True, lots of Poles and Romanians. If you mean north of England, Liverpool and Manchester have large numbers of Irish, going back decades, I'd guess probably 30% of the people there have at least one Irish grandparent, same goes for Brum. Liverpool has the oldest black communities in the UK and Manchester plus it's surrounding towns have quite a lot of Asians too.
Jobs I don't know, if I was an immigrant I would be thinking I probably wouldn't want to go to London. It is multicultural but the people I know who have gone there to live and work say it's kind of s
hit to live in unless you're loaded.

My reasoning for immigrants from India and the middle east is because if the SNP achieves independence, and then gets mopped up by the EU (The most likely end result) I can't think why anyone from Poland or Romania would want to move to Glasgow when they can go to Berlin, London or Paris. The Scots would have to bring in people from countries where Scotland can provide a significant improvement in people's standard of living.
An independent Scotland is not going to attract EU migrants, honestly Belgrade would be more appealing than Glasgow.

Any reason why?
