A lot have left/are leaving.
A lot of "English" are like me, made up of all sorts really. (I still consider myself English though, seeing as I was born here as were my parents). One of my grandparents even was 100% English. However, as I have Welsh and even a bit of Scots blood in me, I consider myself British more than anything. I bet there are a lot of that 50 million like that.

Hitler’s invasion of Belgium in May 1940 as part of the Nazis’ Western Offensive split the Miliband family in half: Ralph and father Samuel fled to England, while Ralph's mother Renée and baby sister Nan stayed behind for the duration of the war. They were not reunited until 1950.[4]
