    Teke i thought the thread was about Britain ? If you are saying black people cannot be British or English then you are offending lots of black people, and lots of Australians because by the same note they cannot be Australians unless they are aboriginal ! We have no problems over here with people of colour being English or British, or having dual nationality ala Junior Witter.
    We do have a problem with importing athletes who are already proven and succesful and then claiming them as our own and taking the credit for them.


    Yeah Ipswitch its now 47 - 3 Sting did beat a Crack Head over here and Ancient Jonny Armour. Can you find any more ?

    Oh the French have called us Pommes for over 500 years, it means apples and during our various wars with France several battles were fought in the south of England which were predominantly orchards ( at the time , now its mainly flats ) so they called us the apples.
