I think for someone to say they are purely this or that they have really have to have lived there during their formative years....Or have committed to it for at least several....with exceptions....some people need to live somewhere due to climate medical needs ete ete. People respect commitment. When Tyson Fury sometimes calls himself Irish I think some had a right to smirk and call him a plastic paddy. He's never lived there...Really he's talking about his heritage....But he is what he commits to. A very fair post. My connection to Scotland has always been strong through family and regular visits and to see where it all started for the ancestors. Pretty grim, if i'm honest where that aspect is concerned. Genuinely supporting Scotland as a young kid in those far off days when we actually qualified for a World Cup. Felt really rotten in '74. No defeats and still eliminated in round one. Palace also got relegated. Just something I was born into. Not brainwashed or owt. Apart from Andy bloody Stewart on the LP every effin' weekend. My dad was no Scottish nationalist but he did love to take the mick out of the sassenachs every now and then but in good humour. Travelling through the place properly though I can't help but feel a sense of pride that half of me is Scottish. It is just so beautiful with stunning scenery and have always felt welcome and comfortable up there.

Yup,"love" of country has been hijacked by the right...and its a "I don't like anyone else" kind of nationalism. The reason St George's day is not a big deal is because most of us are comfortable in our combination Englishness and Britishness and don't need to get OTT and excessive about it..

Originally posted by Jimenez You were born in Croydon Kermit you are English albeit with a Scottish father Nope, his nationality British. Whether we agree or not, England is a part of the Union, with Wales and Scotland, and defines a single nationality between those nations (its a bit more complex than that as there are different types of British citizenship entitlement for overseas territories). We can identify as English, but like Welsh and Scottish, our nationality is British. If one or more of your parents are British citizens, irrespective of where you are born, you are automatically entitled to apply for British citizenship "One Nation Under God, has turned into One Nation Under the Influence of One Drug" [Link]
