Why do immigrants regard England as a state rather than as an inheritance?

The English are not 'a nation of immigrants'. There are two people in the village of Cheddar whose DNA shows that they are descendants of Cheddar Man.

Cheddar Man is a 9000 year old skeleton that was found in Cheddar Gorge.

No they aren't.

And just because they found someone whose DNA was traced back to a 9000 year old man does not mean yourself or I can say the same thing. In fact, I'd wager that man is a rarity. We've had thousands of years of immigrants to this land, and they've all contributed to what we think of when we think of England.

UKIP tends to say english jobs for english people. From what you have said that translates into jobs only for white people
It all adds up now. You may not be racist in words but when decoded that is the sentiment.
I wonder why such hatred against those of colour who are british stems from?

Thats your own twisted perception, UKIP have said no such thing in their policies
You're deluded and can't accept the reality that the English are a white ethnic group, I'm not even English and know that

All the peoples of the British isles are white.

There's a difference between a British person and a British citizen.


Not to me, not to them, and not to the law. That's your own bogus opinion.

Romans didn't immigrate here, they just occupied the island, same with Vikings and Normans. The few who came just married into the natives and became English.

The English identity comes from the Anglo-Saxons

Why's it bogus? Non-white British citizens are still 'British' for all intents and purposes.
You can't, however, make an asian person ethnically British.


There's no such thing as an ethnically British person any more than an ethnically American person. It's a legal contruct,

What is that difference and how can one identify it
