those things are British values
the government will be entirely second or third genration immigrant reflecting the elctorate
​
which is exactly what I mean
It won't be Britain after the British have been bred out
things we take for granted and look like they will always be here will have gone in my gandchildren's time

national identity is a reality, tribal belonging is a human need even on a national level
cultural differences defined by nationhood over centuries is what makes the world more enriched and increases that sense of pride and belonging
when a nation dies everything people have built on for centuries goes with it

this is true but doesn't take into account the cultural shift in which many more young people don't want children than previous generations
It's not the automatic expectation for couples it once was

Indigenous British are also a declining demographic with a massive majority of births in the UK now being from mothers who are from another country
Makes me sad as a Brit that my grandchildren will most likely be a minority
also as the title says it won't be Britain without the British so which country/culture will they be living in?
