Most of the first generation in the UK don't have much problems assimilating to the satisfaction of the host culture. The problem lies with the second generation, who grew up thoroughly assimilated, yet who decide to pursue what to them is an alien culture. See the dad who denounced his son, who went to join ISIS, as a traitor to his country (UK). And yes, that dad regarded the UK as the country of both the son, who was born here, and the father, who moved here and adopted it as his home.
