'It's concerning': Douglas Murray on the decline of white Britons as parts of country become 'unrecognisable'

Speaking to GB News, Murray discussed the "political cowardice" that has allowed these shifts to happen unchecked.

He said multiculturalism is fraying social cohesion and undermining Western liberal values, demanding a "national reckoning" before it's too late.

In conversation with Steven Edginton, he asked Murray: "What's your perspective on that 2050 moment? That Britain's ethnic demographics would be minority white British by 2050?"

Murray responded: "I think a lot of people in the UK are rightly concerned about that. Of course they're right to be concerned about it, because even if there were no negatives that came from it, I've always said that immigration brings some positives and some negatives.

"You've got to work out where the positives start to run down and where the negatives start to become overwhelming."

Murray explained that even if there were "no positives or negatives to be drawn from it", Britons can still acknowledge the "significant population change" happening in their nation.

Murray told GB News: "Even if there were no positive, negative things to work out, at least people ought to be able to acknowledge that there has been that that constitutes in the course of under a century, one of the most significant population changes, I think, in history, really.

"And if for instance, Pakistan had moved in a century from minority white to majority white, I think that Pakistanis and others would be alarmed by that, or at least would notice it."

He stated: "And they might even ask, why has that happened and why does it need to happen?"

Highlighting a major concern of the British authorities, Murray claimed that both the Government and Britons are "unable to speak up for themselves" when it comes to immigration.

Murray explained: "We British seem to be uniquely unwilling or unable to speak up for ourselves, defend ourselves, argue for our culture, and much more.

"And so I don't think any of that is inevitable. One of the interesting things about demographic change is that there are both parts of it where it's one of the best predictors.

"And on the other hand is, also at the same time, not absolutely inevitable. If a British government of any stripe decided that, for instance, the British public had had enough demographic change, then they could change that."
