@AnbAntje Eg one European flight lands, obvious everyone in queue was on it, standing there as a family with UK passports at UK Border Control. ‘Where are you flying from? What were you doing there? Why are you coming back?’ I live here, dudes. I’m British. But I’m beginning to wonder.

@More_Lefty_Lies @FraserNelson Yes, but as an analogy, nobody asks you to find 50 yrs paperwork to prove your entire driving and insurance records, suddenly makes you poney up £65 to sit your driving test again, and threatens to deport you if the Gvt makes a paperwork error. That’s where this is heading.

@outsider63 @cliodiaspora The Anglo-Saxons all but wiped out the indigenous population in the British Isles so if you’re ‘pure’ British you’re likely to be genetically German speaking a Germanic tongue, and writing a Norman French one as a consequence of the later invasion. But do carry on with your rant.

@acwilsonwriter @PhilipArdagh I think we should bring that particular measure into my workplace. It would be hilarious seeing a load of professors doing that at once. Like a nerdy Teacup ride at the fair. I mean, I would pay good money to watch that.
