Are Anglo-Saxons native English? Aren't they Germanic?
I dont think she is alone and do think there is a tiny percentage of our fellow citizens that just cannot get their heads around non-white people being British. It's both disturbing and hilarious that they can hold this view in 2021.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
by your logic white south africans are as african as blacks

angles, saxons and jutes were germanic tribes that came to britain after the fall of the roman empire...old english derives from their language
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How many white Saffas do you know? The few I know absolutely say they're African.

My argument is that the Anglo-Saxons aren't pure bred English because, you know, they're Germanic.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
the world "english" is derived from angles ...one of the facking germanic ppls that came here in the 4th/5th c AD

you're getting confused between the earlier britons (a celtic people) and the anglo-saxons arent you ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In the context of the conversation about the old dear not rating Lammy as a real Brit then identifying herself as an anglo-saxon, which you agree aren't native English.

The key lines of inquiry are:

If Mr Johnson breached the Nolan Principles by failing to report the relationship.
If the future PM gave Miss Arcuri 'preferential treatment' over -
£126,000 in taxpayer' money she received in event sponsorship and grants. The majority £100,000, came in a government grant in 2019;
Mr Johnson's decision to speak at her technology events;
The privileged access she gained to three official overseas trade missions led by him.

Hopefully has to resign, no doubt get away with it like Stirgeon

That’s an odd conflation (assuming you mean Sturgeon).

I personally know many whites in Africa and try telling them they're not. They love their homes. In some places it's not even that rare to find a white person here or there in a leadership position these days. It's happening more and more despite the colonial undertones that suggest it shouldn't happen.

Have to say, Lammy did well to keep his cool with this old crow.

https://twitter.com/LBC/status/1376490662485499905?s=20
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Listened to that and was furious, he dealt with it well

Then some other guy phones up and says how awful he opinions were but finished off with a question... "Why do so many coloured people say 'aksed' instead of 'asked'


----------------------------------------------------------------------
He did very well to hold his nerve

The problem with people like Jean is that they're very set in their ways and in fact it gives them great comfort to be so. Trying to debate people like her is a waste of time because they don't like change, uncertainty or having to question their worldview.

He’s done worse than give away £126k of our money and he’s still here

cultural, woke neo-marxist attempt to erase thousands of years of european history
attempt to disinherit and disenfranchise, the indigenous white population , by implying their rights on the land are no more than very recent immigrants into the continent

You'd have to substantiate this comment before applying it elsewhere. Sounds like nonsense to me.

I've seen various North Americans tell natives to go back where they came from.

The ex president himself when speaking on native land just last year stated American history started in 1776.

they are native english
they're part of the ethnic make up of the indigenous population of this country

are black saffas native to SA ?

given that they descend from bantu farmers from the north who came to SA a few thousand years ago only and partially wiped out and mixed with the previous San people of the region

much like the anglo-saxons did with the celts

listened to the lammy bit, wished hed asked about for example, a french couple came here 70 odd years ago had children and those children had children, would she consider them english?

At what age do racist views become, not acceptable, but simply an elephant in the room people skirt over to avoid the awkwardness, 75? 80?

I'd say when dementia takes hold.

Depends where you live and how much exposure you have to other races I think. I've lived in a couple of proper sh!thole "small-town mentality" type places where racism was pretty common across all age ranges. These people had seen very little of life in cities so it was almost like a 1960s timewarp - the last few decades of modernisation and mass immigration had completely passed them by

You're overthinking something that was very basic as well as shifting the goalposts to create an argument that only you want.

Maybe the ex president should have specified. Did the history of Britain start with the Germanic invasion?
