To be truly British, I would suggest it should be a prerequisite to have at least one great grandparent who was born here.:smile:

If you go back to great grandparents you will find that at least 50% of the population is not truly British in yours and Les's eyes :smile:

That may be true or not, but you only have to look back to the 2nd World War to see how 'British' we were then. Imagine if we had a war now where it was compulsory to serve, how many people would say "it's not my country I'm not fighting for you" :yikes:

More so if it was a Muslim v Christian war which I think may happen one day - we would be destroyed from within :mad:

Interesting piece from Norman Lamont on this study here :-

NORMAN LAMONT: The people have spoken on mass immigration. So will the political class hear them?

Joe & Andy won't like this true statement :biggrin: :-

The phenomenon of mass immigration really began when Labour took power in 1997. Due to the relaxation of immigration policy, net migration shot up five-fold from its previous level; a change that accelerated even further with the accession of a host of former Communist Eastern European nations to the EU.

Yeah.

A lot would be perfectly happy to go off to Syria to kill innocent people though, (a country they'd have to look up on a map), plant bombs here amongst us, demonstrate against our soldiers...and cheer on the Pakistani cricket team, etc. :NoNo:

They are British when it's financially rewarding.

One only has to look at the current situation in Iraq and Ukraine to witness the folly of 'social engineering'. The old Yugoslavia too....and many more.
