Reading Roy Jenkins excellent biography of Churchill, you have to wonder if Cal doesn’t have a point.
"The Last of England" - Ford Madox Brown, 1855
“And the “leaders” of Britain and America refuse to stop it.”
And we voters and non-voters are allowing this to happen.
Yo, Elizabeth, whadda think of that?

Yawn!
We keep getting this same story recycled over and over. Half the number quoted who are leaving are not British, they are foreign nationals who have lived in Britain for 3 years or more and are going home. Of the remainder who choose to move abroad, two thirds return within three years and the rest are largely retirees. . . . .
The UK is still 92.9% white anglo saxon celtic christian so compared to most countries we still have a long way to go before we disappear completely. ;-)
Where’s that picture of Prince Charles in Muslim attire rubbing prayer beads?
And the worst thing is the tea bags - the biggest threat to the Empire since Ghandi.
Scary, really scary. We’re next if we don’t stop illegals and the ever increasing legal immigration and asylum programs.

The Price of Immigration
From the desk of The Brussels Journal on Wed, 2007-08-22 16:33
A quote from The Daily Mail, 22 August 2007
Benefit claims by Eastern Europeans [in Britain] have almost trebled in the past year, official figures show. The cost of the payouts - to almost 112,000 migrants - is put at £125million a year. The Home Office figures mean that one in six of an estimated 683,000 Eastern European incomers is living off the state to some extent. A year ago, only 42,620 were claiming benefits. [...]
Once a migrant has been working here for 12 months, they are entitled to the same level of support as any British citizen. Many Poles are drawn by generous handouts for parents who, in some cases, can claim benefits for children who remain in their homeland.
A quote from The Daily Telegraph, 22 August 2007
In the second quarter of this year, the number of asylum applicants removed because they were not considered legitimate refugees declined by more than a third compared to the same period last year. There were 3,280 deported compared with 5,260 in the same period last year - and many of those went voluntarily with financial help.
It means that a ‘’priority’’ Government target to remove more failed asylum seekers than there are new applicants has been missed. The Home Office blamed the fall on the diversion of officials to the deportation of foreign criminals rather than would-be refugees.
However, recent figures showed that just one fifth of the 1,000 foreign national prisoners who were released without being considered for deportation have been thrown out of the country.
A quote from the leader of The Times, 22 August 2007
Only last month Gordon Brown insisted that all foreign criminals “will be deported”. Yet under EU law, the Government has known for three years that it has no such powers. [...] As the Home Office solicitor complained at the hearing, so long as the criminal has lived in this country for five years or more – whether or not at Her Majesty’s Pleasure – Britain “could never deport a lifer who had been released from prison and was an EU citizen”.

Bye Bye Britain: The Natives Are Fleeing
From the desk of The Brussels Journal on Fri, 2007-07-27 16:44
A quote from Press Dispensary, 25 July 2007
Increasing numbers of people are taking the decision to move overseas as a result of the UK’s current immigration policy, according to www.globalvisas.com, a specialist immigration consultancy that provides immigration advice and visa services. As numbers of immigrants to the UK from the new European Union Accession states continue to grow, more and more people in the UK are choosing to take their experience and skills overseas.
Director Liam Clifford says: “Since January 2007, we have recorded an 80% rise in British nationals applying to move overseas. As this rise continues, so does the number of enquiries we receive from people asking for help in migrating to a new country. In recent months, we have received as many as 4,000 requests in a single week from people who have had enough of Britain and want to get out.” He adds: “Ironically, the main reason for these people leaving the UK is the over-stretching of services caused by inbound immigration to the UK. We are aware of the issue of so-called ‘white flight’ from certain inner city areas to the suburbs but now people are increasingly seeking a better standard of living offered by other countries.”
The consultancy caters for immigrants to the UK as well as British people who wish to emigrate to the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada or South Africa. After more than 12 years in its field, the company has recorded an increase in the number of non-EU and low skilled EU A8 citizens coming to the UK over recent years, and is now seeing a dramatic increase in British people applying to leave the UK.
“Results, presented in a table that accompanies this report, suggests that the twenty six urban authority areas concerned, ranging in population from 100,000 to over 7 million, will all have minority native-British populations by 2036.”

Bye Bye Britain
From the desk of The Brussels Journal on Mon, 2006-11-13 14:41
A quote from Roy Liddle in The Spectator, 11 November 2006
Apparently almost a million British citizens have left the country since 2000, to live somewhere else. Last year, according to the Office for National Statistics, 380,000 people left Britain, of whom about 200,000 were British citizens. At the same time, though, 565,000 immigrants arrived in Britain, the overwhelming majority from […] [Muslim] Pakistan and Bangladesh.
These facts were reported as if they were entirely unrelated. Nobody dared to venture that there was perhaps a very direct and causal relationship […] Even for our most free-thinking and dependable think-tank, Civitas, this was a bridge too far. Its spokesman, Robert Whelan, ventured that perhaps the parlous state of the [national] health service [NHS] was to blame for the exodus. You know, I suspect the majority of those who left had next to no contact with the NHS; they are, in the main, pre-middle-aged and healthy. No, it seems patently clear to me that an important reason […] that so many Brits are getting the hell out is that they think there are too many non-European foreigners here […]
the high birth rates of immigrants (15 times those of white Britons)

What is the correct number here? Because this isn’t.
