Welcome to the forum brother. Indeed it's a pity to know that people are so much brainwashed by the Mass Media even though there were soooo many evidence to prove that Muslims or Arabs even had nothing to do with 9-11 whatsoever. In sha' ALLAH people will wake up and demand the REAL proof of what happened there and there are many documentaries with proofs showing WHO did it.
May ALLAH ta`ala raise Islam and Muslims.
I can't reply to your question about UK coz i'm not there

In sha' ALLAH you'll enjoy your staying here.
Ma`a salama
