No I meant Gina Miller.
So how exactly is she a foreigner?
She is British.
You might think so - I don't.
It isn't a question of what anyone thinks - it is a fact.
What isn't clear is why you think she is a foreigner.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
...a lot of people are thinking: 'Hang on a minute, she wasn't even born in this country."
Gina's response was calm but very effective: "I was actually born British because I was born in British Guyana. It became independent after my birth so I was born British.
"I've been in the UK now for over 41 years.
"I am British, I have a British passport, my children are British, my husband is British, I have every right to bring an action as a British citizen."
Colin still insisted that lots of people would have a problem with Gina bringing the case "because she wasn't born in this country" and this time it was Clive's turn to put Colin on the spot.
"Would it count if it was the Falklands?"
So given that she was born in a British Overseas Territory (as you made clear in your post) and has a British passport I think she is British.
And you think she is a foreigner because ......?

1.
a person born in or coming from a country other than one's own
Do you get it now!!!!!!!!!
No because that is a very narrow definition of a foreigner. Try this:
1. a person not native to or naturalized in the country or jurisdiction under consideration;
You haven't referred to Boris Johnson as a foreigner in any of the many comments you have posted on Brexit.
Or suggested that any of the other 25 - 30 MPs born outside the UK (without including the 3 Home Nations) should not be interfering in the Brexit process.
So why is Gina Miller the only one you have referred to as not British?

Why would I use your version instead of mine and Boris didn't go against the will of the people on some trumped up crap. As Tess says BREXIT is BREXIT as it is written so let it be done.

Our Tess is it now then but she never took sides on the debate nor was challenged in election for the conservative party the real reason she has called an election is because of the polls and based upon these fact she is a populist. She has no position on anything other than popularity for herself " Every vote for me will strengthen my hand" The real reason she will not do a debate with Jeremy Corbyn is she has so many splinters in her arse from sitting on the fence on everything!
