I can only laugh at Churchill's claim that there are 10 lakh Goan population residing in the UK.
10 lakh is the same as 1 million. Does he really believe there are 1 million Goans in the UK? What a joke!! Ahahaha!!! According to Indian High Commission, the estimate is that there are 1 million indians in total residing in the UK, which makes the UK the European country with a larger indian community, followed by Holand and Portugal. Goans will, of course, be en extremely low representation of that figure of 1 million.
