HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lonely_Londoners" \o "The Lonely Londoners"The Lonely Londoners, as with most of his later work, focuses on the immigration of West Indians to Britain in the 1950's/60's, and the cultural differences which are often subtle and implicit to the dying Empire's fantasy of a "white nation".
