50. Listening Practice The third group arrived in the mid-seventies for completely different reasons. These were the Ugandan Asians who were allowed into Britain because they had been forced out of Uganda. Most of them were British passport holders. But at that time there was no labor shortage in Britain and there was a lot of protest over their arrival. The first two groups came to jobs. The Ugandan Asians arrived at a time of high unemployment and a housing shortage. People from many different countries have come to live in Britain. They have come to Britain for a lot of different reasons and at different periods in Britain’s history. Three of the main groups are described here. Firstly, in the mid-fifties (i.e. around 1955) there was a great deal of immigration from the West Indies when there was a labor shortage in Britain. Most West Indians left their islands because they felt they could get a secure job in Britain with a higher standard of living. The second group of immigrants came in the early sixties. They were mainly from Pakistan, India and what is now Bangladesh. They also came because of a labor shortage in Britain and because of the prospect of a higher standard of living. They went to the cities in the Midlands and North where the labor shortage was greatest.
