You’ve badly misunderstood our strategy
Almost the perfect Leave / Remain divide, cant remember the exact correlation but it’s very strong. English over British was one of the strongest predictors for a Leave votepic.twitter.com/Golr508Crf

And of course, also very closely tracks the percentage migrant background. Which also tracks age to some extent; given the different demographics of each population, which probably explains at least some of your “generational shift” effect on immigration.
-
it does not explain that much of it. You will be very disappointed when you look up beliefs about English identity in terms of ethnic/civic boundaries among the under 35s. It is why your "European" frame for attacking the Mayor of London is going to fall flat.

Numbers on that? You’ve dodged all my progress questions. I have a feeling you just think there’s a historical trend towards your ideas that happens by itself; this is false. Where is the equivalent youth movement to GI in favour of mass migration?

I am not a believer in linear progress or demography as destiny. Have argued the opposite as most people actually following identity debates/evidence seriously would know.
-
I am surprised you attribute views to people who have a prominent track record of arguing the opposite. You are going to struggle as a hipster racist thought leader if you are paddling so much in the shallow end of the identity evidence

What is causing these generational shifts then? Also; what would polled support for Communism in 1988 have looked like? Or Catholicism in 1516? Diversity / multicultural ideology is taught in schools, it was not a couple of decades ago. That’s not sustainable

I think the reasons for intergenerational failure of people holding racist views to persuade their children/grandchildren a v. interesting conundrum to unpick. There's no serious question about the shift existing. Obviously you believe you can reverse it but it looks tricky now
-
We aren’t racist, we oppose racism in fact. So you think these views are entirely learnt? Blank slate stuff? Also, how do you explain the persistence of self-segregation effects? Segregation appears to increase as the overall population gets more diverse, which seems odd
