If move to London am I a Landenar, mate?Clearly not. It's about where you are born, you said. What is the answer to my question?

Obviously not....yawnNot English by your standards though.

Ah, absolutely. Like I said more than happy for her to be a Brit and also be a successful tennis star. Definitely good on herWhatever country you want to decide on for her…doesn’t take away the fact that she is truly top young player and potentially a superstar of professional tennis…really great to watch her progress…well done Emma!
I think you talk b*llocks every single f@xking day of the week on here, personallyHold on, these are your rules. I think you're talking absolute b*llocks personally.
..but to some only true Saxon blood counts as British…or as some prefer English!…I get it in a way in a sporting context that you have to see some rules for identity.
But when someone moves to the UK as a child and grows up as English, then why can’t they see themselves as English?
Raheem Sterling according to wiki born in Jamaica to Jamaican parents. But he’s lived in England since he was 5, so if he sees himself as English then he’s English.
If he moved here at 18 and represented Jamaica throughout his childhood, then in a sporting context the clarity begins to get blurry.
With Emma she’s been in England since she was 2, how can she be anything but English when she has no memory of anything other than being English?
You can't say English anymore...it's racist..but to some only true Saxon blood counts as British…or as some prefer English!…
I've always wondered about people who claim that... I mean how many of us can trace our ancestors back to the 11th century?..but to some only true Saxon blood counts as British…or as some prefer English!…
Let’s be honest most of us are mongrels and could be part French,Norwegian,Italian, Welsh,Irish…even Scottish!I've always wondered about people who claim that... I mean how many of us can trace our ancestors back to the 11th century?

I think coming out and saying that John Barnes is not English and can never be English, is a bit tactless into today's society. As far as I'm concerned, John Barnes is as English as I am. So is Emma Raducanu.I'm old school. Country of birth is your nationality but as she's half decent we'll take her !
You can't say English anymore...it's racist
These days if you say you're English you'll be arrested and thrown in jail
