5.5m Britons 'opt to live abroad'

Quote:
Almost one in 10 British citizens are living overseas, according to a study of people coming in and out of the UK.

Studies by the Institute for Public Policy Research, published on the BBC News website, indicates that at least 5.5m British-born people live abroad.

Figures suggest the rate of departure has been so great that population falls are only masked by immigration.

While Australia and Spain are the top locations, increasing numbers are heading to major Asian economies.

According to the UK Census 2001, - 750,657 people living in Britain had been born in Ireland.

Wasn't been sarcastic about the British being welcome here. I'm always pleased to hear a British accent.

I didn't take it as you were being sarcastic but was just interesting in what was the opposite view. ()^
