Britain's high migration rate, where 74% of jobs created since 2008 went to non-natives, demonstrates a broken pact with the electorate.
This situation fuels resentment as citizens feel their government prioritizes newcomers over their own well-being.

The strange death of Europe

Douglas Murray

In 'The Strange Death of Europe,' Douglas Murray argues that European civilization is under threat due to two primary factors: the mass migration of new peoples into Europe and the continent's low birth rates, combined with a loss of faith in its beliefs, traditions, and legitimacy. Murray contends that Europe's exhaustion from its historical burdens, its post-Christian and post-modern identity crisis, and its inability to defend its values are leading to a cultural and demographic transformation that may result in the end of Europe as it has historically existed. The book is characterized by its polarizing reception, with some praising its insightful reporting and others criticizing its perceived xenophobic and paranoid tone[1][3][5].
