A far-right nationalist group who firmly believe that 'native British people' will become a minority by the year 2066 appear to be linked to a banner which was flown over the Etihad Stadium this weekend.
Football fans were left in 'disgust' after spotting the sign which read "British to be minority by 2066" during Manchester City's Premier League clash against Liverpool at the east Manchester football ground on Sunday.
Residents have also told The Manchester Evening News that in the North West leaflets had been posted through their letter boxes this weekend titled "White's to be a minority by the year 2066 or sooner" - a similar message to that on the banner. One woman, whose is pregnant with a mixed-race baby said the flyer had left her and her partner feeling 'upset' and 'disgusted.'

Some activists who support the group also appear to have retweeted a video of the banner.
The group's projection appears to have come from comments made by
