neo-Nazis in British Army arrested

It's like the West Indian woman from Jamaica, who went to the British nursing school in Kingston, and when the British National Health Service was founded, they were desperate for nurses, so they hired from the Commonwealth, and the Jamaican nurse moves to England from the West Indies, and when she gets there, and she sees them, she says "my God, they're so poor, they're so filthy, they're so unhealthy, and the live in such terrible conditions, how can this be Great Britain?"

Here in the far reaches of the British Empire, we are more British than the British, the English, are rather strange, to we British now.

Give it up.

Yes, you Americans are obsessed with ethnicity, always have been, you used to panic about too many Germans and Irish moving in, now you panic about Mexicans and Muslims, but not actually the case for the British, you may think "American" is some sort of race, but the British Empire, was a place not a race.

uh huh,

The reckless, degraded, and often vicious members of society, tend to increase at a quicker rate than the provident and generally virtuous members. Or as Mr. Greg puts the case: ?The careless, squalid, unaspiring Irishman multiplies like rabbits: the frugal, foreseeing, self-respecting, ambitious Scot, stern in his morality, spiritual in his faith, sagacious and disciplined in his intelligence, passes his best years in struggle and in celibacy, marries late, and leaves few behind him. Given a land originally peopled by a thousand Saxons and a thousand Celts?and in a dozen generations five-sixths of the population would be Celts, but five-sixths of the property, of the power, of the intellect, would belong to the one-sixth of Saxons that remained. In the eternal ?struggle for existence,? it would be the inferior and less favoured race that had prevailed?and prevailed by virtue not of its good qualities but of its faults.?
? Charles Robert Darwin, The Descent of Man, Great Minds Edition, 123

Yes, yes, but while all Scots are British, not all British are Scots, and go to Ireland and call a Irishman "British", and see what he says, but make sure you say "no offense" first, lest he deck you for calling him a "Brit".

As British is a place not a race, you can be British, until you're not.

To be fair, American thinkers were way way way ahead of anyone, including Nazis, concerning demographic trends.

And they were all absolutely correct about everything.

Yeah, well we let in them filthy Irishmen looking for gibs, and next thing you know, BAM, New Deal.

Those mud-humping potato jockeys are incompatible with our culture.

When George Orwell visited Canada he broke down and wept. He would rather have been an untouchable hide tanner in the poorest dirt road punjabi province then ever set foot in Canada again. I think even visiting there once caused him to question humanity more than the Spanish Civil War. He stayed for about five minutes and got back on the steamship.

They are some filthy Fenian bastards, no doubt.

You're not wrong though

Well of course, as we British North Americans, we look down on the rest of the Empire, not the rich mind you, we like Wills and Kate, but most of the rest are an uncouth lot by our priggish standards.

I mean, Orwell? Fucking communist, get out.

I don't know about communist but it does seem he had a leftist kind of bent about him the more I think about it.
