Matt Goodwin – the academic turned hard right rabble-rouser – is out stirring things up again, this time with an article in the (inevitably) Daily Telegraph claiming that “white British people will be a minority in 40 years”.

Goodwin’s Law of the “white British people” is obviously complete racist nonsense, although its broad sweep has just single-handedly upped the diversity of a Last Night at the Proms audience. And if it allows us to deport Prince Andrew…
