White Fright, White Flight
There is a large amount of material on the web about British people leaving Britain. I would use the word “fleeing”. The situation is very similar to that of South Africa, with a large increase in the coloured populations of Britain pushing it in the South Africa directions, and vast increases in the crime rate of both countries. The BBC News of December 11 2006 puts the figure of the number of British citizens living overseas as one in 10 or 5.5 million British-born people. Their places have been filled by largely coloured migrants, continuing the cycle of white fright and white flight.
