Some 3.7million Londoners classified themselves as white British in 2011 – down from 4.3million in 2001 – despite the city’s population increasing by nearly one million over the decade to 8.2million.
White Britons now make up 45 per cent of the population, compared with 58 per cent in 2001.
London’s population has been boosted by immigrants. Three million foreign-born people now live in the capital.

The following is a real video clip from Quebec, not a comedy segment from The Onion. More here.
Thankfully, the backlash through social media, appears to have sufficiently embarrassed the Clouseau-like clods enough to back down for now.
Let’s hope that Alberta & Saskatchewan’s hard working citizens are content to see how their taxes are being spent. 🙁

Germany’s plan to transform its energy system to one reliant on renewable power as it phases out nuclear energy could cost up to €1 trillion, German energy and environment minister Peter Altmaier has publicly admitted. Feed-in tariffs supporting renewable energy could account for over two-thirds of the cost.

The Sound Of Settled Science
Don’t look now, but maybe a scientific consensus exists concerning global warming after all. Only 36 percent of geoscientists and engineers believe that humans are creating a global warming crisis, according to a survey reported in the peer-reviewed Organization Studies. By contrast, a strong majority of the 1,077 respondents believe that nature is the primary cause of recent global warming and/or that future global warming will not be a very serious problem.
Why Is There Always A Big Screen TV?
In December 2005, the chief and council of Chemawawin First Nation had drained almost all of the $400,000 Chemawawin Resource Trust Fund to support representatives on the Cedar Lake Resource Management Board, Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) prairie director Colin Craig revealed Wednesday.
Band members sent a letter to Craig last month to inform him of the situation.
“Manitoba Hydro was very clear in the trust fund agreement — the trustees were forbidden from spending the $400,000 initial capital investment,” Craig wrote in a blog post addressed to Manitoba Hydro CEO Scott Thomson.
“The band was only to use interest from the fund.”

The Sound Of Settled Science
Dr. Roger Pielke Jr.,Professor of Environmental Studies at the University of Colorado;
Five days ago I critiqued a shoddy paper by Brysse et al. 2013 which appeared in the journal Global Environmental Change. Today I received notice from the editor-in chief and executive editor that I have been asked to “step down from the journal.” They say that it is to “give other scientists the chance to gain experience of editorial duties.”
Over the past 20 years I have served on the editorial boards of about a dozen or so academic journals. I have rolled off some when my term was up, and continued for many years with others. I have never received a mid-term request to step down from any journal. My 6 years with the GEC editorial board is not long in academia, and certainly much shorter than many other serving members.
Are my critique and the request to step down related? I can’t say. It is interesting timing to be sure.
Is That A Monument In Your Pocket?
Another good reason for women to arm themselves;
A tiny Vancouver park is at the centre of a monument war, pitting backers of a proposed monument to Irish Canadians against activists who feel its dominant “phallic” nature would violate the integrity of an existing Montreal Massacre memorial. […]
“Placing the [Ireland Canada Monument] design 80 feet from the women’s monument, which has vulva shapes engraved in the top of each of the 14 sarcophagi forms, is inappropriate and will be seen to be a violation by supporters,” wrote Chris McDowell, an activist and second-generation Irish Canadian who led a seven-year campaign to build the Marker of Change.
So you don’t end up as a “vulva shape” in a Vancouver park.
Free Saskatoon!
The Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission will investigate a complaint against the City of Saskatoon and a city councillor.
Saskatoon resident Ashu Solo launched the complaint last year over a prayer offered by Coun. Randy Donauer during a volunteer appreciation banquet held in April 2012.
At the time, Solo said he was “extremely offended by the inclusion of a Christian prayer, which makes non-Christians feel like second-class citizens.”
In a letter, the commission says they have determined there is sufficient evidence to suggest the code may have been violated.
Last December, Solo lodged a complaint with the city over “Merry Christmas” greetings that appeared on the message board of city buses.
When the nannystate monsters turn on the governing class, nothing but good can come of it.
