It certainly does not "work just fine" in the US, indeed the US is a particularly bad example for adding cost to businesses.

As I've already said Burnsy. You know what kind of person coming to your country.
A good run business plan ahead. Plenty on this forum go to the US to work for a bit with no problem.


Unlike the EU where there will be 2 million people by the end of the year,
who haven't got and papers or passports, you don't know if they're terrorist's or rapists.

"A bit of comedy" "personal attack" you say. Well what about the rest you said.

"Who your friends are?

Who your neighbours are?"

What has that got to do with being English? that's right nothing. You're fishing for an answer that you can MOAN about.

I'm English when I'm here and I'm English when I'm in my other home in FL.

Still ignoring my main point of defining what you mean by English so you can then answer my next question of what that entitles you to. Specifically what rights does that gives you over me. After all, in your book i am not English and i agree. I was born here, pay taxes, live here, have English friends, have an English cat that eats food from an English supermarket but am not English.

We are discussing rights of people and its change with the EU if we go out, not how proud you are to be English. What relevance is it to the EU if you cant answer my Question of what rights does having your English blood give you over me?

And also by his definition of what English is, legally entitles him to NOTHING over someone like myself who is not English and therefore his points on ethnic origin is irrelevant to anyone else but himself who holds such opinions and especially irrelevant to the EU.

So how much blood ancestry do you need to be "ethnically English". Both parents English? One? What about a single grandparent?

A person who has an English parent and a German parent would quite reasonably be considered ethnically Anglo-German. If they had a child with an English person, that child would in my view be considered English in practical terms.

The reality is they would not be wholly English, but there is a point where the distinction becomes less and less relevant. For those ethnic groups which are closest to us (North-Western European) that distinction can vanish in a generation or two. For those further removed, (Sub-Saharan Africa or East Asian) the requirement is higher. I would expect that to take many generations.

In short: When someone can no longer be distinguished as a member of an out-group, they are a member of the in-group.
 
But what relevance is all this to staying in the EU or not, if you being English doesn't give you any other right/privileged over someone like me?

Don't get why you think I've lost the plot, this is a discussion on the EU.

Then talk about the EU and not YOU all the time.

Again. Back on topic of the EU.

"The number of people seeking asylum in the European Union in 2015 reached 1,255,600"

Who are the "others" in the graph? so it turns out most are gimmigrents ;)
 
Well obviously you are not going to answer because my point is relevant but is just in the context of you and me. I can rephrase it to includ the eu and be more general.

'Since we have been discussing ethnicity of what makes you English for the last xx posts, why is that relevant to the discussion of the EU? Some people have all the rights of an English person but are not considered English by you. Do you think leaving the EU might lead to the UK imposing restriction on non Ethnically local Citizens, for there are many.'

Happy?

You realise thats 1000 years right?
