There is a flood of Anglo-Saxon Brits emigrating to
mainly Australia, NZ and the US, where they assimilate
easily, fully and permanently. The ones who move to
Europe usually do so on a temporary basis. Every
naturalization ceremony in the US lists a large number
of Brits becoming US citizens and I suspect they do
the same in the other English speaking countries they
emigrate to.

Many I have met cite their dissatisfaction with the
"Europeanization" and wilting of the traditional
indomitable British bulldog spirit due to the
corroding effect of those immigrants who refuse to
assimilate and are suspected of having no loyalty to
Britain.

It is unlikely that they would return to live in
Britain, other than to visit their relatives as Cornel
himself has unintentionally admitted when he said
above, "...and in the unlikely probability that they
returned..."
