The figures people believe are the figures they want to believe.

I see claims that over 9 million people living in the United Kingdom are foreign-born if you include the children they produced. That is 15%, not 5% as mentioned above. When they concentrate in their own neighborhoods and continue to speak their native languages, they are not really very "British".

Yes, many British citizens are leaving and their numbers offset the immigration numbers, but only for one year. The following year's numbers start with the net increase figures.
