I don't really know to be honest but having spent the Easter fortnight in Lanzarote the restaurants were doing a roaring trade in full English breakfasts. I'm not sure whether that means that Brits abroad like to eat British food as we had a full English twice but never eat that sort of thing at home.

I did smile when I spotted your reference to "our generation" as I have a sneaking suspicion that I am quite a bit older than you

I don't know you tell me.

To help you out... I live in Spain and speak Spanish...so, that's one person.

Google is your friend today? Mine is personal knowledge.

The Cebu Mosque is the place I remember best. It is a very big and obvious building and I have passed it many times. As it was always busy on every day of the week and I was more concerned about getting through the very heavy traffic, I cannot say I particularly noticed whether Fridays were exceptional.

Satisfied, or do you still want to continue making daft "points"?

Well, I would not have had them here in the first place and I would have been right.

I understand that is your view but we did and now we have to deal with what we have, as you have recognised.

Given that the folly of our government's policy is history, I have already said that I would deport second generation immigrants if they commit a serious crime. The current system might not easily allow for that but as I have said, It would have to be part of the agreement with any country from which immigrants arrive or they would not be permitted to settle here.

I don't claim to be an expert on these matters but am pretty sure that any second generation immigrant is automatically a British citizen and would have no automatic legal connection to another. Cultural connections of course. I don't think we could legislate to change that and force another country to take in someone we decided we don't want, just because their parents were born there. It's individuals who make visa applications, and their home country are not involved, so trying to introduce new agreements looks to me to be a cul de sac.

As the situation stands I would give them 30 days to leave Britain and revoke their citizenship. Just because you call yourself British and have a British passport or are born in Britain, it does not mean that anyone else sees you as British.

How people see other people does not affect their legal status. You cannot wish things away just because you don't like them.

I could move to Africa and have sons and they would not be African to other Africans, especially if they grew up and started raping the local girls.

If they were born in an African country and their parents wanted to register their birth there then I think they would indeed be citizens of that country, despite what anyone else might think. I do believe though that British parents can opt to register the birth in the UK and preserve their British citizenship, but I might be wrong about that. How you are seen by others is not the same as how the law sees you.

Ah Trump!
The amount of times you mention him could also be known as chirping.

Trump's impact on energising those who hold his type of views is a very unfortunate part of today's political scene. When detected it needs to be identified. I trust that it will fade away just as quickly as it arose. There are some straws in the wind to that effect already.

Supposed lack not knowledge and the constant need to explain yourself is a trait expected of you.

I only ever explain when people either misrepresent or misunderstand me. False accusations demand a rebuttal in the age of Trump.

Look! Be a man and Just fess up that you didn't know about Friday prayers.

I think you need to go right back to the original remark which had nothing whatsoever to do with prayers, on a Friday or any other day of the week. It was a simple remark that the place that is known locally as "the Mosque", but which turns out to actually be a community centre, seemed busy on a Saturday. My memory might be faulty, or it might have been a Saturday for non prayer reasons, I don't know and nor do you. If anyone asked me which is the Muslim day of prayer then, after some thought, I could have told you. Just as I know Sunday is for Christians and Saturday for Jews. It's not something I think, or care, about and your obsession in trying to score points over a non event is making you look very silly.

Someone pulled you up on it and your response was "Probably" most people would have responded "oh yes of course I forgot" or something on those lines fact! need I say more? Knowing you I'd say yes.

No-body "pulled me up"! Some people attempted to score cheap points and I refused to let them, by stating the facts as I recalled them.

You don't know me. You just make false assumptions based on your own prejudices.
