"Did the Trojans Migrate to Britain After the Trojan War?"

No, but the Romans did and they said they were descended from the Trojans long ago.  "After" seems key here - the question seems to imply immediacy, rather than within 500 years.

Of course they did. Who got rid of Gogmagog if they didn't?

Plus, Britain is named after Brutus of Troy. What other evidence do you need?

Just shows how long a history there is of British governments failing to get a grip on immigration!
