I don't know how anybody will react to this, but I do know that burying heads in the sand never did anybody's eyesight any good.
I can't say I've checked out all the figures because I have not - they are complex, life is too short, and Nick is probably as competent as the next man to do the sums.
I am pretty confident that he ends up in the right ball-park, and that has drastic implications for our future in the UK and Europe as a whole. The "left" has been rubbing our noses in "diversity" for so long that our future will look very different from our past, but how we create that future will still be up to us, the population, to sort out, and overall we will still be humans, with the common needs of humanity, and capable of cooperation in order to meet those needs.
But first we must understand the problem.
After that we can decide how to address it. And Nick is likely correct that reversing to a previous "normal" will not be feasible in terms of either population or religion or ethnic mix, but in terms of neighbourliness, tolerance, and cooperation, that's a different matter ...
