Changing Face of Britain: How UK Could Overtake the United States as the West's Most Ethnically[-]diverse Nation by 2050
MAIL ONLINE: Britain to experience one of the biggest changes in population, study says / By 2050 non-whites and foreigners could account for 38% of people in UK / David Cameron claims arrivals Romania and Bulgaria will be limited

Britain is on course to become one of the most diverse countries in the world.

New research suggests up to half of people in the UK will be foreign or from an ethnic minority within half a century.

It means the UK could overtake the United States as the world’s melting pot, with fewer people describing themselves as British or white.

The projection comes after David Cameron sought to reassure voters that The influx of migrants from Bulgaria and Romania will be ‘nothing like’ the levels seen when Poland joined the European Union[.]

A report by Oxford academics reveals the extent that immigration is changing the face of countries around the world.

Professor David Coleman said: ‘On current trends European populations will become more ethnically diverse, with the possibility that today’s majority ethnic groups will no longer comprise a numerical majority in some countries.’ » | Matt Chorley, MailOnline Political Editor | Wednesday, May 01, 2013

Blair Defends Opening the Door to Mass Migration and Says It Had a Very Positive Impact on Britain

MAIL ONLINE: Former PM said it was 'right’ that the country was made up of different cultures and faiths mixing together

Tony Blair has defended Labour’s controversial mass immigration policy by claiming that Britain cannot succeed unless it opens its borders to more people from different backgrounds.

The former prime minister said it was 'right’ that the country was made up of different cultures and faiths mixing together.

Mr Blair added that migrants had made Britain 'stronger’ and said those calling for greater curbs on foreigners entering the country were wrong.

His comments come just days after official figures revealed that the population is expected to soar by the equivalent of a city the size of Leeds every year for the next decade.

A defiant Mr Blair insisted his party’s policy on immigration was the right one. He said: 'It’s been a very positive thing and there is no way for a country like Britain to succeed in the future unless it is open to people of different colours, faiths and cultures.’ Read on and comment » | Kirsty Walker | Saturday, October 29, 2011

My comment:

That man is arrogant! He's full of his own importance, and wrong! He should hang his head in shame because of the wrongs he has done to this country. He deliberately set out to make the country multi-cultural against the people's wishes. He should be hanged, drawn, and quartered for the destruction he has wrought. The man is a disgrace! And stupid, to boot! – © Mark

Berlusconi's Anti-immigration Comments Spur Outcry
THE WASHINGTON POST: ROME (Reuters) - Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's open rejection of the vision of a multi-ethnic Italy sparked sharp debate Sunday, winning praise from far-right allies and accusations of racism from the left.

Berlusconi's conservative government has won public favor by cracking down on illegal immigration, allowing the premier to go a step further as he defended Saturday a new policy to deport migrants to Libya before they arrive on Italian shores.

"The left's idea is of a multi-ethnic Italy," Berlusconi told a news conference. "That's not our idea, ours is to welcome only those who meet the conditions for political asylum."

Long a country of emigrants, Italy in recent years has been grappling with an influx of poor African migrants arriving on its shores and Eastern Europeans seeking work, sparking fears over crime and a loss of national identity.

Opposition lawmakers denounced the premier's comments as racist and told him to accept Italy would inevitably become multi-cultural whether Italians liked it or not. >>> By Deepa Babington, Reuters | Sunday, May 10, 2009
