The strange thing about this "multicultural" society is that it can
celebrate every imaginable culture except the one that allows all these
cultures to co-exist alongside each other -- and all the time with
enthusiasm from pundits and politicians, busy trying to pretend that this is
all the most wonderful result imaginable.
The national census for England and Wales has come out, and, as usual, this
once-a-decade event has had all of its most significant points overlooked.
By any measure, what it reveals is a country undergoing seismic change. Over
the course of a decade up to four million more people have entered the
country to live. In the capital, London, people identifying themselves as "
white British" have for the first time become a minority. Perhaps most
strikingly, the national Muslim population has doubled.
This last fact is perhaps one of the least considered of the census so far.
Doubled? Surely not. This has to be the claim of Mark Steyn or some other
demographics-obsessed nut. Well no, it isn't, and it is now official:
between 2001 and 2011 the Muslim population of the UK rose from 1.5 million
to 2.7 million. Otherwise put, that is an increase from 3 percent to 4.8
percent of the overall population. |
