TENS of thousands of white families are pouring out of UK cities as immigrants move in, a controversial new report claims.
The exodus is creating an increasingly divided society, says the study for independent think-tank Migrationwatch UK.
It found that 600,000 more people left London for the regions between 1993-2002 than arrived in the capital from elsewhere in Britain.
Those moving out were believed to be mainly white. In the same decade, the number of immigrants arriving in London went up by 726,000.
Migrationwatch said there were similar changes in Manchester and Birmingham. Chairman Sir Andrew Green said: “The development of increasingly ‘parallel societies’ in some of our major cities is extremely undesirable.
“Government immigration policy is exacerbating this trend.”
The report follows a study for the Greater London Authority last year which showed the proportion of whites in London fell by almost eight per cent in the 1990s.
Migrationwatch claimed the biggest population movement was from high ethnic minority areas to largely white communities.
But Keith Best — head of the Immigration Advisory Service — said: “They are making dangerous assumptions.”
*raises eyebrow*
Well given that the 2001 census showed that 8% of London's population is muslim I can only assume that you spent your entire stay eating curry on Brick Lane.
I quit the city, but it had nothing to do with immigrants - London is just so utterly, maddeningly expensive. Plus it is decaying, thanks to its ridiculous left wing mayor.

London property prices are ridiculous and drive people out.
Oh really. You need to come down town more often. There are hundreds of so called homeless whites down here and near the ferry terminal. I have been commuting from Bremerton to Seattle for 12 years. I ain't blind.
