Well, what do you expect, pretty much everyone tried to invade the
island at one time or another with varying success ;-)
No wonder many natives got sick of it and dispersed into just about
every corner of the world....

More seriously, it's a good thing. It makes English pretty easy to
learn compared to most other languages, and I frequently find that
English enables me to decipher bits and pieces of other languages as
well. The English got the language, The French got the SI units, I
wonder who is going to get the currency (yes I believe there will be a
worldwide common currency eventually).
