The Great White Replacement: How Mass Immigration is Erasing Britain’s Identity and Australia’s Too, By Richard Miller (Londonistan)
Britain today is facing a transformation more profound and permanent than any experienced in its post-war history. While political leaders fumble with slogans and soundbites, the data emerging from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) is ringing alarm bells too loud to ignore: mass migration is not just altering the demographics of Britain, it is upending the very foundations of the nation.
In the year up to mid-2024, England and Wales added over 706,000 people to their population. Of that staggering figure, 98%, some 690,000 people, came from net international migration. Only 30,000 were added by natural population growth, births minus deaths. This is not a marginal trend. It is a demographic revolution. And it is accelerating.
The three highest years of population growth since records began in 1949 are now 2022, 2023, and 2024, all driven almost entirely by immigration. This is not organic growth. It is a top-down, technocratic importation of a new people, facilitated by a political class that no longer believes in borders, nationhood, or the right of a people to exist as a coherent culture.
The numbers are stark enough, but the deeper issue is cultural. As Professor Matthew Goodwin has bluntly put it: this is about the survival of the country. And he's right.
When critics raise concerns about the erosion of British values, customs, or even the English language in urban schools, they are shouted down as racists or reactionaries. But what we are witnessing is not the peaceful coexistence of cultures, it is a managed transition to a post-British Britain.
Once the demographic foundation of a nation shifts, its institutions, norms, and sense of belonging follow. You cannot flood a nation with millions of people from incompatible value systems, often hostile to liberal democracy, free speech, gender equality, or Christian heritage, and expect to maintain social cohesion. Integration, where it even occurs, is often a euphemism for assimilation of the host.
This disaster is not accidental. It is the product of deliberate betrayal by successive governments, who, while promising to reduce immigration, did the opposite. Post-Brexit, Boris Johnson's government quietly dismantled EU migration caps, only to open the floodgates to the rest of the world. The result is clear: the British people were sold a sovereignty bill of goods, but what they got was a passport stamp in exchange for a social contract ripped to shreds.
There is no housing to support this influx. Only 124,000 new homes were built in the past year, far less than the number of migrants admitted. The NHS is cracking. Schools are overloaded. Wages are stagnating. And social trust, the invisible glue of any nation, is fraying.
Goodwin's latest research is chilling. On current trends, the white British population will become a minority in their own country by 2063. By 2100, he estimates they could constitute just 22.7% of the total population.
This is not hyperbole. This is not conspiracy. These are official projections based on current policy. And yet the mainstream parties, Conservative and Labour alike, continue to talk about immigration as if it were a tweakable variable, not the primary force reshaping the country's destiny.
We are long past the point where polite discussion will suffice. If these numbers continue, we are heading not just for demographic change, but for cultural erasure.
It is not "xenophobic" to want your grandchildren to grow up in a country that still feels like home. It is not "far Right" to demand that national policy serve the people whose ancestors built the roads, the courts, the churches, and the common law. Borders are moral. Limits are moral. Sovereignty is moral.
The choice is stark. Britain can either protect its identity, culture, and cohesion, or it can continue down this path of dissolution. But it cannot do both. As Goodwin said plainly: you can have mass immigration or you can have affordable housing, social trust, and cultural continuity, but you cannot have all of them.
The solution begins with ending mass migration immediately. That means not only slamming the brakes on new arrivals, but also reassessing residency, citizenship, and access to public benefits. It also means rebuilding a pro-family, pro-natal state, one that encourages young Britons to marry, have children, and remain in the communities they grew up in.
In short, Britain needs a policy of demographic self-respect.
For too long, critics of immigration have been gaslit into silence. But as the data shows, they were right all along. The survival of Britain is at stake, not as a global brand, not as a multicultural experiment, but as a living nation.
If that sounds extreme, it's only because the reality is now undeniable. The same considerations apply to Australia, which has the highest immigration rate per capita in the Western world, with majority Asian immigrants, and will become majority non-White long before Britain.
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2025/07/31/disaster-mass-migration-drives-near-record-population-growth-in-britain/"Mass migration was the overwhelming driver of near record high population growth in England and Wales last year, sparking warnings that Britain is fighting for its very "survival".
The three top years for population growth in modern history were 2022, 2023, and 2024 says the Office for National Statistics, revealing the population of England and Wales rose by 706,881 people in the year up to mid-2024 to a total of 61.8 million people.
The official statistician noted that 98 per cent of the population growth was due to the net migration of 690,147 during the time period, the BBC states.
In comparison, natural population growth, or the number of births compared to deaths, only accounted for an addition of 29,982 people to the population.
The population growth was the second-highest recorded since 1949, when official records began.
However, last year's numbers only trailed those from the prior year, when the population rose by 821,210 in large part as a result of the post-Brexit immigration reforms instituted by former Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
This came as a result of the Johnson government opening up migration paths for non-EU nations and refusing to institute a hard annual cap on migration, despite having vowed to the public that he would cut immigration, as successive previous Tory governments also failed to deliver.
Commenting on the data, the ONS's Nigel Henretty said: "Net international migration continues to be the main driver of this growth, continuing the long-term trend seen since the turn of the century."

Professor Matt Goodwin said that the figures represented a "disaster" for Britain and said that the government must halt mass migration and begin to enact pro-family policies as a matter of urgency, as is done in nations such as Hungary, Israel, and Poland.
Appearing on GB News on Wednesday evening, Prof Goodwin said: "This is about the survival of the country… The West and Western nations now need to start talking about family policy in terms of survival."
Goodwin suggested that the government could create generous tax incentives for families, but stressed that they should only be limited to British citizens and not be accessible to foreign nationals, as are many state benefits in modern Britain.
The professor also highlighted the issue of housing as a crucial factor in family formation, attributing the supply crunch and soaring prices to mass migration. Notably, only around 124,000 houses were built in Britain last year, significantly fewer than the number of migrants admitted into the country.
"You can have affordable, available housing in this country, or you can have mass, uncontrolled immigration. You cannot have both. And we need a political leader that has the guts to stand up and say that to the British people," he said.
Professor Goodwin has recently sounded the alarm about the demographic effects of the mass migration agenda imposed on the country by both Westminster establishment parties, producing a report last month which found that if current trends continue, the white British population will become a minority in their own country by 2063 and would fall to just 22.7 per cent by 2100.
