This piece is a great example of looking at loads of data sets to see levels of correlation (or not). When I do such analysis myself I also seek (not always successfully) to be aware of and not be lead by my biases. In this case your title "is Britain balkanising?" had me worried that you could have pushed to see a pattern (whether or not it existed) to confirm this hypothesis and so, well, pander to certain balkanised electoral bases. Kudos to you for seeing that the data is unclear, so not making any simplistic conclusion, instead you presented the data and posed several questions for us all to keep in mind.
As someone having lived in Newham for over 3 decades, ive noticed the white flight. Its a shame as their continued presence would have created a better understanding between us.
Thanks for a detailed breakdown of stating the obvious. This is what happens when the country is run for an extended period of time by PPE graduates from Oxford with no clue about the real world.
Seems to have skirted around …crime .any correlation with migration influx? Foreign parent? Eg how could all those ‘heritage’ Americans have just ‘floated away’ from these beautiful walkable cities like Detroit , Baltimore and inner urban zones with classy old buildings throughout the US. They must have really wanted to work 5 jobs, and spend their lives in a car getting obese, to afford a boring , dull characterless exurb (boring = crime free). Maybe they were mad. Can anybody think of any other reasons?
Happening in the U.K. in plain view. But not visible in this academic ghost written study , the writer wouldn’t get another internship if they stated the obvious.
Not sure about all the stats, just travel across London and then from London to say, half an hour away, in Sevenoaks. You wouldn’t know that immigration was an issue. Maybe there’s no harm if we self sort among familiar faces, maybe we just have to stop seeing things in terms of a nation with a national interest and a national story.
Interesting. Living in York I can confirm we had a deluge of London folk moving in post pandemic. The school WhatsApp groups now full of ludicrously pretentious names for their offspring. Local estate agent said he couldn’t believe the number of cash buyers

Using "migration "and" migrants" acknowledges the globalist's agenda of no borders for non whites to enter white heritage countries.
Whatever degree of white flight exists it can be seen as part of the plan because they're certain to be followed by the non whites.

Ha. Seems to have further accelerated things
That’s cause of The Fake PMs silly decisions if not all he does is change his mind all the time
