Back in 2008, then Communities Secretary Hazel Blears, told a Select Committee that 1/4 of Boston, Lincolnshire's 70,000 population were Eastern Europeans.
Amazingly, for a small town, 65 different languages were said to be spoken at the time.
Enrichment continues. Fast forward a little to the present day and we see a transformed town, no longer an English town, but a town of which parts all but belong to other nations and peoples.
You've Polish shops - even the local Tescos added a Polish aisle in response to demand - Russian Shops, Ukranian Shops, and a school staffed with support workers to deal with all the different languages.
Along with that, there are plenty of tales of drunken Eastern Europeans urinating in public, and of being able to walk through the town and come across next to nobody who speaks English.
The inevitable happens, with locals made to feel foreigners in their own community, elbowed out by a mass influx of outsiders. Part of Britain ceases to be Britain.
Hand in hand goes the obvious lowering of wages, and loss of jobs to the immigrant workers. One could fairly say that mass immigration creates a low wage nation of poverty and tenuous job security.
Locals find themselves jobless, wages decline, the only ones to benefit are the immigrants and the employers, local people pay the price.
Is it any wonder that the British are upset, and that Boston is predicted to see a huge march protesting against mass immigration and immigrant workers in November of this year?
A Facebook page to support the march has already attracted thousands of supporters.
Organiser Dean Everitt told the Boston Standard that "Everybody in Boston is fed up with the migrant workers. The town is not the place I grew up in. We are local town people and we are fed up of being second class citizens in our own town. The British person is being discriminated against in their own country".
Council Leader Peter Bedford (Tory) said that "Freedom of movement means that EU citizens have a legal right to be here. They come to work. Boston Borough Council works hard to deal with the issues their presence has generated. We continue to work hard with the migrant workers, their families, community groups and other partner agencies to aid successful integration and to deal with the pressure which such large numbers have presented".
Says it all really, integration is what counts, the feelings of locals left strangers in an English town, with lower wages and jobs being snapped up by migrants, don't figure in officialdoms thinking.
The British people don't matter. It's never said outright, but you can see it plain as day in the words and deeds of those in charge.
We're it half of our MP's suddenly shoved out of a job, or reduced to minimum wage, because an army of Poles arrived to take over, or many of the council fatcats shoved out in favour of some Latvians who'd do the job for peanuts, there'd be action taken swiftly.
It's just the rest of us though, those running the show aren't suffering. It's easy for them to pontificate about the glories of free movement of labour, enrichment, integration, and all the rest of it, when it is us left paying the price.
Boston, like so many other places in this land of ours, have ceased to be Britain, and the British people are finding themselves pushed out more and more. Dare to complain and you're racist.
It's the reality which free movement of labour and mass immigration brings - lower wages, less jobs for the British, and the British people shoved aside.
Strangers in our own land, alienated from opportunity, and ignored by those who supposedly stand elected to represent Britain, is the lot of the British people now.
Unless we stand up for ourselves and do something about it then this journey to exclusion and outcast status in our own nation will continue.
Boston is a picture of all Britains future in miniature unless we act now.
