In a sense, everyone who comes to Britain embraces some aspect of it -- otherwise they wouldn't come. But that itself isn't justification to allow them to come to a densely populated isle with its own grave problems with regard to environment, jobs, housing, and welfare provision.

That documentary is one sided. It brings up only negative aspects of immigration and represents the viewpoint of just a few angry individuals.

Of course it's one-sided: that is its purpose. That doesn't invalidate its arguments. But I have yet to what the the other side is. What exact advantages does Britain derive from umpteen curry houses? What advantages other than the nebulous "drive" and "energy" that immigrants are always supposed to bring to a new country?
The individuals are not necessarily "angry." But they are clearly concerned at policies over which they have no control and which affect them adversely. Were they consulted with regard to immigration policies? Should they not have a voice? Are they mere serfs who should do the bidding of ruling-class masters?
