It's rare that anyone ever tells us exactly how many people from abroad live in the UK ..... but the BBC has provided the figures via the Office of National Statistics.
The reason for all this honesty is that UKIP are on the rise ..... and the Politically Correct chattering classes of the left and the media are suddenly fearful that instead of the tame Tories, they will get the wild card UKIP party, pushing an agenda that they find anathema .... leaving the EU, and stopping immigration.

The reason for all this honesty is that UKIP are on the rise ..... and the Politically Correct chattering classes of the left and the media are suddenly fearful that instead of the tame Tories, they will get the wild card UKIP party, pushing an agenda that they find anathema .... leaving the EU, and stopping immigration.
So we can expect lots of attempts to prove that immigration from the EU is good for us all.
David Cameron's speech vaguely promising a referendum on EU membership, appeared to be sufficient to stop UKIP by taking away one of its two pillars of support .... but it hasn't. This meant that instead of a mid-term by-election victory in Eastleigh, the Tories stalled, and they lost to a Liberal Party that should be rights have lost its seat.
But with the news that only 44.9% of Londoners are white British, that 7.5million residents of England and Wales were foreign-born in 2011, 5% are Muslim and less than 90% of country is white, the rise of support for UKIP seems inevitable.
