This is the logical conclusion to her deranged, racist politics and the open sewer of our current discourse. A race now, I guess, for the first brown Tory to deport themselves to a country they don't know.

Or indeed ‘govern’ England! There was a good article on bylines a few years ago re Brexit explaining why some immigrants are surprisingly anti immigration/anti foreigner. It’s like they drink too much nationalism koolaid
Well she doesn’t do that either. None of them do. Push them for specifics on this - or the new line of “Judeo-Christian values” - and they can’t articulate the thing they say is in imminent danger.
Stella Braverman will never cotton on to the fact that the very people she wants to cosy up to hate her with a passion and would have her out of UK in a second if they could......
I'm English but absolutely not racist of a xenophobe. Chatting pure that one. I have said for some time that her and Priti Patel have this twisted idea of what it is to be English. Look look yes I am from a different culture and background but look how conservative English I am. Bizarre pair.
On that basis, with a Belgian mother and a French Canadian father, neither will I, despite having been born here 60+ years ago. Braverman would have me packed off to Rwanda in no time.
The whole point of the Conservative Party has always been to do this stuff cynically. For there to be senior Tory MPs who *actually believe it* - *that* is unEnglish.
Refers to her Kenyan/Indian/Mauritian parents being granted British citizenship, and her ability to live and work in France for 2 years as a British citizen. A humane approach to immigration and an outward looking European identity: English/British traits that she and her ilk sought to destroy.
Every time I think they’re beyond satire, there they are with something so poorly thought out that the only reasonable thought is “well, they are now.”
Is she saying that she deserves the racism and hate directed at her? That she understands it because she agrees she can’t ever be fully English? That racism and xenophobia are acceptable because she believes there is truth in it? How sad, that she thinks pandering to bigots is a virtue.
1/ Such a weird point of view Braverman has. Race and nationhood are artificial constructs. I can only speak for myself. I identify primarily as human, from Earth. I was born in Canada. Relocated to the UK aged 26 in 1987. My wife is ethnic Chinese born in Vietnam.
Love this. I always say are you a good Human? Do you look after fellow humans? If yes you'll definitely for me. Race, colour, gender don't give two hoots.
Love this . My husband and I are both genetic and cultural mongrels. But we are white appearing and speak RP english . We are less British or English than many black/ brown British people born and raised here yet are treated as fully 'English' - why does skin matter more than brain/ heart ?
Re paperwork -we both chose to carry only British passports pre EU . Two repeats were redundant. Now I have three - British , an EU and a non EU . Has that changed my 'Englishness' even though it's imposed from the outside ?
Well, I'm Welsh, I'll certainly never be 'truly English'. I imagine my Scottish friends have much the same feeling. All hinges on the (English) idea of England = Britain, primitive colonialism.
There is no such thing as Englishness. People are people, the same the world over, with the same hopes, fears & aspirations. There is, however, a rising tide of right-wing hate, bigotry & racism, which must be challenged, confronted & defeated.
Being a black person doesn't exempt her from being a racist. Before anything else or nationality, she always strikes me as a new-racist. One who wants to exclude others , but expects to be included herself.
It'll end in disappointment...for her, not us.
Oh, and she's not alone
Of course, after the then Home Secretary, Sajid Javid's decision regarding Shamima Begum, Braverman (and also the leader of HM's opposition) can now be stripped of their British citizenship.
Not sure what she is trying to prove here, really. Who is she trying to appeal to that you would undermine who you are as a person, let alone a politician.
And if she doesn't truly see herself as English, how does she know how to define it?
English has never really been defined because most of the ruling class wouldn’t be English- Norman, Dutch, Scots, German. Apart from the Scots, illegal boat people. If you support the England football team that makes you English. Oh! That’s Reform and the Tories out then.
They sent her back.
I believe the missive stated; ‘Please send us another one as this one is broken and not very bright. Very good at photocopying though’
She’s such a self-hating clown. Now they’re saying this, next they’ll say that they aren’t even British (which some weirdos on the internet already say).
Extraordinary…this illustrates wonderful the mental and moral gymnastics that people get into once they start their journey into the illogical and morally bankrupt into racism….!
If you come from any minority - race, gender, social, religious, economic, cultural, origin - and praise to be a Tory, you're one (or more than) these:
- an idiot
- a selfish traitor
- a prick moron
- a liar
- a criminal

Maybe it's something to do with having a nanny or not?
On a related note, maybe Rishi will now buy a 'gold card' to the USA?
Like a sort of Rorschach test for racism.
A “Rorscism test” if you will.
A Frenchman who hated England and barely set foot in the place.

You would reach more people, when you add a good description into the Alt-text field.
That is pretty easy, especially, when your image just contain text.
This way, you support visually impaired people and everyone else, who rely on a good filled Alt-text.

She also doesn't appear to have studied her own ethnic heritage very well at all.
Kind of woman my mother, rest her soul, a Mauritian Brit, would've bitch slapped without a second thought.
And if she doesn't truly see herself as English, how does she know how to define it?
I'm so confused. I would feel sorry for her, but given her past policies I really don't.
Giving her the opportunity she craves to become an attention-seeking martyr on the Reform backbench.
