Kind of stupid though, if your parents were abroad when you were born then came back the following week, does that make you not British?
It’s that subjective it’s a little pointless.
I wonder what the crossover is with people who voted for a foreign born PM in 2019 to get Brexit done?
Really strange that this is rising in an environment where large parts of the media are promoting borderline racist policy and politicians. I wonder why it’s happening.
In case anyone was wondering why this is suddenly a thing, people seem to have just worked out that if you replace ‘race’ with ‘culture’ you can whine about anything and say all the quiet parts out loud.
There are people who’ve been here for decades who don’t speak or read English, they stay in their monoculture that isn’t British and live a life that mimics their society back home.
What does it even mean to be British if it’s nothing more than a geo-tag to say you existed here for a little while and that’s all.
Some are born British, some achieve Britishness and some have Britishness thrust upon them.
(The last category is generally people who win a sporting event and are proudly hailed as British by the tabloids for the first time.)
There is a shift occurring it seems and this is just the tip of the iceberg. I’ve been seeing a big rise online in ethnonationalists that are not at all afraid of espousing their views, especially in Gen Z

Cool, let’s deport the entire Royal Family. They are french after all.
Also, I think Ireland might have an opinion on this matter that would get us all in Trouble.

So Farage is being deported as he is of immigrant descent?
Na, what they mean is “born white”
We all know this
I was born in Northern Ireland and can choose to be British or Irish. I now choose to be Irish if anyone asks.
Why do they try to mask what they actually mean? They don’t want “FoRiNs” or “BrOwNs” in Britain. I grew up in backwards northern England, I certainly remember the anti Irish sentiment and abuse myself and family received very well. I can’t imagine what it’s like for non white people growing up there now that the inbreds are emboldened in their racist, xenophobic views.
Do you think these racists spend the week trying to kick people out the country then settle down at the weekend to watch football with all our homegrown white players?

It seems a bit of a weird question to me. You’re British if you have citizenship, as far as I’m concerned, or arguably if you don’t have citizenship but you ‘feel British.’ The ‘shared values’ thing is just silly – I’m sure plenty of Germans (for example) have similar values to a lot of British people, but they’re still German.
That’s bullshit you literally can’t help where you were born and in my opinion as long as you have at least one British parent prior to your birth you would automatically be British, end of story
The fact the top comments here are the idiotic…
>interesting, didn’t realise ****insert famous person born to life-long British parents who happened to be abroad at the time of their birth**** isn’t actually British
are why this rhetoric is surging. You’re purposefully missing the point and then getting mad when the only people willing to have the conversation are being listened to.
If I get a blood transfusion from an Anglo Saxon, do I become British? If not, does DNA play a role, how many generations have to pass for someone to be British? I would like to know how these things are defined.
Asking for a friend.
Isnt it more a reaction to people’s perception that the system is being exploited and comes with various loopholes?
Was literally Hitlers argument in mein kampf that being born in Germany doesn’t make you German or confer citizenship.
The Brits of al people going this way is hilarious. They just had their annual month long poppy death cult nonsense and they’ll do it again next year and then come out with this, with no self awareness whatsoever.
Being English isn’t a skin suit, it means something.
I think there should be a mandatory English test for everyone
I was born in Germany on a British army base. I wonder where I would fit in according to these people.
I was born to Irish parents in London in the 80s. I grew up being told I wasn’t English, and that I should go back to Ireland with the rest of my “terrorist” family. I always felt more Irish than English, but, as I grew up, the same racists would turn around and say that I’m not Irish, I’m English. The key thing I learnt is that you can’t base your experiences on idiots who want to control how you experience your life. If you identify as British, then that’s great, if you don’t, that’s fine too. It’s no one’s life but yours
