London lost more than a third of its residents in an exodus to the countryside during the last decade with 1.8 million immigrants pouring into the captial to replace them.
However, this net loss from internal migration was more than offset by 1.8 million international migrants who arrived in the city during this period – many eastern Europeans willing to undertake low-paid work.
The original people leave, replaced by the cosmopolitan and stateless people who now take over.
Sad and pointless.
