According to this BBC report there are 5.5 Million British born people living outside the UK, bloody immigrants!. Seriously though, it does put some of the anti immigrant hysteria in proportion!
Country name Resident Britons
Australia 1,300,000
Spain 761,000
United States 678,000
Canada 603,000
Ireland 291,000
New Zealand 215,000
South Africa 212,000
France 200,000
And according to this...

In 2001 4.9 Million of the UK's population were born outside the country! And of course quite a few of those born outside were actually born to forces personel and surely can't be classed as immigrants.
