I'd love to know how the folk on this place that agree with Suella Braverman, define Englishness.
Help me out because the word England derives from 'Engla Land' — land of the Angles.
The Angles migrated here from Germany in the 5th century, but England was not a defined territory until the 10th century around the time of Alfred.
A hundred years later it was conquered by the French.
So which arbitrary bit of 'Englishness' are you all desperate to be linked to?
The Germans or the French?
All definitive lineage disappears overseas when you go back even just a little bit.
What you're all so desperate for — a line of homogeneous, white English folk ... doesn't exist.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
@Heccles94 Ratcliffe needs to shut up. Lives in Monaco, moves offices overseas, and supported Brexit (the main reason for the slow economy). What a tit
@donmcgowan I live in Tendring and it sickens me that people in this constituency can’t see him for what he is. His corruption is so obvious I’m at a loss for words for why people support him.
Unfortunately, it’s at the point where his supporters just don’t want to listen to the truth
@donmcgowan Not to mention he was on my street today, and my neighbours 4 yr old daughter answered the door and he just let himself in…… not sure he really knows how to be around ‘the public’ #Faragecorruption
Wow. All the chickens are coming home to roost. To everyone who believes the current story about Farage’s £ is magically different from the one I was destroyed over - & a large chunk of UK press remained completely silent about - please take a long hard look at yourself
@mpmwilko@LibDems@ZiaYusufUK Why does he keep swapping between teleprompters as if he ‘talking to an audience’ - clearly hes just in an empty room. Reform UK are beyond parody at this point
Nigel Farage called a by-election against a bin to run away from unanswered questions, but the net is closing in.
Grubby pacts, cover-ups, secret gifts, support from a convicted fraudster – it all adds up to a stench of sleaze. The public can smell it.

Reform sources now confirm our report to the Guardian.
Farage struck deal for loans that would have to be repaid “if he returned as leader and any plan had been drafted for if, not when, he became leader”.
