Well, guess what - vast majority live in a secluded clusters, oblivious to what's happening in the UK, raising their kids as if they live in their homeland. Complete disregard (and lack of knowledge in the first place) for the passing of British values, customs, traditions, understanding of history to the next generation. They live as if they have rented out a space which serves as an extension of their homeland.
I am not surprised that a lot of Brits are anxious about what's happening in these immigrant communities.
