The Great Replacement: Theory or Reality?

In light of the almost universal criticism that Manchester United owner Jim Ratcliffe received for suggesting that Britain is being colonised, this month we're going to examine the evidence for and against Jim Ratcliffe's statement. We'll explore The Great Replacement Theory which may (or may not) have influenced his comments. And we'll also compare the differing positions on mass immigration/mass deportations adopted by Nigel Farage's Reform party and Rupert Lowe's Restore Britain.

Is the great replacement happening in the real world or is it as Wikipedia claims "a debunked white nationalist, far-right conspiracy theory coined by French author Renaud Camus."

A quick online search reveals many strident claims that those who believe the great replacement is real are hateful, racist, white supremacists.

However, it is undoubtedly the case that net immigration into the UK has risen exponentially in recent years. Is this a sinister top-down plan, or is it just an organic shift in migration patterns due to people in the undeveloped world being better informed about their options?

Did the "Boris Wave" of net 1.5 million immigrants in just two years (2022-3) give credence to the theory?

Do we need immigrants to solve our birth-rate crisis or will mass immigration lead to the dilution of, or even the end, of our culture?

This is potentially quite a dark topic, but we’re a friendly, welcoming bunch, and all good faith opinions are welcomed and respected. Grab a drink at the bar and come upstairs for some lively, open and honest chat. Many folks even choose to stay well past 4pm to continue the discussion!
