The UK is set to be one of the worst performing major economies in the world this year, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

It says the UK economy's performance in 2023 will be the worst among the 20 biggest economies, known as the G20, which includes sanctions-hit Russia. (BBC website 11.4.23)

I disengage, I turn the page.

Yet an immutable Remainer doctrine is that all the nasty people that voted Leave did not want uncontrollable immigration from the EU - the vast majority of EU immigrants of course being white.

I don't think that mass immigration of people of any colour is a solution to anything.
You are simply parroting a flawed formula.
With every wave of migrants comes net increased population size and a need for more infrastructure to support it. They have more children in the first generation which would be good for taxation and filling menial jobs if they all paid tax, which many don't, and want to fill necessary job vacancies, which many don't. The downside is that start having less children in the subsequent generations and get old too.
The upshot is that you have to keep having new waves of immigrants to maintain the birth rate which will mean that the culture and genetic and historical heritage of this country will evaporate to be replaced by pseudo history with none of our descendants here to benefit from thousands of years of toil and advancement by their ancestors.

The only real solution is to encourage people here already to have more children, instead of disincentivising them at every turn. Then in one generation we will have more young people and no more supposed need for immigrants.

Why am I telling you this? You couldn't care less about overpopulation or the future of indigenous British people.

If you want to talk about race. Just look around at almost unrecognisable, divided, over sensitive, violent, crime ridden cauldron of racial tension Britain has now become because of mass immigration.

Do you remember the good old days when we didn't have to worry about all this crap? Perhaps in Cornwall it's still 1950.

A great deal more than about 1/4 of 1% per annum!

Michael Vaughan doesn't come over as a racist to me, but I suspect he now realises that his remark was both unwise and inaccurate. There may well not be as many English people who look like him as there once were living in London, but there are many who have either been naturalised, or are the children and grandchildren of the naturalised. They are just as English as you, me and Michael Vaughan. Unfortunately, some folk struggle to come to terms with that fact.

Yes. Unless the last census was wrong.
By this logic anyone moving to China be Chinese in five years.
