This is obviously coming from a nasty place, but I wish we stopped thinking of nationalities in this way. I lived in different countries and they all made me the person I am today. What does it even mean "to be truly British"? It's an impossible question to answer.

happy weekend to everyone, especially my payroll who messed up my payslip bringing down my salary to a third of what it should be (not even enough to pay rent), got the wrong figure for pension, zeroed my NI contribution and more.
