One could always adopt the political school of thought used by a small minority of lower socio-economic Anglo-Saxon Australians: "Fuck Off, We're Full".

Robert Winder is very welcome to contact me to find out what exactly is British ... and what isnt.

"Change in the British native population, its very hard to ringfence exactly what is British and what isnt, and em try and defend it, i'm not sure it is even wise to do so, its rather canuteish. what we ideally would like to happen. do we want dominance in this country? niche audiences. live in a world where you dont meet anyone. easier for people not to join in for language."

Sums up UK sentiment rather well. Good leaders take followers with them, bad leaders surprise/shock with change.
