@Simon_Ingari This has never ever happened to me. I expect to provide some information for monitoring purposes at interviews but it’s always anonymous & optional.
@matthewdmarsden Once you realise that ethnicity is a cultural concept you will understand why Scots don’t consider themselves English. More Scots than English have ginger hair yet gingerness is not what they feel distinguishes them. NB, they are mostly but not exclusively white.
@matthewdmarsden Your problem is getting physical attributes like skin colour mixed up in a concept which is cultural. Remove that & whilst you may find a majority of white English, Scots, etc, colour/ race isn’t a defining characteristic, any more than hair colour.
@DawsonsRightPeg@michaelgove What on earth are talking about? The first thing that springs to mind is the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, but why would you be alerting Michael Gove to that? Or is it the Jimmy Cliff song? Genuinely intrigued what you mean
@HayleyWinzeler@TheRealJamieKay Yeah stay away Hayley & anyone who hates immigrants (including immigrant hating immigrants), it’s not for you, me, I love it 🥰
@rtxtec@Nickymarrow@BBCNews No, you would generally say you were hit with a bottle or stabbed with a knife “Whereat, with blade — with bloody blameful blade —
He bravely broached his boiling bloody breast” (William Shakespeare - he was an English playwright a long time ago).
@rose_symphony3 That Square’s a death trap. I always think it’s like a zombie movie when all the Eastenders come out of their wee hoosies to watch the dead get taken away.
@rtxtec@BBCNews I have never heard of anyone being run over by a person. By a car or a bus maybe, but no one has ever said I was hit by a person unless a person hit them rather than a car. This is how the English language is used. Happy to assist. I assume you are not from the UK 😉
@rtxtec@BBCNews The car will have hit the people as well as the clothes they were wearing which is the significant issue. Clothes are made of much lighter material than cars. Be careful, your clothes won’t protect you so use the green cross code.
