Trump's travel ban exposes where the priorities of Britain's mealy-mouthed politicians really lie — Kelvin MacKenzie

In a good piece of work Matt Goodwin, professor of politics at Kent University (it's based on ONS stats and census data) shows that in 40 years the percentage of white Britons will fall from 73 per cent today to below 50 per cent in 2063 and down to 33.7 per cent at the end of century.

What fearful numbers they are. Already, in London and Birmingham, whites have ceased to be the majority.

Meanwhile, the Muslim population, which currently stands at seven per cent, will rise to 11.2 per cent within the next 25 years and account for 19.2 per cent by the end of the century.

Okay, that's 75 years away, and you can say that won’t affect you, but it will definitely affect your very young grandchildren. The idea that the whites will be only 33 per cent, with the Muslims being on 20 per cent, does alarm me.

At the last election, we saw Muslim voters flex their political muscles against Labour in a big way. And that’s when they had only seven per cent of the population behind them. Imagine the power they would have in Parliament and the number of MPs they would elect, as they tend to live close to each other in the same towns and cities.

If our population were still 68million in 2100 they would be representing over 12million people. I can’t believe that will help social cohesion.

Personally, I don’t want the colour of and culture of my country to change any more than it has done over the last 40 years. In the 80s, the percentage of Muslims was three per cent. I never voted for this change. Did you? I want immigration to be slowed and preferably stopped until we have the housing, schools and doctors to handle this surge.

In the first instance, we have to stop legal immigration. It will mean more tech, more jobs unfilled and relying on clever entrepreneurs coming up with fresh employment solutions. It will also mean wages rising. A nice bonus.

Surely that’s better than importing people from countries we have no cultural or religious link with and hoping for the best. Major employers have been relying on cheap migrant labour for too damned long.

A West End restaurateur I know told me only yesterday that every day, young male Pakistanis/Bangladeshis knock on his door offering to work at a significant discount to minimum pay, but as they had the right to work papers, he turned them away.

You can be absolutely sure that not everybody is as such an upright employer as my longtime friend.

The next issue is that if the French won’t do their duty, we must simply push back the migrants at Calais. Fifty thousand will arrive this year and possibly every year until 2029 when Starmer gets thrown out and Reform comes in.

That’s 200,000 people, the vast majority being Muslim, so they disappear into towns where they know there is a religious link.

It’s too easy to blame Starmer for creating an ‘’island of strangers’’. The Tories were even more to blame. In 2023, 906,000 foreigners came to work here. And Boris Johnson thinks quite wrongly that the UK would welcome him back with open arms. Get real.

Boris, you had your chance and you did nothing to unify the people around a shared identity, shared values and a way of life. Just make your speeches at £1million a time and knock out the occasional book (and child), and leave rescuing the nation to Nigel Farage.
