5.5 million long-term migrants arrived in the UK between 1997 and 2010, p. By no means all of them were EU citizens (although Labour's over-hasty and unforced acceptance of Eastern European migration is another matter). In fact, the official muslim population doubled between 2000 and 2010 and most of that wasn't from the EU. And those are just the legal ones. The number of NI numbers issued for work suggests the number is half as big again.
All of which happened under Blair and latterly Brown. Because Labour wanted to 'rub the right's nose in diversity'.
Cheers for that.
