BBC studiously avoiding reporting top name for boys
Discussion

If you said 20-30 years ago that the top boys name would be Mohammed or how ever you want to spell it. You would have been laughed at and called a racist tinfoil hat idiot. Just as if you said White's in London would be a minority by 2015.
But they have been proven right. And the same or similar people today are predicting and warning if things don't change or even worryingly that's its now to late to change. Things are going to get worse and much worse.
And what do the people who time and time again get it wrong do? They do the exactly the same things and call them racist and stupid.
The white Anglo Saxon Christian culture is now doomed in this country. Replaced by God knows what but its almost certain to lead to secular wars and massive social problems. But that could just be me with my tinfoil hat.

I'm surprised that no-one appears to have noticed that there were only two - possibly less - children blessed with the name "Nigel" in 2016 - even "Elvis" was more popular.
Given Farage's intense popularity with a small - but discernable - percentage of the population, this is at first perplexing.....and the conclusion must be that the percentage of the population concerned must either be well beyond child-bearing age, or committed and diligent onanists. Possibly both.
Well, as I said to my daughter the other day "Brexit: it's going to be like the fifties, except no Elvis".Given Farage's intense popularity with a small - but discernable - percentage of the population, this is at first perplexing.....and the conclusion must be that the percentage of the population concerned must either be well beyond child-bearing age, or committed and diligent onanists.

That's not so much a tinfoil hat as a tinfoil big top circus tent. I wonder why I am not surprised that someone with such tinfoil loon views does not know how to use an apostrophe.

"White' s a minority"? Yes, there is only one White's - still as ever chock full of Etonians mooning out of the bay window onto St James's, but it's still a good place to get a Bullshot before luncheon.

When I was a kid, my local butcher was a Mr White. He definitely was in a minority - there was only one of him."White' s a minority"?

The local Barnsbury butcher was called Mr Wood, but when he retired his shop was taken over by hipsters and they have turned it into a pop up party planner and cocktail organiser shebang. Hipsters! Hipsters I tell you! They are the real threat to our ancient and idle way of living.

The whyohwhyohwhyers won't be persuaded by this, but for anyone who has an open or semi open mind, see -

We are not being swamped by Muslims, or indeed by any other "foreigners". Note also that once people from the developing world settle in developed countries, after a generation or so they start having small families.
Take my lot - poor Irish migrants (Ireland was in the Third World until after it joined the EU) . My parents (born in the 1930s) each came from families of fourteen children. Their generation had two to five children per family (One exception - my oldest aunt did not migrate to the UK. She had fourteen children - seven died in infancy in what was then still a poor and backwards country) . My generation (born in the 60s and 70s) have one to three children per family, and so on. This pattern is replicated amongst everyone I know whose family originates from the Asian sub continent.

(2) Being a history junkie, I recognise that the past was in most ways always more rubbish than the present. The strange urge that many here have to take the UK back into the past does not strike me as a sensible urge.
I just missed the 50s, but am reliably informed that they mostly sucked.
