Yes, the first sentence is just that, a first sentence.

If, as I suggested, you looked beyond your comfortable first sentence analogy and referenced the historical documentation available you'd see that societal engineering / integration (both pre and post war) has been a mainstay of British / English history.
In fact anyone who looks beyond the first sentence of the page I linked to earlier will see that the second last paragraph states;
"
In the 21st century, Britain is a multi-racial society. The huge contributions made by the various immigrant communities to Britain's economic and social development since the Second World War are now widely recognised. Their role in creating a more diverse and tolerant society is indisputable".
British / English immigration history and societal engineering did not begin post second world war.
You see, the uncomfortable reality for revisionist historians is that the immigrants who were welcomed post war to help with the economic regeneration of Britain were, like the many hundreds of thousands of immigrants before them, neither asked nor forced to return to their native countries after the objective(s) had been broadly achieved. Instead what the vast majority of them did was to settle in Britain and further consolidate an already existing social engineering cycle which had been set in motion (whether inadvertently or not) many years before hand.
Thank
you for demonstrating a patently prejudiced and selective interpretation of (your own) history.
