I am not sure whether having a “protected identity” really qualifies but some would no doubt think so, and if it makes them happy, why not?

Wisbech declared himself English ie Anglo Saxon. And yet Cornwall is Celtic. They became majority English-speaking there only recently. Only about a thousand years after the rest of Ingerland.

Cornwall spoke Cornish up until the time of mad King George.

Today, is a Cornishman also an Englishman ? maybe, but they hate wealthy londoners buying holiday homes there. Same as the Bretons hate Parisians.

No, that’s the legal position in France as I understand it. Not the emotional one.

Only the emotional one has any relevance to the situation in the UK.

I am 100% English.
.
If by your twisted logic I am a quarter French, what is King Charles? Will you start advocating for his abdication and begin the search for his replacement with someone with pure English DNA, after first determining what that is exactly? How far back will you go and why?

I know you have a problem accepting that Northern Europeans are White. You also seem to have a problem people who are White and like it.

A bit sad really.

So your self loathing aside, there is no doubt that the question of Englishness becomes more complex when you introduce people of mixed race or nationality.

Cutting through all your bulls***, the simple fact is that the vast majority of people in Britain can trace their heritage back through thousands of years. Obviously, when Europe was one landmass, people could wander across it. Since that time our genetic make up has been changed, in small degrees by European invasions.
No significant change has occurred for 1500 years and that was relatively small. That is, until the last 30 years.

Now if you want to simply be perceived as 'English' you need to speak English, adopt English customs and culture, support English sports teams, refer to yourself as an Englishman, not adhere to religions or behaviour that is anti English or runs counter to our Christian based values.

Your ethnicity is not necessarily a factor, but it helps to be recognised as English if you look like an Englishman.

Some well known examples were not Northern European but were perceived as English. Some people not born in England have been considered English by parentage.

In the end, most English want to preserve the England they had and reject the schisms, backward alien religions, the crime, the violence and the endless nonsense about racial etiquette that mass immigration has brought us.

That is all far more significant than squabbling over what English means.

Everyone knows he's a good bit German. So what?

Everyone now knows you are a quarter French.

I'm 6% Scottish genetically speaking, if it makes you feel better. I better not mention the 3% Norwegian, Irish and Welsh.

I hardly think that being a bit German is grounds for abdication. On that basis, no King or Queen in history would be legitimate.

Sleep well. Don't wear the onions around your neck in bed.

Save them for a morning bike ride in your stripy jumper and beret when you get the bread.

That’s an entirely different argument which has already been discussed ad nauseam. I won’t get into it again.

As was said elsewhere, “wrong thread”. Post it elsewhere. I won’t respond.
