White Britons are now officially classed as a minority group in three towns and cities outside London - with other urban areas set to follow by 2020, it was revealed today

The stream of Eastern European immigrants entering the country in the past decade has tipped the balance in Leicester, Luton and Slough, a study based on the 2011 UK census shows.

Academics at the University of Manchester also say that the once a decade survey broke down the white population into white British, Irish, Irish traveller and other white - giving a clearer picture.

Overall the immigrant population of England and Wales went up by 3million over the past decade, contributing to this sea change.

The figures show more than a third of the 110,000 immigrants living in Leicester arrived there after 2004, while in Luton 40 per cent of its 60,000 foreign-born residents came since then.

White British people are also a minority in London as 3.7million described their ethnicity as 'White British' in 2011 - down from 4.3million in 2001, and making up 44.9 per cent of the city's population.

In the east London borough of Newham, 17 per cent of the population are white British

'The public are already dismayed to find that the white British are now a minority in their own capital. This report confirms that other cities will soon follow,' he said.

'All this is a direct consequence of Labour's mass-immigration policy rammed through in the teeth of public opposition.'

Two-thirds of residents in Slough are non-white foreigners, with Pakistanis and Indians making up half that number.

In Leicester 45 per cent of people living there are white British, with Indians making up 28 per cent of the remaining residents.

Luton has a 45 per cent white British population, but according to the census more than three quarters of all people living there say they feel British.

Ludi Simpson, professor of population studies at the University of Manchester, said this data was important for Britain.

'We need to understand changing ethnic composition to understand our citizens' changing needs,' he said.

'Housing, school meals, care of older people, cultural and entertainment facilities, funeral services and many other aspects of local services are all intrinsically affected.'

'We already know from other sources that British identity is felt at least as strongly by those of minority ethnicity as those of white British ethnicity. This is the case for people of similar age and background born in the UK.'

. This issue is not about colour, it's about culture, nationality and how our hard won values and way of life is being steadily destroyed under our noses by the very people who are supposed to be leading and protecting us. No other nation in the world would stand for what has been done to the UK because they would rise up against it. For some reason, we haven't done this so far but it must come soon. We cannot undo what has been done but we can stand together and demand that the illegals are returned forthwith and that the flow is stemmed before any further damage is done. In or out of the EU we should dump the human rights act, refuse EU freedom of movement and seize back complete control of our borders. We cannot wait until next month or next year. We need this to happen as soon as possible and any, so called, leader that doesn't have the stomach for it should make way for one that does.
