Britain gets an immigrant per minute
Migrants are flocking to Britain at the rate of one every minute, says a new study. The largest group of foreign migrants this year happened to be people from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, who accounted for two-thirds of the country’s net immigration, it added. The statistics comes barely a week before Romania and Bulgaria are due to join the European Union on January 1 - giving 30 million more people the right to enter and work in Britain.
The analysis of official immigration statistics by the MigrationWatch think-tank found that the net outflow of British citizens leaving to live abroad rose to 107,000 last year - equivalent to one Briton quitting the country every five minutes, or almost 300 per day.
