Answer 2

I read something on these lines very recently, it was on a daily basis... and though I can't remember the exact number, it's very high... and is, exactly half as many, as those migrating here, and that's HIGH! I was stunned to be quite honest, when I read it. If I find the site again.

Addendum: Not the site I read before, but it carries similar statistics, the link for further reading is below it.

THE FACTS ON IMMIGRATION
FACT: Britain has a net migration gain of 500 a day: 1,500 foreigners arrive to work for at least a year, while 1,000 people leave daily. The net immigration total was 185,000 in 2005.

pasted info from another news site dated 25 August 2006:
POPULATION HITS 60M
THE UK's population has passed 60million for the first time.

A rise of 375,000 (0.6 per cent) took the figure to 60.2million last June, the Office for National Statistics said yesterday.

The rise, fuelled by migration, is the biggest since 1962.

At 0.8 per cent, Northern Ireland had the fastest population growth. England's grew by 0.7 per cent, Scotland's by 0.3 per cent and Wales by 0.2 per cent. Scotland's population is 5.1million, England 50.4million, Wales three million and Northern Ireland 1.7million.

The migration of citizens from nations which joined the EU in May 2004 has been the driving force behind the increase.

Natural change, the difference between births and deaths, increased from 104,000 in 2003-4 to 127,000 in 2004-5.

I have had the same experience as " Throwmelonsatbuttercup" I lived in oz for 14 years and am back here now because of family and I absolutely hate it here now, not because of the different cultures but because it is too crowded and very hard to make a decent living. The air is not fresh, you just can't smell that fresh morning dew anymore. I will go back one day.....
