Today's #Census results reveal that 42% of the 10 million foreign-born residents in England arrived in last decade.

Foreign born population:

1851: 0.6%
1901: 1.5%
1951: 4.2%
2001: 8.3%
2011: 12.7%
2021: 16.6%

This cannot continue, as I explained in my @NewCultureForum lecture:

Imagine linking Churchill & Khan and Elgar & Stormzy

This MP's blissfully unaware he's merely charting how far Britain has sunk

Some more?
Britain is:

Concorde & HS2
Rolls-Royce & potholes
Cadbury & US-owned Cadbury
Blackadder & Nish Kumar
Fortnum & Mason & US candy shops
🤦‍♂️

Sorry, @Surfer17Silver, "I am & have always been" Catholic. I was once a Eucharistic Minister, in fact

The only Jewish connection I know of is that my Catholic grandmother's great aunt, Princess Terka Jablonowska, married Maurice Bernhardt, the son of the legendary Jewish actress Sarah Bernhardt, once one of the most famous women in the world, welcomed by Europe's royal houses. Maurice's father was the Prince de Ligne. I'm delighted to be friendly with Sarah's descendants, one lives in England.

My grandparent's family estates in Poland included, amongst numerous churches, a synagogue and, in their main market town (Bursztyn) approx. 2000 jews.

They and the rest of the family treated them well (my great-grandmother insisted on easing previous restrictions regrettably put in place by my earlier forebears).

They constructed homes for them near the palace courtyard to encourage trade and artisanship. They were respected in return.

Attached is a photo of some of these Jews standing happily alongside a policeman and other Polish locals. They are in front of one of the many Jewish shops my family permitted. This is in Bursztyn.

It's called decency - and not being a rabid bigot. You should try it some time.

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.

Me on @GBNews:

Many people think Poland was created in 1918, like Estonia, Latvia & Czechoslovakia

In fact Poland is, like England, over 1000 yrs old

In the 16thC the Polish-Lithuanian union was the largest country in Europe

No European country's borders have changed more dramatically or tragically than Poland's

Having saved central Europe from Islamic conquest at the Battle of Vienna in 1683 (where my ancestor was commander-in-chief of Polish forces, incidentally), Poland was rewarded by disappearing completely from the map just a century later.

The very qualities that made England a liberal democracy (weak monarchy, strong aristocracy and Parliament) resulted in Poland being gobbled up by Prussia, Russia, and Austria in 1795

The difference? England was the big power on a secure island. Poland was a country with no geographic defences.

Had Poland been an island, it may well have followed in England's wake.

The result of Poland's unparalleled shifting borders is that the country which was once arguably Europe's most diverse, is now Europe's most homogenous.

At its peak in the 17th century, ethnic Poles accounted for only about 40% to 50% of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

Now, according to Poland's last national census, roughly 97.6% to 98.6% of registered residents are ethnic Poles

This video shows why the Poles today are so patriotic - and so determined to preserve their culture, heritage and identity.

The Poles know what it is to lose one's nation. After disappearing from the map altogether in the 18th century, under the 20th century communist jackboot their history and heroes were denigrated and rewritten, their achievements denied, their statues pulled down, their national symbols erased.

No surprise, therefore, that it has taken such a hard line against woke and immigration.

Poland once looked to Britain for inspiration.

Can Britain now learn from Poland?
