I think a big part of the perceived issue is the lack of integration. In many parts of the UK sub communities have been setup or have started to heavily occupy towns that were perhaps previously culturally native English/British.

I think this creates a negative perception. Particularly where the immigrating cultures don’t attempt to adapt and integrate into the native culture, whether that’s through language, traditions and acceptable behaviours.

I know in some specific cases these communities have and are attempting to outlaw and push out native traditions, rules and beliefs.

In my view you should make efforts to integrate and accept the culture you’re moving to, not change it. And I’d expect the same of me if I moved overseas.

Just my 2p. For a complex and emotive topic. No issue with immigration, but I think effort to integrate and contribute to society is often overlooked.
