the country supporting him. But the elites were playing a different game and the boomers didn't do what was necessary, which was riot until he was listened to.....as we now see, rioting and threatening the elites works a treat.

If it didn't happen then....back when 'racism' wasn't even an insult weapon used by the left....it isn't going to happen now.

The problem with the English/British is that they always trusted their elites.....they fought off invasions for centuries. But as soon as the elites saw advantages to being globalists they sold the very ground beneath them.....indirectly mocking every fallen soldier who thought he was defending his homeland.

The idea of a "white British minority" got me thinking. Would there be any benefit to being a minority?

The Equality Act has protected characteristics, but there seems to be no special protection for minorities. The same rules apply to everyone, just as it should be.

Internationally, United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Minorities requires states to protect the existence and identities of minorities. It also calls upon states to encourage the promotion of national or ethnic, cultural, religious and linguistic identities.

I doubt much of this was written with Western Europe in mind, perhaps protection of Welsh Language, but it seems that if "white british" become a minority then they stand to have a lot better protection than they do now.

Of course, this was a quick Google search so can't be trusted.

I should add that I'm not too fussed about the UK being a mixing pot, its always been invaded by celts, vikings, saxons, French, Romans. Just as long as its not detrimental to the standard of living.

I have so far stayed out of this thread's little diversion onto one of this section of the Hol's favourite subjects, "whiteness", whilst we wait for Trump to implode, as my views have been expressed before.

Despite all of the articles written and the commonly held beliefs both in the media and public perceptions, I think using skin colour to describe people is a big mistake when what is really meant are cultural differences.

Which set me thinking. How "white" or "black" are we anyway? I have French and Spanish not too far back in my bloodline. The Spanish have quite a lot of Moorish blood in theirs. Most of us will have similar links.

Take a look at this:- [Link]

Just one extract might be enough:-

"The average African-American genome, for example, is 73.2% African, 24% European, and 0.8% Native American, the team reports online today in The American Journal of Human Genetics. Latinos, meanwhile, carry an average of 18% Native American ancestry, 65.1% European ancestry (mostly from the Iberian Peninsula), and 6.2% African ancestry."

The problem though is that as most people don't look beyond the skin colour the descriptive language is actually very important.

I guess you don’t class yourself as one of the “most people” then.
