Default Migration wave means a third of Londoners were born abroad

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.
Almost four in ten of all the foreign-born people in the country live in London, the Office for National Statistics said. They make up 34 per cent of the capital’s population.

Imagine what that percentage would have been in another 5 years if Labour had won the last election and had continued cynically "importing" voters?

Joanna Lumley and Cliff Richard were born abroad. Go back far enough and we're all immigrants.

what you say is true in essence

but that is not really the point here. it is about a swathe of the population not being attached to an area or having any community identity. Its about ghettos in poor areas where people hark back to their country of origin (like East London). Its about ridiculous LOndon schools where English is not the first language and in a class of 24 there are 16 diff mother tongues.

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.

Racial identity does not define your nationality
