Why do immigrants pretend to be English?

[internetcynic]

The people go further back than the unified nation, which itself has existed for over 1000 years. You are now getting annoying.

Indeed. My family came over in the Norman Invasion, some of us have been here since day one. Before that we orginated from Frankish nobility and the Merovingian line, taking us back to Dagobert in 600 AD.

Oh and anyone who claims they can trace there ancestors in this country before 1066 is making it up.

I saw for myself firsthand the silliness between Serb/Croat rivalry when two World Cups ago, a Serb (born in this country) drew Croatia in the office sweepstake.

Having said that, the reason why NATO bombed the hell out of Serbia, was because they wouldn't allow a Rothschild controlled Central Bank in their country.

As for Kosovo, I call Israel a gangster state but when it comes to low-level gangsterism, Kosovo takes the biscuit. It is always been a Rothschild-controlled British strategy to set up little fortress states round the world to protect their global commercial interests and as a base to threaten countries not under their control eg Hong Kong, Kuwait, Czechoslovakia, Israel and now Kosovo.

Hail Serbia and the Serbian people !

as for op - if the immigrants didn't call themselves English they'd be deported. Luckily for them, most of the indegenous population are prepared to accept them as being English providing they don't cuckoo too loudly.



The Common Cuckoo is a brood parasite; it lays its eggs in the nests of other birds. At the appropriate moment, the hen cuckoo flies down to the host's nest, pushes one egg out, lays an egg and flies off. The whole process takes about 10 seconds. A female may visit up to 50 nests during a breeding season. Common Cuckoos first breed at two years old.

Being of solid Welsh extraction, my ancestors were on these islands well before the English were established with Hengist and Horsa.

My Sis is married to an extremely proud Oz. He claims not to have one drop of British blood in his veins – his Dad's Irish and his mother was Italian. So I guess your nationality and loyalties are where your heart lies...

If I said I was an extremely proud Englishman without a drop of Asian or African blood in me I'd be called a racist/fascist/white supremacist.

No, you wouldn't. You think you would and so you are afraid to say it. It is a perfectly rational think to state.

One's roots are personal.

Even if you are of 'solid Welsh' extraction it doesnt ensure that you aren't also part Anglo Saxon, that there isnt some admix along the line - same with intercynic its likely his Norman ancestors interbred with native English who were of Anglo Saxon and/or Brittanno Celtic descent.
The ethnic British from all four corners are intermingled.

Serbia should not be allowed into the European Union and Serbs should not be allowed to settle in Britain.

I don't care too much for the EU and hope Britons do decide to vote one day to leave it, nonetheless I would rather have Serbia as a member than Turkey. "harbour war criminals"- how much longer will the persecution of the Serbian people continue? How many more 'war criminals' will die of boredom in these 'world/European courts'? Is it not time to move on?

Who would Tommy Robinson sympathise with if England invaded the Republic of Ireland to restore the pre-1922 borders.

Let's hope the new Kingdom of England would never again involve itself in the affairs of Ireland as demonstrated by 800 years of interference. It is now for the people's of Ireland - north & south to decide. Perhaps that Robinson/Yakov/Lennon chap could be supported to re-locate to Glasgow or Belfast, England has had enough of sectarian bigotry and the like
