But what does BREXIT actually mean. She still hasn't told us what that is. She is calling a General Election now after previously strenuously denying she would call one before 2020. It's because by 2020 the realities of BREXIT will become clearer to the people who voted for it, and they wouldn't have voted Conservative then.
Strong and stable??!! :left:

Not really she's being kind by not showing up an ageing buffoon.

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.
You would use my version because it is closer to what most people would understand as legally correct.
Whether Boris went against the will of the people or not is irrelevant. Either he is a foreigner and shouldn't be meddling in Brexit or he isn't.
Now most people wouldn't think Boris was a foreigner just because he was born in New York. It then logically follows that Gina isn't a foreigner either because she was born in British Guyana. If anything she is less of a foreigner. At least she was born in British territory.
You seem to be saying Boris isn't a foreigner because you agree with him and Gina is because you don't. Though why you or anyone thinks bypassing parliament is a good thing is beyond me. I thought we were taking back control.

And when you say "trumped up crap" is that your highly trained legal brain talking or are you the one spouting crap ?(as usual).
Remind us - where exactly did you get your law degree to be able to disagree with the Supreme Court judges with such eloquence?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

No! You would use your version and I would use mine. Yours is no more valid than mine because you say it is and actually stating that your opinion is shared by "most people" - now how would you know that?

How many people would say Boris Johnson is a foreigner?
Why is Wiggins described as the first British winner of the Tour de France?
What national anthem do they play when Mo Farah receives his gold medals?

They are all British. Nobody calls them foreigners or not British.
Well when I say nobody there probably is a little faction somewhere to the right of Adam Walker.........

By my definition they are all foreigners regardless of how many opinions - simple as. Nothing you say will change my life one iota.

I'm not prejudiced but I believe that our country should be more like Australia in terms of allowing immigrants. We want to positively welcome doctors and nurses or those professions where there is a skills shortage.

I don't where this thread is going in terms of Britishness, but I would suspect that it goes on a person's country of origin as to what nationality they are - and many application forms for jobs state this - like British Guyana or something, as it's an 'adopted' country.
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.

Maybe some would like us all to have genetic testing and if we fail the test euthanasia would calm them down perhaps they have gas chambers for us all even if we don't vote for the right party and praise Theresa MAY and god will be with us for are very existences!

Eventually everyone is exposed for what they really are. It's a pretty disgusting thread that should have been closed when it became obvious it was really just another excuse to wheel out the usual snide comments, petty insults, bigotry and intolerance.

You can choose whatever definition of "foreigner" that you want but when it's spat out with the kind of venom it has been on this thread everybody knows what you mean. If being "British" means I have to align myself with the kind of attitude that goes along with those views I would prefer to be "foreign".
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

You are making one thing clear that's for sure. But I am surprised you think the children of British Servicemen and women born in British Military Hospitals are classed as foreigners. In my estimation, that's as vile as if someone called you a little Englander based on your description of foreigners.

Get it now.

Fishtank is right this thread is well off topic and getting too snidey and nasty. However, I should at least give dvbuk55 time to exercise his right to reply. After that, the thread will be closed.
