Thread: Is Nick Clegg English?

Hybrid View

  1. #1

    Default Is Nick Clegg English?

    If a man was 3/4 Nigerian + 1/4 English, there is no way he would be perceived to be English, yet why is Nick Clegg who is also only 1/4 English regarded as being a English as Fish and Chips?

    Why would a part Nigerian man not be considered English, if he was born and or raised here?

    Because a Dog born in a stable, isn't a Horse.

    Er, youve answered your own question - because he is 'part Nigerian' part English hence not fully English!

    The same reason that Count Nikolai Dmitrievich Tolstoy-Miloslavsky is thought to be Russian despite 3 English grandparents.

    I dont think he is considered so.
    However its obvious that Dutch ancestry because genetically its very close to British, can be assimilated pretty quickly. Shall we say he can pass himself off as English?

    Oh dear, I fear treading further into this revolting fray will only lead to rancour. I'll leave you to your disgusting interpretation of what makes a pure blood English person.

    Oh, it's a retreat alright, but not for the moronic reason you ascribe. Let's say, if I were walking in the countryside and I came across a field full of cow ****, I'd probably beat a retreat unless I had been bothered to put on the appropriate footwear for the occasion.
