The Labour Government did the right thing and the 1947 Polish Resettlement Act granted economic support for these refugees and gave them the right to work- while offering a right to citizenship.
They quickly integrated into the UK & it showed how to work to integrate new arrivals.

Would have been happy with either to win to be honest; both era-defining albums that didn’t sound like anything else out there (though of course ATCQ and Jungle Brothers were hot on the tail).
