Some immigrants are running from, others jumping to. Around Bedford we have Poles that came here to fight on against the Nazis, and we have Poles that came here to work in the brickworks, and we have Poles that came here since. We have Polish Churches, Polish Clubs and Polish shops selling Polish produce. We have Polish notice boards with all forms of Polish craftsmen advertising on them. Around here they contribute.
In defence of the English, it certainly wasn't all their fault, particularly in America. Everybody was going (e.g. New Amsterdam, requests for the Constitution to be published simultaneously in English and German, the French bits, the Spanish bits, every modern day American somehow being part-Irish...)
