I seem to have upset the @SuellaBraverman fan club - so let me be clear.
This women sows hate, lies and division. She is wrong.
She does not represent the vast majority of Britons.
RT if you agree
P.s. multiculturalism is great.
DNA? A distinct, unmixed "English" DNA profile does not exist.
If a test says you're 100% English, it means your DNA matches the modern, already-mixed reference group of people living in England today. It is matching a statistical algorithm, not an ancient, pure prototype.
@LizWebsterSBF People forget the Romans were in England (not Scotland) for I think over 300 years. Dont tell me they didn't bring some empire blood into the the frame.
@markofagenius My mum was born UK member of a english family dating back to 900AD. My dad was of German origin born in USA. I was born in South Africa, what does that make me? Lived in UK since 1971. My children born and brought up in UK their dad was Swedish.
Am I & my kids British or not?
Only white people can be English - Suella Braverman
Every single black and brown person in the UK will be in danger if Reform UK ever wins an election.

Man with slick hair, "I find it quite disgusting how we're talking about human beings who are genuinely.. And it's not illegal to claim asylum in a foreign country"
"Saying they're illegal immigrants.. They're asylum seekers and refugees" #BBCQT
"Illegal immigrants tend to be people who come here legally and overstay a visa, or an application. That's the majority of illegal immigrants"
"We know other countries take on a lot more refugees than we ever do"
"Calling these people: the invaders"
"Or dehumanising them so we can point a finger at them saying: you're the reason we have a housing shortage.. But we've only built 250,000 council houses since Thatcher came into power.. Before that we built 5 million"
"Why do people claim that immigrants are the problem when it's recent governments that are the problem"
Suella Braverman, consider Walter Tull.
Born in Folkestone to an English mother and a Barbadian father. A footballer for Tottenham Hotspur and Northampton Town. A British Army officer who led soldiers into battle and was killed serving his country in 1918.
If your definition of Englishness excludes a man like him, it is your definition that needs challenging.
I was 24 in 1979 before this Thatcherite mouthpiece was born. 1970s - trade surplus, secure jobs, affordable housing, functioning dentistry and healthcare etc. Ruined by the failure to deal with the oil crisis. 1980s - a nightmare of deindustrialisation, trade deficits, unemployment, rising house prices, drug markets, rising crime etc. Don't let these liars rewrite history.
There wasn't a social care crisis when local authorities provided the service free of charge. Then Thatcher privatised it and private equity bosses started charging ยฃ8000 a month.
Burnham now saying out loud what has been common knowledge for several years. Brexit has been a complete and utter failure and the sooner the UK rejoins the EU, the sooner the damage can be repaired.
UK rejoin is a clear vote winner and will deliver a General Election win.
Some of us lived through the 70s. You were 4 when they finished. There were some problems, of course, but we had affordable housing, free university education, enough money to buy a house etc. All the things your party took away!
