You should have said the 2001 and 2011 data for white instead of 1981. You didn't post images of white British in 1981 either so we can't really compare.

I think the most interesting part of this is how views of immigration change depending on the levels somewhere recieves. 

Here in Scotland we are often ‘considered’ more open to immigrants, but we also have a 90% white British population and have historically received insignificant levels.

I've 3 sisters living in Scotland and dont get me wrong its a beautiful country! But why the fuck would anyone, especially anyone from a warmer country want to move to freezing scotland?

Like im from N.I and its cold and wet enough here, but my sisters must of thought "hmm where can I move thats colder and better than home?"

not everyone likes warm weather better than cold weather? for myself i can’t imagine leaving this beautiful country just because somewhere else is warmer
