Question

How can we call it English or British if the Spanairds take over the Airports from BAA and again with football how can it be English if the players are foreigners and Spanish ifDavid Beckham who is English in Madrid Reale..surely it should be only English players in an English team and if something is English or British then it should be owned by the British and English only. Why are we having so many foreigners taking over our large businesses. England will not be England in this way it will lose its identity

Answer 1

Hmm, xenophobic much? Lets take up our English Longbows and start shooting at them as they get off the boat in our feathered hats. This is the deal we made by being in the EU, that we allow people to try to be sucessfull in the country of their choice, no one seems to complain when they hit 50 and buy homes in Spain or Portugal, or booze cruising in France, tanking up and being a nuisance to their local authorities. And I'm sure we'll still be English, the problem you have is they aren't being English. And the football thing? It's a sport! The best person gets the job, in world or Olympic events the competitors must be born in the country they compete in, but the football leagues can do as they wish, they're a leisurely sport.

England will still be England, even with less English people in it. We have our culture and it will still be there, people aren't going to drop it any time soon.

Answer 2

It /is/ only English players in the England team. David Beckham plays for England (as an England player), and for a Spanish team in the Spanish league, where the team does not represent Spain but merely the one established in a particular location.

To give an example of what you are saying:
1. English players should only play for the England team.
2. Only people who live in Manchester could play for Man City or Man United.

Answer 3

there is not any 'British' id on the grounds this is a guy made convey jointly devised by making use of ability of the 'British' state on the founding of the 'union' in 1707. Being English is to belong to a particular racial team in regulation.As is Scottish,Welsh,Northern Irish. The hangover from the days of empire ability that some deluded persons ( or ignorant ones) can't permit pass of the 'British' ingredient. quickly the Scottish people might have a vote on independence.in the event that they vote to pass away the 'union' this is going to be intricate for the state to maintain the fiction of any form of 'British' id. In successive polls an increasing sort of ethnic English are picking themselves as perfect being English. This concerns the British Broadcasting organization, The British Parliament ( there is not any English one) and all issues putting directly to the colonialist id. It would not worry me-i'm English.

Answer 4

Only English players play for the English national team and vice versa

Answer 5

You can thank the Tories for de-nationalising the bl**dy country then. We used to own the electricity, gas, water, postal service etc etc. We paid to set all of that up. Now its too expensive to buy it back and rich people don't want to pay tax so more gets sold off.

Answer 6
