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.
visited Detroit lately?
Growing up in the New York area, I know the type well. They love to talk about how much they love "African Americans," yet lock the door and drive fast through the "dark side of town."
It is not Xenophobia that forces this migration. And it's not the remnants of slavery either since it is now occurring in Britain. It is the total failure of the immigrants to conform to the distinct culture of their new country. What was once a "melting pot" in America has become a "gorgeous mosaic" in the words of David Dinkins. The immigrants show no desire to embrace the ideas or identities of the Founding Fathers. Their culture from the country from which they fled is superior. Indeed, Western Culture is becoming an epithet. Jurisprudence is rejected and crime flourishes.
I was in Londonistan 10 years ago. It was awful. It is truly a Middle Eastern city....
Multiculturalism!!!
Seemed to me the only people who could live in London were rich people, or at least where I was hanging out. It does look very middle eastern.
No sir and have no desire too.
Other than the author's claims, is there any proof that this is true?
London's always been a cosmopolitan city, anyway.
Yes. But, Seattle has become little Somalia, Afghanistan, Uganda, India, Libya, Kenya, Iran, Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Cuba, Mexico, Columbia, Argentina, Chile, Panama, you name it. They are here and 99% of them are illegal. Back on 9-1-1, the Somalian groups were dancing in the streets of their "taken-over neighborhoods" and several Somalian leaders were trying to get them to quieten it down for fear they might get attacked by "caring Americans." They just did not realize they were in communist Seattle and 98% of Ukraine County probably supported the attacks. No, Seattle has been taken over by thousands of people who refuse or cannot speak English. You walk down the street and you'd think you were at the UN or something. Go in small stores and shops and 95% of them cannot speak English, much less American style English, even pig-Latin English either. It becomes hand and arm signals time just to buy something.
Seattle is many things, but Los Angeles it aint.
Humans are tribal. Nuff said.
The "white flight" out of New York from the 1950s-1970s was of lower middle and middle class folk (think Archie Bunker and Ralph Kramden), not of the rich. Its the same thing in London.
I was there today. I loved it!
Are you a golliwog?
no I'm a teddy bear
Hmmmm.... Not many places left in London for you. Maybe if you were a teddycamel or buddyox or somefing.
