Comment on Britain ignored its far-right threat and demonized Muslims. Now racist mobs have spiraled out of control.

You know that immigration is the only thing that’s preventing a population decline in America and mitigating or demographic deterioration. How’s England doing on that front? Let’s see:

…ox.ac.uk/…/the-impact-of-migration-on-uk-populat…

Official figures projected that the UK’s population would grow from 67 million in 2021 to 77 million in 2046, and that net migration would account for 92% of this growth. In an alternative variant where net migration was zero, the population would be lower in 2031 than it was in 2021.

So unless they want to stare down the barrel of demographic collapses like China, Japan, and South Korea currently are, the right-wing Brits better suck it up and welcome their new neighbors. Otherwise the economy and all the government services that if pays for are going to collapse under the load of too many pensions and medical expenses, and not enough tax revenue to pay for them.
