Unless Dr. Who visits and turns half the population black.

Yes of course. I'd say they've been here since at least the end of the crusades when some were brought back as captives.
Did you know the term 'Gypsy' comes from Victorian Britain? They were originally Egyptians (perhaps some may have also been muslim, considering that fact) and called such, but as time went on and people were wont to abbreviate back then as they are now, it eventually evolved into 'Gypsies'.

Sure, Britain was a globe spanning Empire and there are certain to have been some Muslims operating businesses in London. You'd be unlikely to actually meet one unless you sought them out, tho.
>The Shah Jahan Mosque (also known as Woking Mosque) in Oriental Road, Woking, England, is the first purpose-built mosque in the United Kingdom. Built in 1889, it is located 30 miles (50 km) southwest of London. It is a Grade I listed building.[1]

>some were brought back as captives.
Why the FUCK would you bring captive enemy soldiers to your homeland? Do you have any evidence, whatsoever, that even a single one was brought to Britain as a captive after the Crusades? Frederick Barbarossa had a Muslim dwarf adviser / entertainer, but I'm pretty sure he was just a hireling, not a captive.

I see an english lesson is in order:
"I'd say"= speculation.

Well there are records of black people in Henry the 8th's time so... probably

I asked you to defend your speculation, and asked if you had evidence for it, and you react like I'm unfairly dragging you over the coals? Fuck you, retard, if you seriously put zero thought into your cretinous opinions then spare us the irritation of having to read them.
