    If you go back one, to those who are 2nd generation how many 3rd generation kids do they have etc.

    So based on immigration, what is the proportion of

    1st
    2nd
    3rd
    4th
    5th
    ..
    ..
    ..
    ..
    Picts
    Saxons etc

    Just wondering what the true level is if you go 1-3, >3
    No immigrant Angles ?

    But back to my rant. If we compared the makeup of the UK at the beginning of the 1970s to now, based on people/generations who were 'British' then, what would the make up of those families be now versus 'imports'. What has been natural growth, versus 40 years of imports.

    Was Enoch right?

    Still confused.
    Depends on what your father was, and whether your mother was actually British, but travelling in India.

    While we're at it, just watching the news on migration from Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq, can anyone tell me what the impact of Tony Blairs actualy foreign policy and warmongering is?

    Very interesting scare mongering article from the Daily Mail. 8.3 million people living in the UK now born aboard, 27% of new babies born are to immigrants.

    Now what I thought was interesting was, this isn't right is it. If 8.3 Million people living in the UK where born aboard and have 27% of new babies, then's that
    's an extra 2.5 million odd. But they're not going to be 'born outside' they're born inside, so that's now 8.3 million born outside and 2.5 million (2nd generation).

    When you look at London, it;s quite obvious that 80% are 'foreign'. And 2nd and 3rd generation immigrants are classed as 'British' but as we know in a lot of cases, have not integrated.

    On that basis, what is the real number of 1st,2nd,3rd,4th and 5th Immigration. How many can class thenselves as true British?
    Good news for your fantasy BTL empire, eh?
