There are your genes and then there is your culture and self identity. A person's ethnicity is a combination of those. Your genes, who brings you up and your reaction to that environment is all encompassing. I would end birth citizenship, I would make it very much attached to allegiance in some form. This country is paying a very high price for allowing dual loyalties. Edited by Stirlingsays (17 Nov 2019 4.42am)

At some stage you have to say they are British. If not all you Anglo-Saxons would be classed as immigrants and therefore virtually all crime in England would be down to immigrants Edited by johnno42000 (17 Nov 2019 12.25pm)

There's a huge amount that can be written about all this but then again....lets not flog a dead horse...so to speak. I've flogged so many horses on this topic that I'm worried about a visit from the RSPCA.

Something must have changed because, when I was growing up, apart from my mates parents/grand parents, I never heard anyone say that (40+ years ago). Sometimes I'd hear their parents say they missed things (the sun, proper ginger beer etc).

You don't seem to grasp the reality that what landmass you are born on does not in itself necessarily alter your culture, genes, behaviour or upbringing. Given that. Arguing about labels is beside the point.

Immigration policies that have ultimately led to higher crime and murder rates are....in my book criminally idealistic and reek of societal neglect.....because those that made them didn't have to live with them.

Given that. Arguing about labels is beside the point. The point was raised regarding immigrants. IMO these people aren't immigrants so you can't say, if they commit a knife crime, that immigrants did it.
