Become a true Brit, drive a foreign car, drink a foreign lager, eat foreign food, support a football team full of, managed by and owned, by foreigners.
And then tell everyone you hate foreigners.
If ever I hear this “phrase” it makes me eyes roll so hard it hurts. Because how many English people speak more than one language 🤔 some of them are barely conversant in English so the sheer gall of suggesting other people “integrate” from their seat of ignorance is grotesquely wrong
“Integrate” is a dog whistle designed to create division. It amplifies the voice of the xenophobic and is further fuelled by MSM for views/press. Immigrants should retain their heritage. Usually it’s the 2nd gen of immigrant families that identify the country as home/ they are British etc.
My city thrives because of the latest immigrants. Shops don't stay empty, markets are busier, 000s of foreign students keep so many business's going. And the choice of foods from all over the world is awesome. They're in the same areas and shops that my Irish ancestors were in back in the 1870s.
I don’t understand this importance of whether immigrants integrate or not. I’m white and was born here, I’ve no intention of integrating any time soon.
As a descendant of Irish immigrants generations back and a 60’s schoolchild learning with second generation Eastern European immigrants AND having Windrush generation descendants as in laws, I reckon integration has been a big success
No what they mean when they say “Integrate” is paint your face white. Then you will be “Integrated”. If you are brown or black you cannot be “Integrated” in their mind. You remain a foreigner. It’s really that simple.

I have a lot of non-British friends and to be honest, talking with them is usually a lot more interesting than talking with 'Brits'.
