Why does it 'look like we'll have it here in the next 50 years' ?
The op is alluding to the facts that the UK birth rate is highest it has been for decades, and most of these births are to immigrant/muslim families....fifty years from now....you do the maths.....majority/minority....
Fertility of UK born and non-UK born women in England and Wales
Most of the increase in overall fertility in England and Wales can be attributed to rising fertility among UK born women, who make up the majority of the female population of childbearing age (85 per cent in 2007). According to new estimates, the TFR for women born in the UK has risen substantially, from 1.68 in 2004 to 1.79 in 2007.
In contrast, there has been little change over the past three years in the estimated TFR for women born outside the UK. But foreign-born women living in England and Wales continue to have higher fertility than UK born women in all age groups. In 2007, the estimated TFR for non-UK born women was 2.54 compared with an estimated 1.79 children for women born in the UK.
Foreign-born women are making up an increasing share of the childbearing population in England and Wales. Between 2004 and 2007, the proportion of women of childbearing age who were born outside the UK grew from 13 per cent to 15 per cent. Because this group has higher fertility on average than those born in the UK, their increasing population share is helping to push the overall TFR upwards, even though their fertility is fairly stable.
Both UK born and non-UK born women are therefore contributing to the increase in overall fertility in England and Wales, but in different ways.
Well the op is talking bollox again
