I remember reading that the UK has the oldest Chinese community in Europe, dating back from the 1750s. Anyone know anything about that?

North east Ireland
The first sentence is:
Immigration to the United Kingdom concerns the inward movement of people, cultural and ethnic groups into the nation state entity that is today known as the United Kingdom.
and in the article the section "Scots" says:
During the 5th century, the Dál Riatan Scots started raiding north-western Britain from their base in north-east Ireland. After the Roman withdrawal, this developed from piracy to full-scale invasion, and,within a hundred years, they had established a kingdom in Argyll.
My issue is that Scots are a group that came from mixing of Gaelic, Pictish, Viking and Brythonic clans. This is identified as 11th century or there about. This subsection should be "Early Irish Gaelic." I also believe this Kingdom in Argyle maybe have been Brythonic... — Preceding

"This article deals with immigration to the political entity now known as the United Kingdom until its full creation in 1922." This is not a good title. The term "United Kingdom" describes several iterations of the same state (see
United Kingdom (disambiguation)). One can argue that the 1801 version was "its full creation".
If this is to be human geography, then there is little to recommend dividing the Irish from the "British", unless of course, the Scottish and English also have separate articles about settlement. But to the point, there is little to be gained from dividing less well known periods into different articles, from more historically attested settlements. It all should be amassed together, really. Why not do as the "Settlement of the British Isles" has done and merely call it, "Settlement of Great Britain", if you wish to combine that of the Scottish and English together, even in the error of the Irish having their own article.

The concept of Scotland and England are nations that developed centuries after the history of the Islands started. But the Roman historians made a distinction Between the two Islands. Your logic would lead to us incorporating the
Immigration to the United Kingdom since 1922 (this article was split out of that one) into the same article as "Settlement of Great Britain" which would be wrong because the UK is a state that encompass Norther Ireland. --

That's why I would ideally have it be all BI people, "big" or "small" and not these artificially divided, politically decided articles. Regardless of politics or religion, there are not as many differences between all of these parallel origins, unless we went to the ethnography of Tacitus, which stated that the English were French, Scottish were German and the Welsh were Spanish. Although the first two are clearly understood, I am confused as to whether Welsh would include Irish, examining their claims of Mil Espaine.

Irish immigrants have been the largest proportion of total immigrants to Britain. This is shown by the fact that 25% of all people in the United Kingdom - discounting Northern Ireland - have Irish roots. That is a total of fourteen million people. Yet, despite this, there is no Ireland/Irish section. We should include one as soon as possible. —Preceding

Few sections quantify immigration: I think this is an important element of any record of immigration, and would welcome any help in uncovering good references. For instance.. How many Romans remained in Britain after the empire withdrew? 100? or 1000? What was the population of the UK in each of the periods under discussion? How many Vikings ever moved to the UK?
Recent edit
A passage in the recent edit by
CelticBrain reads "However, after Britannia ceased to be a functional Roman province, many of the urban areas collapsed and the overall population may have declined by as much as two million.<ref>{{cite web|last=Härke|first=Heinrich|title=Anglo-Saxon immigration and ethnogenesis|year=2011|url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/272308208_Anglo-Saxon_Immigration_and_Ethnogenesis}}</ref> This seems to me dubious, although it is not possible to check as no page number is supplied. I cannot find any reference in the source stating that many urban areas collapsed, and according to all I have read, all urban areas collapsed. The source says p. 8 that the population in the later Germanic settlement areas declined from around 2 million to 1 million, not by 2 million.

Hey
Dudley Miles, I wrote that on the basis of the 3 million figure in the previous sentence, but if you want to change it to "declined to around 1 million" or something like that, go ahead.

Migration watch UK is a biased source
Wiki should not use statistics from a migration sceptical think tank as primary source for its overview paragraph. Migration watch UK is not an unbiased source. Refering to footnote 1
