Alan ( GNFC ) Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Gravesindian ,maybe it is that we expect so little of our island's residents . We are all subjects of the queen , and not citizens of the state like the US where you have to swear allegiance to the flag . We dug our regal hole and until the revolution we lie in it .

Big J R Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Quote: Gravesindian said: So you are saying that I am English because I was born in England but also British because I have a British passport. So in that case if I was born in Russia too Mexican parents but I came to England and held a passport for Britian I would be? Russian or British? And the nationality of my parents would have no bearing whatsoever to my nationality? On one hand your country claims to be the champion of diversity and multi-culturalism whilst on the other it is trying to dictate peoples nationalities to them, whilst ignoring their histories, cultures and race. Despite NOT being British, I still have respect for your laws, pay taxes and so on, however it is your nations over excitment in trying to class everyone on these island's as ONE nationality despite it's many obvious diversities. In my view your family, culture, religion, history are the most important bearings on your nationality and not forms that can be claimed in five minutes by in some cases an interpreteur. I think this just maybe the reason why, as Fleet Fanatic said, Great Britain is in the state it is in 2004 and not my reservations about becoming British. The governments drive to be seen as politically correct is working against everyone without them even knowing it! And okay I'll forget the free tickets! Have to pay like everyone else.

[color:"black"] UNQUOTE [color:"blue"] You state you are NOT british yet you have to respect laws etc. Where does the 'have to' come into it ??? You could always disobey them and have a free holiday at the expense of Her Majesty's Pleasure ! Don't get me wrong !! By no stretch of the imagination am I racist. I just believe that when in Rome etc. etc. Just as a point of interest, Hari, the owner of our corner shop, (Yes - he IS Asian, born and bred here), reckons he is MORE British than me, because he has radical views on law and order etc. And incidently, he is a pretty mean spin bowler as well !!

MHL Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 GravesIndian it sounds like your feelings are that we are different and should remain so. I am more then happy to keep my English/British Heritage rather then let it be mocked at and weakened by being forced to accept Labour dictating to me what I can and can't do. I trust Gravesends Mayor (a Sikh) is happy to accept Britain and counts himself as British. I trust Gravesend Cinema (Asian Ownership) is permitted for all races?

chris blanc Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 The cinema's been gone for ages. They messed it all up. They should have made it into a cinema for people who love films. Fight against the evil that is the multiplex. Show old movies and film marathons, Horror nights etc etc. Make it different. Instead, I can get my soul cleansed on a Tuesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilled out entertainer Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 I loathe this post now, it was quite entertaining, but now it is like an addiction and makes my blood boil just reading it. I have no interest in any nationality other than the British. We were,are,and always will be the greatest nation on God's planet.I love this country and so should anyone living here. We are hated in all regions of the world,fact. I can only think this is because of our superiority in almost everything and the fact that we had a great empire and owned such a lot. Can we please talk about the free tickets again as at least that was fleet related, unlike this nationality drivel, which I know I have just written about but I could not resist.
