I’m not a social scientist in any way .
But I dont think ethnicity or religion are as important as the way a society evolves and takes everyone with it , like different streams joining a river .
Maybe we will all work till we drop , live in extended families , refuse or be refused expensive grey healthcare , as society evolves in a different direction .
Are not state pensions , a giant Ponzi scheme ?
“birth rates of British-born women of Pakistani and Bangladeshi” are statistically insignificant, because of their small percentage and because their fertility rates is nearer to the national average than the foreign-born average. The 1.70 might be 1.68 if we take all second-generation immigrants out, thus both round to 1.7.
The problem is not one of immigrants–be they Muslim or not–overwhelming a “fast shriveling Anglo-Celtic population” that is only a distraction of the real problem in UK society, one that you have presented in a very nice graph sometime ago, namely the unequal distribution of wealth!!
The 1.7 does not represent five children on average for every three randomly selected women, because children are also unequally distributed in the UK society. A minority of wealthy housewives–husbands working in finance for example–have 3 to 4 children each; on the other side poor single-mothers on welfare have 3 to 4 children each. This leaves those in the middle with 0 to 1 child each. I think that is a much more relevant issue than the fertility of foreign-born women.
Looking back at the last 500 years Europeans have demographically overwhelmed large parts of the world: First ethnically cleansing Muslims out of what is now considered “Christian” Europe, then they immigrated to the Americas, Southern Africa, Australia, et cetera. They even tried to settle in Muslim lands like Algeria and Libya, even today Polish settlers in Palestine are well entrenched. Russians maybe now declining, but one has to remember that they went out of Muscovy and overwhelmed Muslims for centuries.
The solution for demographic decline is VERY easy: bar women with less than two children from higher education and employment and encourage early marriage!! This of course will have to be accompanied by a set of social-regulation unacceptable to the most conservative, e.g. anti-adulatory laws, family-friendly public domain, gender-separated schools, et cetera. You can’t have Victorian demographics without Victorian morals!
Fabius Maximus replies: Do you have any links to support your data? Esp the following?
You might be right. These seem incorrect to me, but this is not a field in which I have any expert knowledge. More important — as you can see even on this brief thread — this subject seems to attract folks making confident but unsupport assertions.
“The next largest group were the 8.7 per cent who were recorded as Asian – of whom Pakistanis formed the biggest section with 3.7 per cent…Bangladeshi 8,241 (1.3 per cent)”.
“The Muslim population in the United Kingdom may now number as many as 2 million, the home secretary, Jacqui Smith, disclosed yesterday during an official visit to Pakistan…/… The 400,000 increase in the size of the Muslim community in less than seven years demonstrates its position as the fastest growing faith community in Britain, and also reflects the age structure of the community, with more than one-third under the age of 16 at the time of the 2001 census. Outside London, Pakistani Muslims make up more than 43% of the community, with Bangladeshis accounting for 17%, and those from India at 9%. In London, the Muslim community is more evenly split between Pakistani and Bangladeshi Muslims”.
What if the British welfare system doesnt survive ? Its good , but its not that good now . If you own your home , have savings , OR are self employed , OR are illiterate and inarticulate ( complex forms to fill in ) you are likely to be left out in the welfare cold .
There are proably other ideas / models to be explored .
The extended family model is one that stands the test of time and geography . You pay in through help and care , rather than money , while you can ; and hope that the family in which you were born , or into which you slid yourself , will care for you in turn .
If your extended family are true Muslims or Christians , your chances are even better .

We blatherumskites rarely get to rattle on about Irish ABCs (Alien Big Cats… not saucer-of-milk endowed extraterrestrials, but rather reports of large felines running loose in the Irish countryside), at least not to the extent that the phenomenon is said to take place in England, Scotland or Wales. Back in July 1997 *BBC Wildlife* magazine came under attack from Blather for its hyperbolic claims concerning the *Beasts of Dublin — Craze for macho pets lets loose wild animals on the streets* (See *The SAS, Aliens and Big Cats*), which claimed that one had to be careful navigating one’s way about the nation’s capital due to the proliferation of crazed syringe-waving lynx-owners.
Let it be known, apart from the odd procurement of maltreated caged pets by the Irish Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the eagle-eared spies of Blather Inc. are so far blissfully inexperienced in the fine art of Urban Big Cat Avoidance.
However, this is not to say that we are totally bereft of *rural* reports. Tony ‘Doc’ Shiels reported claims of a lynx in Co. Cork in Fortean Times 34:20, and FT101:24 showed a picture of an African caracal lynx shot by the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) in Fintona, Co. Tyrone on February 17th 1997. Other sightings are listed below. And while more ungulate than feline, that damned Wexford antelope is worth a mention.
On January 4th, 1999, the Belfast Telegraph (Or *The Belly Telly* as we have heard it referred to) told us that the ‘big cat is a dog’, and that according to the RUC, sightings of a ‘large puma-like cat in Tyrone over the weekend are probably shaggy dog stories’.
Apparently ‘the 5ft long, 3ft wide green eyed “feline” seen prowling fields and outhouses in the county is most likely a large St. Bernard dog reported missing from its home in Beragh’. The dog had strayed several days before the RUC announcement, but had only been reported as missing on January 3rd. Blather’s resident expert in canine optometry is currently enjoying his sabbatical in a Tipperary drying-out kennel, and we have no wish to disturb him, but we do wonder about green-eyed St. Bernards (and the small matter of witness testimony – they got close enough to determine eye colour, but not even a vague taxonomy?).
“As he wasn’t wearing the customary keg of brandy round his neck we can understand how there may have been mistaken identity”.
The hoors. Plans are now underway to rear St. Bernard-eating servals on Blather set-aside farmland. An application for grant aid from the European Community has been submitted.
Last week, Blather gave way to a footnote, ‘explaining’ the origin of the word *kibosh* by quoting from *Slanguage – a Dictionary of Slang and Colloquial English in Ireland*; ‘…derivative disputed but possibly from Irish *caipín báis*, cap of death, or pitch cap, as employed by British forces against 1798 insurgents; verbal usage other origin and not general Hiberno-English’. Without seeking to turn Blather into a vessel of linguistic lessons, we take the liberty of expanding and expounding on this matter.
A Bob Richardson was in touch to inform us of an article called *Putting the Kibosh On It – An unEnglish expression?*, which expands on the Hebrew explanations, and adds that Webster’s New World Dictionary ‘apparently derives it from Middle High German kiebe, meaning “carrion”‘.
Thanks to Anthony Fors of Absolute Clean for volunteering for the “hotseat,” to Ted Ives and everyone else for the great questions and conversation, and most of all to Dan Shure for putting on an awesome event.
I hope you’ll come to the next one if you’re in Massachusetts in March / April.
Any questions or thoughts on the “hotseat”? Leave a comment!

RE/COVER Green is made of high-grade ecological elastomers and 90% regenerative raw materials like castor and rapeseed oil.
With there being a growing demand of acting in an ecological and sustainable manner within the Architecture and Interior Design industries, Vorwerk Carpets has launched a new Organic Elastic Flooring named ‘RE/COVER Green’.
RE/COVER Green is made of high-grade ecological elastomers and 90% regenerative raw materials. One basic component is castor and rapeseed oil from the seeds of the tropical castor oil tree. The Organic Polyols extracted from castor and rapeseed oil replaces the PVCs which are used for conventional flooring design.
German ecological products and technologies are innovative, reliable and assume a pioneering role on an International scale. The organic flooring is extremely durable and resistant to wear and tear. This makes for an excellent choice for heavy-duty workload areas such as offices, retailing, healthcare, hotels or public-access buildings.
There are 60 unique styles and designs, providing a wide variety of ecological and unique floor options to fulfil high aesthetic standards.
Plain Hued Styles: The Plain Hued styles are Monochrome, giving a discreet sparkling effect. This is inspired by a water surface in motion and a lively appearance as it slightly reflects the surroundings.
Printed Styles: Interpretations of woods, stone and metal.
Parts: Available in three different sizes and allows various plank formats to be combined. The textures interpret materials from nature and the environment in different degrees of abstraction.
RE/COVER Green fulfils all ecological specifications and a combination of seals for quality approval.
Are American Universities are greedy?
Hi!!!!Do you think American Universities are charging more money from foreign students.
don't know. I just dropped in to tag your discussion.
You cant. Unfortunately. You cant tag them after a commen either. The only way you can tag them is when you first enter tags. You can tag others topics. You could try responding to your own topic I havn't tried it bu t mayb it will work.
Melchizedek himself overlights this R.E.T. through the I AM presence of any individual that is worked upon. The R.E.T. itself speaks for itself: the Golden Rod acts as an axis similar as that which supports the Earth, “axis” meaning holographic “rod line” about which a body rotates. The central column of any symmetrical body is the anchoring Golden Rod on the Cosmic level of that body; as the Earth is anchored by its axis, so too does an individual’s Spinal Rod align cosmically with the higher grids of light.
A rotation method is used during this process in which the higher mind of the individual is anchored into the immediate Grid in alignment with the higher chakras. All major and minor meridians will experience a greater flow of “cosmic law” enabling a higher purpose and alignment of true self to serve the personality. This is designed in preparation for the Cosmic Tree of Life R.E.T. sessions (to be revealed at a later date).
The grid of the Omniverse flows through this axiational alignment towards the session’s end, pushing one ever so gently once more to a new limit or paradigm experience in the now, creating an expanded future of the higher Heart Mind.
This is all I am prepared to say at this stage regarding this R.E.T. technique, though I will finish by adding that the Rod itself holds”Cosmic Encodings”.
The third annual UC Irvine Health Hematology Symposium will feature regional and national experts giving state-of-the-art updates on sickle cell disease, modern anticoagulants, CAR-T cell therapy and more.

I’m having a very funny time. I like going shopping.
But, I’ll go by bus, not on foot. I’ll take care of myself.
I’ll buy some clothes: A jacket, pants, a shirt, a dress, a coat; and “Dundee marmalade” for my parents. I’m going to buy a skirt for my mum and a coat for my dad.
Do you know that “Dundee marmalade” was invented in Scotland? It is made with Seville oranges. I am sending you the recipe.
P.D: I’ll go to the Loch Ness, and I’ll buy a T-shirt with a photo of Nessie, the monster of the Loch Ness.
Welcome to the 7th instalment of The Painting Solution!
With the team currently on their way to start work on a new project, it gives us the opportune time to write about the use of a cherry picker or scaffolding on site. Since the building we will be painting measures up to 13.5 metres in parts, scaffolding or the use of a cherry picker/boom is the only way to paint at that height in a safe, efficient manner. Today’s post is all about the cherry picker and it’s many uses and advantages to the painter.
One of the main problems with most forms of high access is that they only allow you to access a small area at a time. Take an extension ladder as the example – these only give you access to anything that’s within arm’s length of where you place the ladder. That means that if you’re carrying out work over a large area you will constantly have to descend and move it into a suitable position. This is a huge waste of your time. The alternative is scaffolding or a scaffold tower which can provide access to a larger area, but has the downside of requiring lengthy setup times.
