 Economic Growth a bit iffy..... - Lygonos
Europeans have integrated with the UK for thousands of years and will continue to do so.

Plenty of Poles remained in central Scotland after Stalin annexed Poland after WW2.

Some of the best fighters we had against the Nazis.

There is a statue planned for a Polish general who was put in charge of the defence of East Scotland in WW2 and played an integral part of the D-day plans, yet spent his days as a barman in Edinburgh after having his Polish citizenship removed by the communists, unable to return home.

Well known to the Dutch residents of Breda.

"Maczek's Division continued to spearhead the Allied drive across the battlefields of northern France, Belgium, the Netherlands and finally Germany. During its progress it liberated Ypres, Oostnieuwkerke, Roeselare, Tielt, Ruislede and Ghent in Belgium. (Coincidentally, the Polish word maczek means "poppy" in English, the symbol of remembrance associated with the area around Ypres in the First World War.) Thanks to an outflanking manoeuvre, it proved possible to free Breda in the Netherlands after a hard fight but without incurring losses in the town's population. A petition on behalf of 40,000 inhabitants of Breda resulted in Maczek being made an honorary Dutch citizen after the war. The Division's finest hour came when its forces accepted the surrender of the German naval base of Wilhelmshaven, taking captive the entire garrison, together with some 200 vessels of Hitler's Kriegsmarine."
