MIGRANTS are flocking to Britain at a rate of one a minute, according to shock new figures
Official statistics show more than 518,000 people moved to the UK last year ? an average of more than 1,400 every day.
The annual number of people granted British citizenship also rose by almost 60% between 2008 and 2009.
Former UKIP leader Nigel Farage quoted the figures as he attacked the three main parties for their ?dishonest? attitudes towards immigration.
He said: ?It is not racist to talk about immigration from a non-racial and non-sectarian perspective.
?But the figures quoted refer to non-EU immigration and the main parties are all signed up.
?We have a total open-door policy to an unlimited number of people coming to this country from eastern Europe.?
