He was born in Somalia to Somalian parents.

He might "officially" be British but he isn't really.

None of which bothers me.

Tremendous athlete,fantastic achievement.

Half the England cricket team are not English either.  Gone are the days where you couldnt choose your country.

It was quite funny to hear Brendan Foster say Mo was up against the might of Africa.

Mo's father is actually English, and the women don't count in Somalia, so really that's that...

There is a very big difference between an athlete who transfers allegiance after competing for another country and a kid who arrives here and spends his childhood at a British school. Mo is British and is proud to be so.

The "who do you think you are" programme showed that very few people who feel that they are British can trace that back for more than 3 generations. Less than half of the population of Brazil have ancestors who were there in 1940. So what?

Some people just can't help themselves can they?

Unless it's a Gold medal, won by a male, displaying Corinthian values that makes Chariots of Fire look like the Hansie Cronjie Guide to Ethics, who can trace his Anglo-Saxon lineage back 10 centuries then it doesn't count.

Oh, and if they do get through the Venn Diagram, then it's got to be in a sport that doesn't involve sitting down, because - ho, ho, ho and if I've heard it once i've heard it a thousand times - that's all us Brits are good at.

mmmmmm  Venn Diagrams, surely the most overtly sexy form of scientific aggregation, especially that right horny section in the epicentre.
