For what it’s worth I’ve never known a Brit who shared your opinion on integration in Britain. Those who are passionate about British history and culture know the days are numbered and they loudly lament it. Those that think it’s a “success” generally think it’s a success because Britain has become more international and more continental. There’s a lot of unrest within the Kingdom itself too. While a lot of English tend to consider themselves and everyone else British in my experience the Scots, Welsh, and Irish hold onto their ethnic identities over their national ones at least for the older generations. Millennials and younger seem to have abandoned both in favor of a more international identity. (Thus one of the reasons they get so inflamed by situations that are very uniquely American, like BLM.) This could be a very flawed view of the situation because the Brits I know are far from a randomized sample and I have never done any sort of real research on the matter. However the people I know who care about British culture think their immigration and integration policy has been disastrous.
