Sadly, the UK is now in a similar situation to the Western Roman Empire in around 460 A.D. At that time, large numbers of 'Barbarians' crossed into the Empire from the east, not, as the popular misconception has it, to destroy it, but because they saw it as a land flowing with milk and honey. The Roman elite did nothing to prevent this, but effectively established their own proto-feudal territories, which had little or nothing in common with the failing empire. As the Gothic leader Theodoric expressed it at the time, 'Every Goth aspires to be a Roman. Only a very poor Roman would aspire to be a Goth.'
By the time that the results of this understandable but selfish approach became clear, it was no longer possible to reverse it, and 400 years of civilisation rapidly collapsed.
