A breakdown of the ethnic minorities of large cities and northern towns is also interesting.
For instance the Muslim Council of Great Britain puts the
Muslim populations of these local authorities at:
Tower Hamlets - 71,000 (36% of population))
Newham - 59,000 (24%)
Blackburn - 27,000 (19%)
Bradford - 75,000 (16%)
Waltham Forest - 33,000 (15%)
Luton - 27,000 (15%)
Birmingham - 140,000 (14%)
Hackney - 28,000 (14%)
Pendle - 12,000 (13%)
Slough - 16,000 (13%)
Brent - 32,000 (12%)
Redbridge - 29,000 (12%)
Westminster - 21,000 (12%)
Camden - 23,000 (12%)
Haringey - 24,000 (11%)
Some of these Muslims are no doubt white and British.
Information available from local authorities shows a much heavier concentration of ethnic minorities in some areas. One of the broadsheets, t
he Independent I think, produced an ethnic map of Britain which illustrated where these concentrations were, but sadly it no longer seems to be available on their website.
But information is available about ethnic make up in individual areas (based on self-declared information in the 2001 Census) is available from the
CRE.
I think the country is fracturing along racial/cultural lines, and it's worrying. I have relations who live in some of those Northern towns and resentment is building on all sides.
