I'm begging someone to ask Badenoch about this. I suspect her desperation to stay aligned with the far-right Maga types might genuinely lead to her agreeing that she's not truly British.

Does Trump know about this ?
He used Pakistan citizenship as an example
However, when in the country I spend less time in I don´t give too many opinions, don´t judge, unless I am asked which gives me more freedom.
Joking. They won't have press there apart from GBNews.
I wish for my MP Sir Alan Haselhurst to return
Saw this about white maga how quickly they turned on non white maga when vp trump wanted to bring white south Africans to the US. White maga wanted to swap white 🇿🇦 for black 🇺🇸. Murray's target audience in the uk, would do the same.
Really not sure that right now, this is safe or sensible.
Farage and his rebadged, still racist Reform Party are Trump/ Musk cheerleaders and as such, definitely the enemy within.
Not this America.
Immigrants seem to feel more pride in their country.
Claiming a nationality is not claiming to have been a part of their history. I know all the Boomers think they fought the Nazis for some reason but I am aware as a many generation native that I wasn't actually at Dunkirk.

They are not British.
Stoking genuine nationalism amongst the plebs is just a means to an end. It keeps us from turning on them.
What does 'truly British' mean to someone in Belfast, or Derry, or Glasgow, or Newcastle, or Liverpool, or London, or Cardiff, or Clacton?
If you ask me to expand, Northumbrian, British, European, in that order.
Family history is a hobby - I know we've been in Britain for 500-1000 years.
I'm not more British than any other citizen, burn here or not.
"Sorry Douglas, you're only allowed to be one thing!"
They don’t work for us. In any sense.
I’ll always be a second class citizen in the eyes of many. In fact, I’m already excluded from quite a few ‘government jobs’ because I’m not British (no problem) but I’d also be excluded because ‘not British born’.
Presumably if one person in the family is not "pure" enough, that becomes a problem for them.
Hypernormalisation everywhere.
Says more about them than him
"Ahmed: “Growing up in England, England was my first team, but I do really like the Pakistan team and I used to watch them a lot. It’s my second home. "

Surely she would be top of the list for the "not really British" brigade.
[Continues culture war nonsense]
It would be an interesting play in the USA. All the non-Indians are definitely descended from immigrants… an inconvenient truth
Please forgive me for getting that wrong… but, yes, you’re making my point that this whole thing where some random group of latecomers asserts “native” rights is just insane.
Anyone?
Vance has cited him, Peter Thiel is a sponsor.
Musk appears to be putting his plans into action.
Yarvin is a very odd techno-monarchist, one of the founders of the neoreactionaries
"...education is a purely parental responsibility. Young people will learn whatever their parents choose to teach them, or have them taught, or expose them to. Official involvement in this process [...] is unthinkable."

Priti Patel.
Suella B. I could go on.
But then you look at Douglas Murray and think “This is an example of being ‘truly British’? Mmmm. NOT an enviable state”.
I am a Dubliner, living in Sligo for about 20 yrs. My pal, also a Dub, has been here 40+.
We’re still classed as “Blow-ins”.
And for the white racists, they would also be the top of their hit list - like Jews were for Hitler (But they would get to the Patels eventually)
Do they "really feel English"...
A short sighted take at best, veiled racism at worst.
