Almost 2 million more foreign citizens living in UK than 10 years ago
More than 4 million people – representing one in 15 UK residents - have travelled to Britain from their own countries to live, analysis from the Office for National Statistics found.
This latest figure, for 2008, was a sharp rise from 10 years previously, when 2.2 million foreign citizens were living in the UK, representing one in every 26 residents.
The population figures also showed that net migration had a greater impact on increasing Britain’s population than the number of babies born to those already living here.

To this number one can add another 1 million foreign born; this can be added due to the populations of Bangladeshi’s and Pakistani's historically, along with the rest of the World (Africans, South East Asians etc) recently, arriving illegally. That’s around 5 million foreign born individuals, though that does not paint the true picture, as it does no include their offspring. Of that figure, over 1 million have been here for over 40 plus years, Indians, West Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshi’s etc; they have gone on to produce 2 generations, the third is starting to appear in some cases.
The next group, covering the mid 70s to late 80's saw another wave of South Asians plus Africans, Turks, Kurds, Lebanese, Cypriot Greeks (in regards to non Isles immigration) and various other groups. All these have gone on to reproduce. By the end of the eighties there were around 10 populations living in London who had over 200 000 members (Kurds, Turks, West Indians etc).
From the mid 90's onwards it has become impossible to tell who is here, both a vast eastern European population and a vast East Asian population are now resident, 15 years ago they did not exist. There offspring can be evidenced in nigh on every school in the Southeast. There is also a fluctuating business community of French, Germans, Americans etc, that despite there numbers, are hardly seen (200 000 plus French in London alone for the last 10 years). There are also large ex dominion communities, mainly Aussies and South Africans.
Worse, the majority of these non British populations lie in the under 35 age demographic. I wish I had kept all the population figures that have been published in the press on file; I will now in future add all such figures to this thread. I believe at least 1 in 5 of the population in England is not of Full British Isles descent.
