People Have Finally Had Enough Of The Illegal Immigration Takeover

Matt Walsh

Southport is a seaside town in the northwest of England that looks quite a bit different than it did twenty years ago. There used to be a lot of young people living there, for one thing. And back in 2001, only around 4% of the population of Southport said they were born outside the UK. It was a pretty homogeneous place.

Twenty years later, a lot’s changed. And for the most part, it hasn’t changed for the better. As a longtime Southport politician named John Pugh put it recently: “Southport as an entity is struggling.” Southport’s now much older, mainly because young Britons no longer see much opportunity there. And they’ve been replaced, in many cases, by foreigners. One in ten residents now voluntarily report that they were born outside the UK. And many of them are bringing their religious beliefs with them, as you’d expect. Mosques — which were once found exclusively in large British cities like London and Birmingham — began popping up in Southport, as the UK added more than a million Muslims to its population in under a decade.
