70,000 Rise in net migration to UK

Net migration into the UK totalled 243,000 in the year up to March, up from 175,000 in the previous 12 months, official figures show.

The Office for National Statistics said the increase in migration was "statistically significant".

EU citizens accounted for two-thirds of the immigration increase, the ONS said.

There was also an increase in Romanian and Bulgarian citizens migrating to the UK, up to 28,000 from 12,000 in the previous 12 months.

Employment restrictions affecting citizens from the two countries were lifted in January.

Prime Minister David Cameron has previously pledged to reduce net migration to below 100,000 by 2015.

Separate figures showed over 25% of births in England and Wales last year were to mothers themselves born abroad.


There was also a rise in the proportion of people in the UK who were born overseas.


There was an increase in people migrating for work, to 228,000, while 177,000 arrivals were students. An increased number came to the UK to join family members.

For the first time in nearly three years, the number of people migrating to the UK from outside the EU increased, to 265,000.

All the figures are for the 12-month period up to March.

What the media rarely discusses is this:

Last year, 207,000 British citizens - one every three minutes - left the country while 510,000 foreigners arrived to stay for a year or more.
Nor do they treat this as a national crisis:

Something quite remarkable happened in London in the first decade of the new millennium. The number of white British people in the capital fell by 620,000 - equivalent to the entire population of Glasgow moving out.

The consequence, as revealed by the latest census, is that white Brits are now in a minority in London, making up just 45% of its residents.

I looked at the data after the 2011 census and came to the same conclusion.
-White british aren't at replacement
-White british are migrating out of the Uk
-Non-whites are taking their place.

This makes it twice the problem as it would be if this wasn't occurring.
 
I love living in multi cultural Great Britain, Prince Charles the next king has read the Koran and wants to be defender of all faiths. Its grrrrrrrrrreat.
