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:

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.
