Out of 38 close family and friends, 4 friends, myself and my sister are the sole remaining residents of the borough we grew up in.
The vast majority are willing to state openly that they left because they no longer felt they belonged, didn't recognise the place, objected to petrol stations & pubs being converted to "social housing" filled with immigrants on benefits.

3/4s of British peoples' ancestors arrived at the end of the last ice age between 15,000 and 7,500 years ago.

My point is not mute they too are immigrants to the UK.
three quarters of our ancestors came to this corner of Europe as hunter-gatherers, between 15,000 and 7,500 years ago, after the melting of the ice caps but before the land broke away from the mainland and divided into islands.
Another wave of immigration arrived during the Neolithic period, when farming developed about 6,500 years ago.

Yes but these peoples ancestry can be traced back a lot further. My point is not mute they too are immigrants to the UK. You gave me the evidence to back this up yet nothing to refute my opinion.

The 75% of the British population whose descendants arrived in the UK between 7,500 and 15,000 years ago are immigrants?

If we are all immigrants, by the same token, we are all African.
