The consequence, as revealed by the latest census, is that white Brits are now in a minority in London, making up just 45% of its residents.
The movement of the white British is often characterised as white flight - the indigenous population forced out of their neighbourhoods by foreign migrants. That may be part of the story, but I think the evidence suggests it is also about working class aspiration and economic success.
It would appear that, in the first decade of the 21st Century, the dream of escaping to the country became a reality for tens of thousands of urban white Britons. But did they leave willingly or were they forced to move?

The irony is the type of white people leaving london for the most part are scum, and they're not much wanted in the places they're moving to. They're bringing lots of crime, drugs and a dole-dossing culture.
It's the worst of london who are fleeing. The racist underclass.

We are a dying breed in our own country. We've gone from 2.4 children as an average reproduction rate per family down to 1.9 children per family. In real terms, that equates to a declining indigenous population. The increase in the UK population in recent years has to be almost certainly immigration driven.
Not saying it's a good thing or a bad thing, just an observation.

I know I'll get slammed for this, but this entire article is racist, and intended to stir white pride in the UK.
Then the article goes on to find the most xenophobic reactions and tout them as general opinion. I'm sorry, this article is just awful and ignorant.

How does 45% of a population constitute a minority when the other 55% is made up of MINORITIES?

Care to back that with some stats or you just generalising for the sake of it? Not saying your speaking rubbish but those people that you talk about very rarely move out of the areas they were brought up in. Mostly down to lack of money seeing as they are all "dole-dossing" as you so kindly put it. Social mobility usually comes to those with skills looking for a better quality of life.

I am sure the BBC are thrilled with the result of this census, and will be happier still when foreigners make up 100% of the population in our capital city. I wonder how they will feel about the multicultural experiment in 20 years time, when londonistan is under sharia law..

Nobody seems to notice the massive influx of christians, it's a much larger influx than muslims, as it goes. The Eastern Europeans and Africans arriving here are mainly christian.
I'd say immigration is one of the few things that is keeping Christianity relevant. Be careful what you wish for. There are so few British born Christians left that it would be a genuine atheist takeover if the borders were ever closed.

I've got no idea why they're coming up here but they're here, abusing welfare, stood outside the bookies at 10am with their super strength lager in hand, talking about how bad it is in london with all the n-word this, n-word that.
Council doesn't seem to mind giving them houses, maybe that's why they're moving up here? Send 'em home, that's what I say.

Why is 'white' Britain touted as more authentic than 'mixed' Britain? Because that is what Britain is and always has been, a long history of being invaded, a nation of mongrels. Now the mongrels think they have a pedigree? And that is whiteness...
