'ere, my family were immigrants (both sides): and came here for a better life and ended up with a catering establishment that was commissioned to bake the Queen's engagement cake and Prince Charles' christening cake .. however, at the time they faced also discrimination and violence (and bricks through the windows)

Britain is again at a point in its "history" with (seemingly) large waves of immigrants .. whether illegal/ economic/ refugees/ asylum seekers etc .. things will get heated .. but eventually everyone will assimilate and contribute - one way or another - but it will become a "normalised" situation.
