London, not the UK. White British plus white Irish make up 82% of the population of the UK. It is slightly complicated because the Irish are a native population in Northern Ireland and and immigrant one in Great Britain and there were slightly different ethnicity options in the census in Scotland to in England etc.

Even if it was the case, which by merely impression of being there for few days recently, but even if it was, are the folks he referring slaughtering white people? attacking them? Curbing their right for their beliefs? Taking all the jobs deeming a class, race or group segregated? I don't think so. If anything, i don't think "native Brits" as he called, not wanting to do any of the low-end jobs. I get why people are…

> I get why people are frustrated, but it feels like anger's just being used for political gains. There is no easy answers to the current economic problems.

I have a more cynical cynical variation on that take. its being used to distract attention from the need for real economic (or any other) change. Politicians want business as usual (i.e. the Blair/Cameron "centrist" consensus).

I do not think the EU is relevant to this. They have the same problems.

We all have been tricked to be sick of "social justice" as it has been purposefully exploited to exhaustion until no one cares any more. This is the same method and rhetoric applied through history. No one measures how far megariches are getting from common folks and just point the guns where they can see because they are led through mediatic misformation campaigns. It does not need to be a convoluted plan, but it is…

It's great we have smart people like you capable of seeing the invisible.

So, what exactly is wrong with UK having only 1/3 native brits? I’m Asian, I don’t get why the West is so concerned. If half of my country are expats immigrating, hell yeah. I don’t see the problem as long as everyone is contributing for the overall community and welfare of the country.

>>1/3 native Natives have rights to their homeland.

Do they? More than the property rights of British Londoners to have sold their part of their homeland to someone with enough money? Even foreigners?

We're talking about a small part of the country that's disproportionately expensive that has tried to attract those with money and the side effect of this is natives have chosen to sell up. There might be too much immigration, there might be too much external competition driving house prices up, but I think it's weird to talk about native rights. None of us is truly native here.

I find insane that somebody did deep research on another person at this level,even if the information is public. He is making software available for free. Feel FREE not to use it.

Software ecosystems create communities and give developers a voice.

It's okay to care about the health of the community. To worry about the voices promoted.

I agree up to a point, I find nauseating the idea that somebody digged so deep into a person where the most likely explanation is that the goal is to generate outrage with every of their statement (doesn't matter what's the reason). Even social media websites realized that's the way to get traction.

Now if the problem shows up during a professional interaction in work on open source software, causing damage to somebody, I see the point in raising complaints, but that would be a very explicit problem. And even in that case, just fork Rails, they did that with Elm because of poor management, they didn't ask to remove the author of Elm from Elm, they just forked.

> but even if it was, are the folks he referring slaughtering white people I don’t want to sound like Elon musk (he’s corrupt like the rest), but white people aren’t really reproducing at a rate to keep them going. There’s other ways for a race to die out. You think a majority asian Britain is going to be favorable to whites? > i don't think "native Brits" as he called, not wanting to do any of the low-end jobs. Beca…

> You think a majority asian Britain is going to be favorable to whites Yes it will be. Most British Asians are culturally British and become more so with each generation. Secondly, there are multiple different Asian cultures in the UK, so the most substantial common ground different groups of Asians have is our Britishness. The dominant culture is very much British because each minority culture is individually small…

There aren’t even very many asians in London and the UK so it’s a confusing premise from the outset...
