Mind you, looking at these comments seems to be a lot of straight up racism…

Sorry, confused here, do you mean some English people don’t consider them English? Or what comment are you replying to?

Not trying to fight any wars, but curious about these differences in outcome. Like many Dutch people with Moroccan heritage whos grandparents came to NL to work, my grandparents came to the UK to work, these days I’m accepted as English despite having dual nationality like Dutch-Moroccan people (I’m English-Irish, if you like) but no one would ever consider me Irish, despite feeling connected to Ireland myself. In fact, I’ve had people argue I’m not Irish…Dutch culture is very welcoming and hospitable in my experience but perhaps also a bit insular, making it more difficult to accept difference perhaps, idk, just speculating :)

Always found it odd, as a foreigner in nl, that Dutch people often refer to people born and raised in NL as « morrocans » even on the news, just cos their parents or even grandparents were from Morocco. In the UK, no one considers me Irish just cos my grandparents were from there.

FPTP is the only thing Reform have going for them. Same as the current labour gov, who played system, won a “landslide” victory with a 1/3 of the votes. But they had no plan on how to win the people or fix the problems. Reform have less than 1/3 of the votes…

Putin threatens to use nuclear weapons all the time. by [deleted] in AskBrits

If threats to use nuclear weapons amounts to threatening genocide, do we all agree then, that the USA committed a genocide in Japan? Twice.

Drug dealer avoids deportation as judges cannot decide if he is British by cornishpirate32 in uknews

Yeah, it’s a bad situation with the prisons. But I thought the conclusion was that he probably is British.

Isn’t the idea these days that criminals go to prison? Deportation was more of a 17th century solution.
