It's an interesting point you make, but the fact that there are Asian communities in the UK, into their fourth and fifth generations, who seem to have detached themselves from British society, seems to contradict it.

Put it this way: I've never heard of an Australian emigrating to the UK "because there's too many immigrants in Australia."

Re: Do Brits move to Oz cause they think there are too many migrants in UK?
sorry i did not intend to paint a bad picture of UK as per the statistics or something like that, i just wanted to understand some of the motivations of the Brits for moving, so i looked at some possible explanation in the data. obviously Aus is not better in all respects and it's not a perfect country either (especially in regard to natural disasters).
