White and ethnic minority communities are becoming increasingly separated by growing levels of population movement and immigration, a report says today.
More white families are moving from London to the regions while many immigrants arrive in the capital from overseas, the think-tank Migrationwatch says.
The change in 10 years has been "extraordinarily rapid'', with 606,000 more people moving out of London than arrived from elsewhere in the country. In the same period, a net 726,000 immigrants arrived in the capital.
Other regions, notably the South West, South East and East Midlands are having to expand rapidly to deal with the white outflow from London, putting strain on their housing, transport, education and health systems.
Of the migration from London, almost 300,000 people moved to the South West between 1993 and 2003 and 181,000 went to the east of England.
Migrationwatch says the changes, even for a city as diverse and as vibrant as London, are "unprecedented''.
It says: "Migration within the UK is mainly from areas of high ethnic minority population to those with predominantly white populations.
"The effect is a rapid increase in the ethnic minority composition of some boroughs, resulting from an outflow of the white population and an inflow of African and Asian international migrants.

Interesting that they identified the people fleeing as 'whites' rather than 'native born', which would be the logical choice of terms. And who says the anti-immigration movement isn't based on race?
Slip, Patel, care to comment on your fellow Briton's views on immigration?
At least that's what the MSM always says when a Black is elected in The South.
He said that instead of referring to "On Her Majesty's Service" it now stands for "Only Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs."
Thank you very much for giving me the platform. I'm not sure which fellow Brit you mean, so I'll deal with both.
If we're talking about quidnunc, we can deal with it fairly quickly, The poor chap has a terrible chip on his shoulder about my country. Every day he posts more and more excitable emails, slamming the nation of my birth and metaphorically urinating on my flag. I can only wonder how a British poster would be treated were they to do the same to the US.
If we're talking about 1066AD, he makes some very good points about Enoch Powell, a fine politician who was treated shabbily by the establishment. If you go back and read the speech now, it's difficult to argue with much of what he says. He wasn't a racist, he was saying that the British people would respond badly to bulk immigration, especially if the new families were just lumped into poor areas. He was predicting, quite astutely, conflict, but he wasn't actually blaming the immigrants for it. Merely the circumstances.
You're kidding me N, when I walk past the welfare office here in Brighton, I've never once seen an Asian there -- not once
That's okay...their children will rapidly become Americans, hang out at the mall, learn the slang, and the 'tude. If they don't go back to England, they will be changed by their children.
Read a few of quid's works, quite acerbic, isn't he. Don't agree with him too much, but then, whenever one of you posters from Blighty get all flighty and snooty, it does get one's heckles up you know. Perhaps he had a few Anglo-Israelites get to him.
I think it's a national characteristic of ours to get snooty! Our bad, as you chaps might put it.
What you have to remember is that we wouldn't sit here and chat away with Americans if we didn't actually like them. We just don't like having our country rubbed in the dirt by a few ill-informed posters.
lol
welcome to the real world ya'll.
In my best cockney accent:
"There goes the bloomin' neighborhood!"
Makes me glad I had the chance to visit London in the early 90's when it was still charming.
"Slip, Patel, care to comment on your fellow Briton's views on immigration?"
I am thinking we should send them all back.
Bloody immigrants are being coming over here taking all dole money from hard working shopkeepers.
I am paying too much tax as it is already being.
Yes, be sending them all back.
Exceping my brother Ravi, and Ranjeep my cousin.
My friend Jamal, he can stay also.
All other are being sent back!
I am hearing same is happen in USA
In USA they will all be Mexican in 20 years time I am thinking.
Very understandable. It seems to happen on every thread regardless of topic. There are always a few of the same faces who pop up again and again who spew the same bile over and over. Isn't there an old saying about people talking alot while saying nothing?
At any rate, I love our international FReepers. I really, really hope to visit London some day. It's not exactly my husbands dream vacation, but I just remind him that the beer is stronger and there are pubs everywhere and that pacifies him. :-)

So now you know how it feels, eh mate?
I know from experience that any American participating on any British forum — liveral or conservative — sooner or later gets a liberal ration of trash talk about our president, our country, our culture and pretrtyt much all things American in general.
I for one am tired of it and I's going to start shoveling one of the bullshit I've taken from n Brits back in your direction.
So my advice to you is quit your whinging and get used to it.
Asians also Include PAKIS -- they're Muslimes
I've always found it much easier to type when I'm not rancidly drunk. Perhaps you should try that?
I am being called paki by kids coming in my shop.
I am telling them,
"I am not paki, I am Indie, Mr Hussain in the Halal butcher next door, he is Paki, but I am not Paki, I am Indie. please do not be calling me Paki"
But they are still calling me Paki.
