My point is that place of birth is largely irrelevant. It's not really about "pure blood" or any of that nonsense, it's about integration and respecting the culture you want to live amongst. Would you consider that the offspring of a say, a US couple born here and then returned to the US would be British or US? |

Lee wrote Semantics. Being born in a country does not make one a native. What does make one a native? You run around with no clothes on. That makes the PHucker the only native left. How many generations of pure blood are needed? No such animal as pure blood. And with a place like england, which has been infested with immigrants for millennia now, no such thing as natives either. They all migrated from somewhere, from africa ultimately unless the Neanderthals independently evolved from some form of ape native to that soggy little frigid island that we dont have any evidence of in the fossils anymore. |

Rod Speed wrote Duh. Farage isnt relevant to anything but immigrants, stupid. Since the referendum, he hasn't been relevant to anything, Thats overstating it a bit. He is one of the reasons May wont actually be stupid enough to just ignore the referendum because she knows what would happen with Farage if she was that stupid. which is likely annoying the hell out of him. Dunno, he appears to be having fun posturing for the yanks now. He probably thought that being the UKIP spokesperson would keep him in TV appearances for donkeys years. I doubt it. IMO if he wanted to do that, he wouldnt have quit UKIP. |

Legislation is anything that carries the force of law and the EU generates thousands of regulations that never get debated that pass into law every year. As at March 2015, there were 75,820 laws of all kinds on the UK legal database. Of those, 22,398 (29.5%) originated with the EU, but not all of those would have any direct effect on the UK, for example those covering growing tobacco in the Canary islands and whether Danish ships can catch mackerel. As I said, about two out of every three pieces of legislation, both primary and secondary (i.e Regulations, whether UK or EU) are entirely home grown.
