For repatriation, you need two ends. One country that wants to deport them, and another country that wants to admit them as nationals.

This is true. In the case of the Asians though many of them still have property and/or relatives back in India. The real problem will be what to do with the blacks. Also remember Idi Armin?

Now, for England this poses the problem that most of the immigrants are not a new phenomenon. Most have been there for a couple of generations. No other country is going to admit them as nationals. Further, the levels of mixing between natives and immigrants is not low, and neither is their spring.

Some immigrants are 3rd generation. But as the Duke of Wellington famously said, not everything born in a stable is a horse.

The mixed-race percentage is about 2.5%. I think race mixing has been over exaggerated, largely by the marxist-multi culti media.

With such high rates of half-castes who have no other citizenship but the British, repatriation in international legal terms is not a choice.

Well that would depend on the strength of the nationalist government in power. As I said above remembet Idi Armin?

Isn't that the result of "Britishism"? I observed that most immigrants from former British colonies never refered themselves as "English", but they did call themselves "British". That seemed to be widely accepted.

Not as many refer to themselves as British as you might imagine. Many are British-Asian/Muslim/black etc. The majority though still refer to themselves as Sikh, Indian etc. Remember the picture that media land paints, and the real word are often very different.

That, I believe, it is the result of clinging to ideas of imperialism which block the development of a proper nationalist idea. Under Britishism (imperialism), there is room for the acceptance of peoples who have English as their language and culture.

This is very true. Post-imperialism is something that is affecting the English more than most. The Welsh, Scots and indeed Irish elites were as much benefiters from the empire as the English elite. The difference was that these countries retained their identity in opposition to the London government, especially Ireland. The English managed to submerge themselves into "Britishness" in a way that the other island nations did not. The end of empire and the slow dissolution of the UK is leaving many English at a loss to who they are.
