White children in Birmingham 'a minority' this year because of immigration

Why go to the Third World when the Third World can be brought to you? Future historians will look back in amazement at how quick and thorough the conquest of Britain was; how it fell like a ripe plum. The conquest of a proud and powerful country which fought two world wars in the same century to prevent being invaded  by a neighbor… but yet was afterward invaded from every far corner of the earth without even a whimper of resistance or a shot fired! There’ll always be an England. It just won’t always be populated by the English. This is the fate of all Western countries....and we stand by and pretend we're all for "diversity", too scared to say anything in case we're branded racists.

Children from white families are in the minority in both Birmingham and Leicester, according to researchers.


More than half of those under 16 in the cities are now from black, Asian and other ethnic communities, they believe.

White children make up 47 per cent of the population in both cities, the researchers estimate.

The figures, which are expected to be confirmed by this year’s census, mean that for the first time white children are a minority group, although they are the biggest single ethnic group.


A report on Birmingham suggests that the figures could be explained by a younger population, more white families moving out of the city, and immigration.


The report estimates that in 2006, 53 per cent of children under 16 in Birmingham - Britain’s second biggest city - were from white families.

It also forecast that the proportion of children aged under 16 who are from ethnic minorities will rise to about 64 per cent by 2026, while the proportion of children from white families will be 36 per cent.

In Leicester it is predicted that children from white families will make up 31.8 per cent of under 16s by 2026.

At the time of the last census in 2001, 70.4 per cent of Birmingham’s population of all age ranges was white and 29.6 per cent from a variety of ethnic backgrounds, dominated by those with Asian, Caribbean and African origins.

It is predicted that by 2024 no ethnic group will form a majority. At present the total population of the city is just over one million.

In Leicester, white British people made up 60.54 per cent of the population at the time of the 2001 census.

According to the University of Manchester predictions, Leicester will become Britain’s first city where no ethnic group forms a majority in about 2019. Leicester’s population at present is more than 300,000.

Professor Ludi Simpson, who led the research team, said: ‘In Leicester and Birmingham, the white group will remain the largest by far – though it will not account for a majority of the population as a whole.

‘These and most other cities are already diverse with many different ethnic minorities.

‘Indeed it is indisputable that whether the whole of Britain or its city districts are considered, there will be more cultures represented in more equal numbers than in the past.’

The findings for Birmingham chime with Department for Education figures released last January.

They showed that 43 per cent of children at Birmingham’s primary and secondary schools were white. Out of 148,900 pupils attending council-run schools, 63,800 were white.

The 2011 census is being conducted in March, when 25million households across England and Wales will be required by law to answer a range of questions including who is registered as living at a property, their age, their education and their ethnicity.

The results, the first official figures since 2001, will be announced later this year.
