According to the Huffington Post Javid delivered a 'perfect two-word put-down' to Nigel Farage's 'rant' about demographic change in Britain.
In a video posted on Twitter Nige claimed that the new 2021 census data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed “London, Manchester and Birmingham are all minority white cities” now.
The controversial politician summarised there was a “massive change taking place in this country through immigration”.
To which Sajid Javid responded 'So what?' [Huff Post's perfect two-word put-down]
So how would you have responded if you were Nige?
Hint: check out some of the replies on Twitter. This was one of them:

As Javid is being nakedly honest, it's hard to come up with a reply that doesn't look soppy. Appealing to someone who 'Conan style' wants to drive his enemies (ie you) from the lands and enjoy the lamentations of your women-folk, is rather undignified. Being confrontational is also pointless. He has made it clear your concerns and interests are not his.

If you told me your family had been driven from sections of your home and I replied 'so what?', isn't my stance reasonably clear re your family and your supposed home? |

Not at all. My own response to farage would be much the same.

Nige doesn't mention this, but it might a good instance of the 'massive changes' h believes have been wrought by immigration:
The Oath sworn to be sworn by the King on Saturday:
“…I Charles do solemnly and sincerely in the presence of God profess, testify, and declare that I am a faithful Protestant, and that I will, according to the true intent of the enactments which secure the Protestant succession to the Throne, uphold and maintain the said enactments to the best of my powers according to law.”
To be followed in short order by The Epistle, read by the Prime Minister. He is invited to read, as has become modern custom seen at other State Ceremonies, by virtue of his public office, being the Prime Minister of the nation in which the Coronation takes place.

It's fairly obvious what he doesn't want: a return to a time when our major cities are populated by the descendants of the peoples who have lived there for many centuries. |

No I just figure that they're all people, and people should get to live where they choose.

My own view is that the national inability or disinclination to offer a coherent response to Sajid Javid (and Wally) is exactly the reason why the phenomenon Nige laments will continue until the bitter end.
Incidentally did anyone else catch the news soundbite that Indians are now the second largest nationality among small boat arrivals? All aspiring prime ministers perhaps.

"According to the 2021 Census, London was the most ethnically diverse region in England and Wales, but it still recorded a total of 53.8% White..."
That's true, and Farage should have said White British not White. The WB population of London per the 2021 Census was 3.2 million or 36.2%, down from 3.7 million (45%) in 2011. 37% of the population of London were born outside the UK. |

White skin has never been a requirement for British citizenship.
A British citizen can choose to live wherever they want.
