I've always been honest about my opinions. I've stated them often on here.

As to this thing about genetics.....Yes, there is an 'anglo saxon' nature to the long term inhabitants of the islands (though anglo saxon is a label) and yes skin colour is an aspect of that.....but it's only one aspect. Much as being a long term inhabitant of Africa means you are black.

Yes, I do think that being English means that you should be the majority in England. Without a majority allegiance to England then England will no longer be English.....it's not that complicated.

However, I have never stated nor do I believe that skin colour determines whether you can be English. There is a cultural aspect to it. Ultimately I agree with the idea that if you are genuine about becoming a nationality that you can transcend genetics rather easily....Look at Frank Bruno for example.....Genetics is one aspect of a person, not the whole.

However the reality is that the majority of people are loyal to the place of their birth or heritage and with mass immigration that creates a real and present danger for the hegemony of the English in their own country.

A battle...that statistically has already been lost.

William the First thought that he was entitled to the English crown. He was very lucky that Harold had to march the length of Britain after seeing off Harald Hardrada before they met.
I'm sure that the English weren't so welcoming of 'European' rule then as some fools are today.

Sadly it seems that there are always some scheming Europeans that want our isles for there own ends.

Those individuals do not need to become a nationality. They are English. Frank Bruno did not become English on account of his attitudes towards his country, he is English because he was born here and has lived his entire life here. There is this air of non white people needing to put in some kind of special effort for it to become their country. You don't get additional points for having certain genes. You're born on a patch of land and you do your best to make a good life.

I agree with your words on immigration though yes as it stands to reason in that sitiation.

So you think that immigrants should make no effort to integrate into society and adopt English traditions?

Yes, Frank Bruno is English with Jamaican heritage.

However, the people who most oppose this idea of being English are most commonly those born here but who have non European heritage. The most common designation is calling themselves British....which has become a catch all....But you are right, if you are born in England you are English.

Bruno isn't one of those people who have a problem with seeing themselves as English....indeed he's a rare example of a black Tory, he's an old school in lots of ways and isn't your typical case.

The English nationality is in genuine threat in England......not in my lifetime but in my children's....and the English have a right to being the hegemony in their own land.

I never use to concern myself with my identity, because I never felt I needed to.....but as an old git I see what's coming down the line for my children and I'm not happy about it.

Just feel free to admit you are Gussett.

If you think that people don't associate and have mutual interests based on so called race, then you are a loon.
You don't like the fact that I point this out? Tough luck.
