Indeed. I can trace mine back to before the Civil War, but part of that genealogy is Welsh, part English, snd part Scottish, and at some point a dash of Roma. Which 'homeland' should I aspire to ? Do we follow the American logic for declaring yourself "Irish" on St Patrick's Day, one great grandparent counts ?

But are they each a distinct group ? How many 'English' have Scots, Welsh, or Irish parents, grandparents, or great grandparents ? How many generations back must the bloodline be traceable ? It is much easier to consider this in parts of Wales, or the more remote areas of Scotland, admittedly, but a lot of Britons are mongrels.

And the costs of care go up. There is no easy answer to this issue. Whatever is done to reduce immigration will cost, but would people be willing to accept that ?

Presumably the Ukrainians understand what they are doing, why they are doing it, and what they hope to acheive.

Do you think GM would actually be welcome ?

Rwandan President Kagame re-elected for a 4th term, with 99% of the vote.

Loving the irony of Russian news outlets condemning the threat to their 'peaceful civilian population', yet also reporting the drone strikes on Ukrainian towns and villages.

There is a lot of pro-Russian guff swamping places like YouTube.

Indeed. From what I have seen the Russians have been battered, especially that troop convoy that got HIMARS'd.

You cannot apply for asylum at a UK embassy, you must physically be in the UK. AFAIK there are only 3 approved routes; for Afghans, Ukrainians, and people from Hong Kong.

Of course, and some of the 'English' participants are probably not particularly racist, they are just looking for a ruck and the chance to loot shops. What we really need is a spell of cold wet weather to dampen the fuses.

Who are these 'proper' English ?

Follow up answer ; the rioters. My wife is very keen on Anglo-Saxon history, and has had books on the subject published. She has a couple of sweat shirts and hoodies with A/S motifs but has just said she is afraid to be seen out in them because she fears she will be thought to be part of the disorder.

Stop trying to be sensible, your conspiracy nut version is much more believable.

Who is denying the English their identity ?

Dream

Walk round many Welsh towns and villages and you won't hear English being spoken. Why can't Poles speak to each other in Polish ? Why can't Chinsse speak Chinese ?

Britain's version of the MAGA morons.
