The number of British citizens who chose to go permanently abroad doubled from 53,000 in 2001 to 107,000 last year - some 2,000 people a week.
interesting

The great man will be rolling in his grave. What Britain needs is a solution to make Britain great again and it is this. Close the borders, allow smoking in pubs again, put the Benny Hill show back on tv and the Goodies, fly the union jack everywhere, shoot Jeremy Kyle and all those that go on that stupid show, ban the reality tv shows, bring back Miss world on normal tv, stop people owning second homes, bring back a decent train and bus service, make Hail to England by Manowar the national anthem, re-open the mines and bring back heavy industry and car manufacturing, shoot middle management, ban the wearing of hoods, ban the use of the phrases " innit" and "dont' disrespect me" Allow the pubs to become pubs once again and stop turning them into ****ing restaurants And finally shoot all the lefty liberals that caused all the mess in the first place. All the PC brigade that walk about looking like they are sucking a lemon. They will not be happy until we are all the same, then they wont' be happy. So **** it shoot them too

I can't begin to express what a depressing return to old Britain that would be. Not really into bans (except the burka) and would prefer to see less of Jeremy Kyle type punters on TV and some of the reality shows...but all the other changes you think Mr Churchill would despise I think he, being a modern man, would rather like.

But it's awful, all these bloody foreigners coming to our country, taking our jobs, marrying our women, reading our papers. All these immigrants make me want to go and live in another country.

I often wonder if those who complain about foreigners coming to the UK and taking peoples jobs enjoyed watching Auf Weidersen Pet.

Just a thought.

It is like the UK government is trying to tell it's Citizens we do not care who you fall in love with and marry but you better make sure they are from an EU country or we will make it as difficult as possible for you to marry your love and live with them in the UK so you will have to choose between your family and your love. SO NOT RIGHT!
I was just sitting thinking the same myself UK born and raised came to Canada with my parents with my fathers job Married a Canadian had 2 children parents retired back to uk and because my husband is Canadian we have to pay thousands and maybe get rejected I have no family here and just want my own husband to be able to relocate to my home country without all the hassle We dont mind immigration fee its the savings and red tape
and here at the remembrance day services we still sing God save The Queen and to become a Canada Citizen you have pledge allegiance to The Queen I am begining to understand why a lot of Canadians dont want the Royal Family

An Immigrant is a person who has citizenship in one country but who enters a different country to set up a permanent residence.

If you travel the globe you will observe variations in dress, first generation migrants tend to hold onto as much of their culture as they can, thus they wear clothes and styles that they are use too.
If you combine this with a foreign language then you could assume correctly that you have a immigrant.
