However, the demographics of Britain only really began to shift after the second world war, when the British government encouraged immigration from commonwealth countries to help resuscitate a war-devastated Britain.
In 1951, the population in Britain of African, Afro-Caribbean and Asian descent was estimated to be 74,500, by 1962 it was 500,000.
This rapid rise in immigration created a climate of anxiety, and what came to be perceived in Britain as a ‘social problem.’ In 1958, the first “race riots” in Britain occurred in West London and Nottingham as white reaction to immigration began to escalate.

 Tate | FAQs: Research
Tate is a family of four galleries (Tate Britain and Tate Modern in London; Tate Liverpool, and Tate St Ives) presenting changing displays of the Tate Collection as well as a number of major special exhibitions.
For example the Turner Prize at Tate Britain regularly attracts relatively young audiences; in 2002 only a third of Turner Prize visitors were over forty- five years old in comparison to the Victorian Nude show where two thirds of visitors were over forty-five.
This variation in demographics according to the exhibition is also applicable to the class and ethnic make up of Tate visitors although generally Tate Britain attracts a high social class profile - despite a stringent social inclusion policy.

Thus you have large swathes of Indian and Pakistani born Muslims relocating to Britain.
The fact of the matter is that the demographics of Britain will slowly change if that rate of immigration continues.
With the decline in that population relative to Muslims, naturally there is going to be tensions because the established concepts will have to be amended or done away with to suit the prevailing demographics of the day.

 Internet
One hundred years ago in Britain, urban workers lived together, worked together, went to school, got drunk, went on holiday or strike together, and were buried together.
As production becomes computerised and the Internet pervades the workplace, more and more people are going to find it feasible to work from home, or from "hot-desks", or from their portable "teledesk".
In Britain there are about 1 million home or teleworkers, and an estimated “52 percent of the working population will be homeworking by the year 2010” (Teleworking Survey: http://www.si-cbx.com/teleworking/twbody.html).

 Hey, don't call me an Asian!- The Times of India   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The ironic result, points out Manzoor, is that just as it has become increasingly cool to be British Asian with all the hip, world-beating music, food, fashion, films and television sitcoms, Asians themselves have moved away from racial to religious affiliation.
Manzoor said his conversations with women activists of Britain's largest Hindu youth group and parallel chats with young Pakistani Muslim men underlined the extent of the divide.
Till the UK's 2001 census, the demographics of Brown Britain were officially labelled 'Asian', with the add-on explanation that it was a reference to "the most widely accepted current use of the

And keep in mind that this is Britain, which is generally thought to have one of the worst national healthcare systems in Europe.
My only non-emergency experience with the health care system involved a limited choice of primary care physicians (who turned out to be perfectly good), long wait periods to see a specialist and other bugaboos we are normally told to worry about when it comes to foreign health care systems.
Again, what's the difference between paying in Britain and paying in America?  (to be honest, I smell a made-up story here; I haven't much confidence that "Lived in the UK" really did live in the UK.

 Punch and The Wipers Times
Despite the changing demographics of Britain during the war, patriarchal values still dominated the modes of cultural production.
The return of women to the home after the war ended demonstrates how insecure their position was - the front line soldiers were encouraged to regard Britain as a rural idyll, an image which they did not want to be ruined by the new and culturally disturbing roles of a female workforce.
In the articles this tended to be characterised by effeminacy and having a stutter, and in the cartoons by a weak frame and a long chin with big ears.

The intensely repressive nature of Home Secretary Michael Howard, the bullish Michael Portillo and the growing stories of Conservative corruption added to the grim realities of Britain in the wake of the longest recession in living memory.

Instead, new methods were needed to attract settlers and clear the land, so that property in the trackless wilderness would become useable, and as a result, valuable.
Bailyn argues that, unlike tenancy norms in Britain or Ireland, speculators had to let the land out at very low rates (or none at all) in an attempt to attract settlers who would in turn make improvements on the property themselves, with their own labor.
Bailyn structures his magisterial two-volume study (to which this book is the introduction) around four "propositions" about socio-demographics in Britain's North American colonies.
