What has he done culturally that isn't British please?

Clown.



No nothing racist about your comment…
“ Why should Sunak understand British culture ? I don't claim to understand Indian culture”


Go and burn a cross in your hooded white cape.
Notice that I didn’t say you were a racist member of the KKK , I just mentioned cross burning and clothing.


We know what you are.

Must say Sunak does seem very British in his characteristics, he
even looks British
( that’s not to say he’s been an ideal pm )

Is this British culture thing about not doing enough staged photos with a pint in his hands? Is that the secret to showing off you really understand British culture?

Total bungler, colonel blimp, frank Spencer, citizen khan...

Wouldn’t be surprised if he went on who do you think you are
they discovered British ancestry from the days of empire in India

He hasn’t been good but him & Hunt did at least get a tiny bit of confidence back in the government after the Truss sh**show .

Really don’t know why he called this election now, he seemed very proud of his no smoking idea, could have at least got that over the line.

Tories may not get 100 seats, even an outside chance they won’t be 2nd party.
They would take 150 MPs as some fantastic “victory “.
The whole party is a mess which is a tad ironic as it was Downing St parties which started the decline.

He just appears quintessentially British

Even when he was standing in the rain
And when he came home early from the Dunkirk ceremony

I liked it when he stood in the rain

Liked him .

Heroically withstanding the elements like it's nothing sure is very British.

In Britain we don't say "Gosh, the weather is bloody awful today"

We say "We are not made of sugar!"

I might or might not have somewhat stolen that from the man truly connecting Britain and Germany more than any other besides myself.

He also shows time after time through his YouTube shorts that one can truly understand the culture of a country even if someone's family does not have many generations of lineage there. Him only being a migrant even who only came over as an adult.

No one with an ounce of human sympathy could fail to feel for Sunak in his BBC interview tonight.
All his allies have deserted. Where is Hunt? Mordaunt? Johnson?


The race for next leader is already on.

Full disclosure, I would love Nigel Farage to be next Conservative Party Leader because he never will be PM.

Or does it never cease to apply and all the English people that can only prove angles and saxon heritage, no celtic heritage, are indeed British by documentation only as well?

Mexico

Thanks your your delightful insight Lux.

And to think there will be people who believe you to be an uneducated racist bigot.

Silly me , I was looking forward to cheering on Saka & Bellingham next week. I was under the impression that England had a decent attacking team. Thanks for explaining it to me Lux, I had no idea that they were not English.

Southgate has made an error picking those just because they are good. He should have picked you .


Edy

An ethnic Brit for sure, of whatever stripe or combination. Strange point.

Mexico

Citizenship as distinct from ethnicity, one can be acquired, one is immutable. It’s not that difficult. Do I take it that should you, for example, have been born to White English parents in China then that would make you as “Chinese” as somebody whose ancestors had worked those lands for millennia?

Good luck answering honestly.

At what point does a black or brown person become ethnically British? Ever?

An ethnic Brit for sure, of whatever stripe or combination. Strange point.

It's not strange at all. The Celts are the real Britons. The angles and saxons were just invaders. Despite that, they are now ethnic Brits for you? That's good to know that your principles about Brit via documentation only eventually ceases to apply.

Lux
Keep digging that Aryan hole.

A relative worked out our family tree, apparently can trace it back to William the conqueror. Was impressed at first then found out it isn’t that unusual.


Obviously that means I’m French even though I have the paperwork to show I’m British.
I’m not even allowed to vote in the French elections.

Southgate is going to have a difficult time getting 11 players who are “really English”.

Edy - both examples would reasonably be considered ethnic Brits. Clearly. Originating or growing on the land.

Mexico - Again, citizenship, ethnicity, two distinct concepts. Answer my question honestly you coward.

What is "originating" on the land? Can't be born as that's the case for Sunak. Angles and Saxons only came over long after the celts. Why are they British?

by more than via documentation

@lux - At what point does a black or brown person become ethnically British? Ever?

@PorcupinePineapple

At what point does a white person become ethnically Nigerian? Ever?

I don't think Nigerian is its own ethnicity.

As isn't British.

lux - any chance of a straight answer?

If some randomers like Saxons can grow into it then, surely others can as well if someone is a man of principles instead of applying them arbitrarily.

umbrella terms  edy, plenty of subdivisions thereafter, obviously.

and yes, give it a millennia or so to build a society or civilization and your growing into observation could well be valid.


Mexico

Nice ad hom, right at the bottom of the stack. Your cognitive dissonance appears to be pushing you to the absolute brink.

So, coward, can you answer my question honestly or is your ontology, as I suspect, as weak as p***?




Porc, ethnicity is immutable, I’m not sure why this is such a struggle?

Ethnic Israeli? No idea, couldn’t care less.

Immutable means not unalterable according to the OED


So are Angles and Saxons not ethnically British then?



And why are you so keen on discussing ethnically Chinese or Nigerian, but not ethnically Israeli or maybe ethnically South African, or even ethnically American?



Genuinely interested to understand how this is supposed to work.

scrub the not from the first sentence obvs

Is there such a thing as ethnically Russian?

Sorry, I don't see how the 2nd sentence follows from the first? Angles and Saxons are reasonably seated underneath that umbrella term. Yes.


And why are you so keen on discussing ethnically Chinese or Nigerian, but not ethnically Israeli or maybe ethnically South African, or even ethnically American?

I'm not, they were random picks to highlight a clear distinction.

Oh, umbrella terms like "human"?

do you thing starmer will let new homes to be built on his nice little nest egg land in surrey? 
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-67058848?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=KA...

So there is such a thing as ethnically British. It is immutable but only up to a point. Got it.


Gotta have a system.


Ok, let's do ethically American. Where does the immutability line get drawn.


And while we're at it, what's the difference between ethnically Swedish and ethnically Danish? How would you be able to tell them apart?

ethnically*


ffs

media and tories working flat out to denigrate farage -the tories are scared of him ha ha!

Kkk lux.

A simple fact for you to consider…

Sunak is British.



It’s not that difficult.

I believe my ancestors came from the Rift valley.

So as well as being French , I’m also African.
No wonder Lux thinks I’m British.

Oh, umbrella terms like "human"?

You got it Edy, we're all the same and diversity is a strength, concurrently.

Please, we all know Saxons are.......special.

now the left are attacking farage with rocks the real socialists in action!!??

porc

An individual is the product of a distinct inter medley, for sure, but it would be taxonomically correct for that specific confluence to, reasonably, be situated underneath such a broader umbrella term.

Why bang on about someone being "ethnically British" instead of British citizen?

Like, some ethnically anglo-saxon or celtic drunk, violent football hooligan with a history of trying to enter countries with fake papers embodies Britainness and British values of upstanding moral and behaviour much less than a Sunak surely.

So how does ethnically American fit in your word salad?


What - ethnically - connects a native American to Donald Trump?

Kkk lux.

A simple fact for you to consider…

Sunak is British.


It’s not that difficult.



Coward can't answer a simple question, as to do so honestly would blow his entire worldview apart.

Pitiful.


And yes, you correctly point out that Sunak is indeed British - as conferred via documentation only.

And with that chestnut we turn full circle.

lux - what was your question to mex? Is it the one about ethnically Chinese?

Kkk

What f***king question haven’t I answered?



Sunak is British.
You are being racist.

What questions are you wittering on about?

America has been a culturally imperialist country,
at least until fairly recently ,, that was part of its remarkable success
There always has to be a dominant culture in any country

There is surely more to Britainness than documentation and ethnicity. There is speaking The King's English, there is liking your tea with milk, the is playing cricket, there is being perennial losers all sports that more than the commonwealth plays, there is being upstanding human and exemplary manners which is synonymous with Britainness abroad. Being British really goes so far beyond the two binary things of ethnicity (which will often be mixed) and citizenship.

As I said, Sunak exudes Britishness so much more than your average football hooligan, even if the hooligan ethnically has more anglo-saxon in him than Sunak.

It takes centuries of evolution in time and place
to be English,  it’s mainly evolution .. but the problem is
the modern world and mass immigration short circuits that
evolutionary process

That’s dangerous and needs very careful choices

Can somebody be ethnically American? Not a term i'm familiar with.  Ethnically European for sure, Native American Indian, for sure.

Lux

You are clearly a nasty racist who should be in prison.

I’ve already answered that Sunak is British.


Remember that we have already discussed that I’m a French African who is British.
Sunak is British.

He hasn’t just “been boor here” , like Boris in USA. Sunak has also gone to school here, worked here and paid a substantial amount of tax here. He is British.


I am more than happy that Sunak lives in this country, I have a bigger problem with uneducated racist knuckle dragging loons.

Should be in prison

Can you please tell me what the immutable ethnic characteristics are that connect someone whose family is from Beijing and someone from the Ngari Prefecture on the Indian border.



Is it simply that they happen to share being born in those man-made and completely changeable over time borders that make up what we currently know as China?

Genetics and culture that’s what distinguishes people
and countries

I mean, I'm not familiar with the term ethnically British. You get White British etc as ethnic terms from the census or other forms, but ethnically British? That's just not a things unless you visit some dodgy (for me) sites).

Is there a handy list of countries where you can be ethnically them?

And what is ethnically European? What are the immutable ethnic characteristics that connect someone from Reykjavik with someone from Ronda?

oh good lfc's entered the arena


Hello sir. Can you tell me what differentiates genetically someone who is Swedish from someone Danish? Just so we can be sure the ethnicity. Cheers.

Genetics and culture, that’s all
Sometimes London is more foreign to me than the deserts of Africa

Fantastic, thanks, shame it had absolutely nothing to do with the question i've repeatedly asked.

Well, at least that goes someway to explaining your incredible sense of entitlement and total disrespect.

The Swedes and Norwegians always make fun of the way the Danes speak.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-mOy8VUEBk

Indeed there has been research that the Danes don't really understand what even their fellow countrymen are saying. Which makes them develop the trait/ability to deduce from context much more than many other people.

Don’t be afraid , any sensible person knows try as they might
they cannot really be Chinese .

Mexico

I wonder, If I rocked up somewhere in Africa, 2nd, 3rd generation or whatever, and started lecturing those native to those lands on any aspect of what constitutes their ethnicity, or indeed any aspect of their governance,  would that be considered disrespectful?

Of course everything is still evolving
The process hasn’t stopped just because we the English
think we’re perfect

We got close, as near as damn it

pp

A point i've made previously, but all you really need do is acknowledge that outside the last 130 years or so most people never strayed more than 20 or 30 miles from their home.

it's inevitable that genetic clustering will have occurred.


Interesting, well worth a look...

There is a very good chance you are French African if you claim to be British. Does that explain your incredible sense of entitlement and total disrespect?

I believe my ancestors came from the Rift valley .


I have given you far more respect than an uneducated knuckle dragging racist should expect.

Sunak has given far more to this country than you, yet you wet your pants crying that he isn’t really British.

So that study would have the immutable limit at four grandparents being born within 50 miles of each other. Interesting.

Lol

Yep just look at USA in 1890, everybody there was born locally as were their parents and grandparents.

...and that, rather than there being an immutable British ethnicity, being British means being any kind of mix of European heritage.

Mexico

Yep just look at USA in 1890, everybody there was born locally as were their parents and grandparents.

Perhaps an outlier isn't representative of the mean?

porc

at no point has an immutable British ethnicity been claimed by anyone on this thread other than you, an umbrella term for the umpteenth time.

Now the scum are attacking Farage again

Lol lux

Spend hours posting racist nonsense then bursts into tears when somebody calls you out for being a racist.

Did you get hat triangle from your kkk lodge?


Oh poor little lux, always the victim….

I hope you are not suggesting that kkk was using “ad hominem” “name-calling “?

Well, he did choose to refer to me as a ponce when he felt his belief bubble was being threatened. I think that does qualify.

That is really poor form Edy.

I very much doubt Sunak would do that. Then again Sunak is British, he was born here, educated here, works & pays tax here.

If Sunak unfathomably let something like that slip, he would without a doubt be quick to apologise. That's the British way. When some foreign sportsman says a bad word that is aired during the Wimbledon broadcast, the hosts and commentators always apologise enthusiastically for the next ten minutes.

Lux might potentially be anglo-saxon (in reality probably with lots else mixed in), but very British behave he does not apart from occasionally mixing up its and it's.

porc

So do you agree that Sunak falls under this umbrella. If not, why not?

I don't think it is very British to cower on your knees on an open top double decker bus when someone is throwing stuff at you 20 yards away. I might remind Frenchie Farage when on tour a younger Prince Charles stood up straight while a protester charged at him with what turned out to be only a startling pistol.

It is not British to hide Mr Farage!

Boris Johnson begs to differ there, Whisperingdeath. Or wait....does Boris even count as British via more than documentation, lux?)

Is Doris a Captain Kirk or a Septic Tank?

One thing he ain't is Churchillian.

Ethnicity is not the issue. Culture and values are and the traditional UK values are nearly all gone.

Richie’s culture is homogenously British ruling class

Fcek the poor!
