| I thought we had 2 million Polish immigrants over the last decade? Are you saying we had more African or Indian subcontinent immigrants than that? |
Yes. Some 60~80% of immigration to the UK over the last decade has been from outside the EU. As to the Poles (from Wikipedia):
The 2001 UK Census recorded 60,711 Polish-born people resident in the UK.[22] 60,680 of these were resident in Great Britain (the UK minus Northern Ireland), compared to 73,951 in 1991.[23] With the migration that has followed Poland's accession to the EU, the Polish-born population in the whole of the UK is estimated to have risen to 515,000 in the year to March 2010.[13] Unofficial estimates have put the number of Poles living in the UK higher, at up to one million |
