Do you have any proof that sign was common? Or is it yet more anti-English revisionism.

There's only one photo of such a sign that surfaced in the 80s, which has become a meme ever since, for pro-immigration purposes.

Anyway, I regard the Irish as fellow British Isles people and not as foreigners, and I am sure I am far from alone in thinking that.

It's largely because of the sheer numbers they came at such a rapid pace.
In 2004, there were 20,000 Poles living in the UK.
By 2011, there was 1 million (i.e. 1 in every 67 people in the UK was Polish). I personally have progressive views when it comes to immigration but that's far too many too quick, and that doesn't include Romanians, Bulgarians, Lithuanians etc.
The Polish population has since declined to around 700,000-800,000 since Brexit.
I do disagree with people who say eastern europeans aren't integrated, first generations are never going to fully integrate and Poles and such haven't been here long enough to judge, but I'm quite certain most of their children and grandchildren will intermarry and become British.
I agree also that most British Asians are integrated but some of the Pakistani communities particularly in the North of england like Oldham, Blackburn, Bradford, Rotherham aren't and there is some big divisions in some of those towns.

Pakistanis haven’t integrated at all and probably never will; they’re just very culturally isolated and extremely conservative. While it’s true that EE British born children are often integrated, many 1st gen migrants aren’t here for the purposes of integration but just to work for a few years before returning home (which many have done and will do). Don’t agree that a first gen immigrant can never integrate West Europeans and migrants from the Anglosphere easily integrate.
Agree that they came too quick, and this extreme speed of migration from EE was the driving cause of brexit.
