Absolutely, we asked for help after the Second World War, we asked for help when setting up the NHS (hence the large number of 'Asian' doctors) and we also had large numbers of British passport holders from previous Commonwealth countries come over when they were expelled from Uganda.
A large proportion of our multiculturalism is due to our colonial past, we reaped the benefit of exploiting the world, then, and now, to an extent, we are 'paying' for it.
