Sinking land
In the Ice Age, land weighed down under 1500m of ice sank by over 100m. Land round the edges (like north France and southern England) rose in compensation - like a see-saw.
When the ice melted, the fairly rigid land mass took time to return to its original levels - so much so, that Kent and Nord-PasdeCalais are still slowly sinking back at rate of a few cm every 100 years. This causes long-run worries for sea-flooding. Much of the low-lying coast on either side is protected by seawalls, which can be breached if there's a storm at high tide. Where the land behind is former marshland, it may be 0,5m below mean sealevel.
And that does not include the influx of bloody immigrants LOL

Not due to foreigners, but yes, *parts* of the UK are sinking. In fact, the whole south of England is sinking, and the whole of the north of England, and Scotland is rising. This is just doe to the natural movements of the Earth - though I'm not sure it's as much as 2inches per year. Some areas are sinking faster than others though. London, for example, is sinking much faster, but for a different reason. The land on which is built on it gradually losing it's water-table, which is causing the entire city to streadily sink. So in answer to your question, yes large parts of the UK are sinking, whilst some are rising. Not as fast as 2in p/y, and no, not becuase of foreigners, because of the Earths natural movement.

No it is not! It is sinking at a rate of three inches a year under the weight of European Community rules

It fluctuates, it sinks more during the main tourist season, particularly when the Americans arrive,
