[Mick-Talbot]

Although an increase here........Muslim, 2.7 million people or 4.8% of the population, up from 1.8% in 2001.

the arrival of religious Pakistanis and Poles should help to hold back the tides of irreligion.

And 20% of the people in young offenders institutions are now Muslim.

How to ruin a once great country.

And that is only those who bothered to fill in their Censors form.

[jno]

is that somehow worse than when all young offenders were Christian, or what?

[Mick-Talbot]

Young offenders are probably atheist, jno.


The second-most common category was "No religion", comprising more than a quarter of the population (25.1%; 14.1 million), up from 7.7 million (14.8%) in 2001.

[jake-the-peg]

So that will mean that at this rate muslims will make up 50% of the population in what? about 200 years?

Can we stop all the "Britistahn" nonsense now then?

[anotheoldgit]

Just 44.9% of Londoners are White British, according to census data

[jake-the-peg]

Yes well as we never get bored of telling some people, Britain doesn't stop outside of London!

[friedgreentomato]

Oh my goodness Jake you mean there is more beyond London - well slap my thigh and call me shirley!!!

[jake-the-peg]

Scarecely crdible is it?

Guess what they even included them in the census!

They'll be letting them vote next!

[NOX]

So therefore VHG 80% of young offenders are NOT Muslim, and whyever would you think that Atheists were more likely to commit crime Mick? Is there a basis for that other than personal 'opinion'?

[RATTER15]

Mick if you find the statistics you will find that world wide, the most crime ridden areas are the areas with the least atheists and the highest are the highly religouis areas.

* religious

[sandyRoe]

Crime has more to do with poverty than religion. Before 'The Troubles' in NI there were more Catholics in prison for ordinary crimes than Protestants despite the fact that there's a bigger Protestant population here.

[bazwillrun]

so, we need a 11 year old out of date census to tell us what we already know....that immigration is out of control, that London is virtually a white minority...coming to a town/city /village near you..

imagine giving those stats to somebody 50 years ago and saying thats the state of your country in 50 years time , theyd probably have laughed at you.

go forward 50 years, any predictions as to the makeup of this country (whats left of it) !?

Sadly and worryingly lot of people seem quite happy for it to happen.

[pdq1]

The white British is going the way of the Dodo. It was in the census that London makes up only 45%. This will reduce much further in the next decade due to high fertility rates amongst non whites.

This is not a racist statement just facts in the census.

Outside London the figures are not so bad however the trend is the same.

[jake-the-peg]

Why does it matter what colour a Briton is?

If there was a really good candidate for a party you'd otherwise support would you note vote for them because they weren't white?

[LazyGun]

@Baz - The figures released today are from the 2011 census- ie 1 year old - hardly out of date, and certainly not by 11 years.

Census data from 2001 has relevance today also, because historical data sets aid us in establishing trends, and the rates of change -All very useful data.

2011 was last year, baz. What time zone are you in?
