And Albania in 1492 had precisely what relative to "native" tribes...oh wait, it had a bunch of "native" "tribes"...?

Be careful,or there might be those who could understand you to be dissing multiculturalism by way of the superiority of Europeans compared to "natives",which some could feel might shine a window on underlying reasons for such distaste towards multiculturalism...

Bertie, I appreciate that you haven't encountered this because you live in a county where the population is over 97% white but the rate of immigration over the past decade has ruined communities.

Do you not think that instead of just dumping people in places, those encouraging immigration should have done more to assist in integration of people into communities, whilst also seeking to give comfort to those living in said communities that they will not be ignored?

If that had happened, Remain might have won the Referendum.

Why have you posted this? Are you trying to make a point that people criticising various governments poor (or no) action with regards to integrating immigrants into British communities can be proved wrong with the use of statistics?

Bertie, read this:

Kind of suggests that where you are living is populated by an overwhelming white, UK majority.

I don't know why you cannot just accept this and stop telling people living in multicultural areas what they should do or think about having hundreds of thousands of people dumped in their communities, with little or no guidance or assistance from government on making the integration easier.

The population of your town is under 15,000. Therefore, the 5% of 'non white U.K.' residents is approximately 740.

Bertie, I think it is wonderful that you know all of them personally and you exist in a real life Benetton advert/Paul McCartney & Stevie Wonder scenario. Do you dance down the streets together singing 'We will overcome' every morning, before all sitting down to Chai and listening to Ladysmith Black Mambazo?

I find it heartening that this demographic gives you wide ranging experience of multiculturalism and you are able to detail all the issues forthcoming from it. Theinhabitants of similarly multicultural places, such as Rochdale, Oldham, Bradford, Luton and even the fear old Cronx, will no doubt accept that you are some sort of authoritative voice on the matter and will never think that you are patronising blowhard who appears to be suffering from middle class/middle aged guilt and wants to be the 'least racist man in the village'.

You don't like it up you, do you?

Now, before you go into complete very late teenage angst meltdown some figures for you that will cheer you up.

It appears the vast majority of places in the UK are populated by over 85% of "white,UK,British" with loads of the 90% mark.
