Net immigration to UK increases

Net migration to the UK rose in the year to March 2010 because fewer British people left the country, according to the latest estimates.

The figures indicate 215,000 more people came to live in the UK than moved to another country.

The Office for National Statistics figures come days after the government outlined its plans to cap immigration.

Ministers want to reduce net migration to "tens of thousands" a year by 2015.

The plan currently involves cutting the number of visas available to skilled workers from outside Europe - although ministerial advisers say the target cannot be met by just targeting workers.

Britain is dead. Long live her memory.

....educated whites = leaving

....uneducated browns = arriving

It is not the UK any more. It is the U A K....I guess we can all figure out what that stands for.

All the educated white Brits seem to be coming to Canada these days. I live in a traditionally English/Scottish area of Toronto. Growing up here, you couldn’t walk five minutes without hearing an English accent, even moreso these days.

Well...no...that's not what the statistics are showing.

Net migration is up, not because immigration has increased, but because emigration has decreased

Probably because people can no longer afford to move :)

These days? Newsflash! “Scots and Brits” have been coming here for so long they are actually acknowledged historically as the primary colonizers of North America and the founders of both the US and Canadian nations. Guess what else? You were born into an anti-catholic city that is one of the few places that have an orange parade. It was also primarily settled by British loyalists from south of 49 and later Americans during the great land grant times during the 19th century.

I would guess fewer people left Britain because the socialists were driven out of power.
