Hang on.... that isn't what the survey says at all. That figure is based on everyone in the country who was identified as non-British. This includes the immigrants who arrived in the 50s and are now drawing pensions. Those responsible for the study say it is a nonsensical figure to bandy about.

Also, note the lead professor's name is Dustmann.
