No wonder the place is such a hole:conf:

Joanna Lumley and Cliff Richard were born abroad. Go back far enough and we're all immigrants.

what you say is true in essence

but that is not really the point here. it is about a swathe of the population not being attached to an area or having any community identity. Its about ghettos in poor areas where people hark back to their country of origin (like East London). Its about ridiculous LOndon schools where English is not the first language and in a class of 24 there are 16 diff mother tongues.

I was born abroad but I'm English. We're talking about national and racial identity here, not just geography and well you know it. Harry Webb and I have a birth country in common, but we're both as English as roast beef and yorkshire pud.

Racial identity does not define your nationality

The Daily Mail? Really?
