    Anonymous said... I am Welsh, and tend to get a little upset when anyone says: Oh! You're English then. (Wednesday, November 15, 2006) Anonymous said... I was born in Scotland and live in London: so I'm proud to describe myself as British! (Thursday, January 04, 2007) Anonymous said... I was born in Scotland, i have always lived in Scotland and my both parents are the exact same. So that makes me Scottish. I am proud of my Scottish heritage but of course iam still British. But i will always be a Scotsman before i am British. Iam still proud to be British but when you usually say to a foreigner you are from britain they allways assume u are from England which I hate. I am not englishi will never be and i never want to be. (Wednesday, March 21, 2007) http://blogs.projectbritain.com/2006/03/british-or-english.html#comments

    British? Briton? Brit? (cont.)

    Arnold said... The strange thing is that the only people in the UK who call themselves British are those that live in Northern Ireland. We don't call ourselves "Northern Irish" but would say "I'm British, I come from Northern Ireland" or something along those lines. Of course, that's apart from those in Northern Ireland who would call themselves Irish. They definitely don't say they're British. Anonymous said... I am English. NOT British. It is the Government's fault that the English are too afraid to refer to themselves as English. (Friday, November 09, 2007)

At the same time about 380 000 people left the UK to live abroad, over half of them British citizens. The inflow from migrants to the UK was fuelled by the inclusion of new member states to the EU. The largest single inflow from migrants came from Poland with 57 000 arriving in 2005.
