It is true that a bishop in the Church of England made this speech and
it was headlined in a right-wing conservative paper that blames all
problems on immigrants, Muslims, homosexuals, drugs, etc.

But bishops in the CofE mostly talk nonsense anyway.
He was mainly having a moan about the loss of influence of the CofE in the UK.
Fewer people go to church than ever before (and they are mostly old
folk) and still fewer care about CofE pronouncements.

There are many so-called 'no-go' areas in the UK. Even the police
don't go into some of the deprived housing estates. (Except to clear
up the mess after another murder. The daily violence and crime in
there goes on unchecked).

There has indeed been a lot of immigration into the UK, and instead of
becoming the 'multi-cultural' Britain beloved by the politicians,
people tend to group together in their own communities. There are
Irish areas, Australian areas, Polish areas, Chinese areas, Indian
areas, etc.  Just as there are rich areas and poor areas.

The problem isn't immigration so much as the tremendous drop in the
birth rate of the original population. This is a problem faced by all
European countries, and others, such as Japan.

Children in the UK today are overwhelmingly of foreign extraction. But
somebody has to do the work and pay the pensions of the dying-out
original UK residents.
