More than one in three people living in London were born outside Britain, an official analysis showed yesterday.
Nearly half of them have arrived over the past decade in the wave of immigration that began under Tony Blair’s government.

I was born abroad but I'm English. We're talking about national and racial identity here, not just geography and well you know it. Harry Webb and I have a birth country in common, but we're both as English as roast beef and yorkshire pud.
