// I am White European, and can say that my ancestors going back hundreds of years were English, so I am defiantly not black or African, that I can be sure of. //
Carol Thatcher had her DNA tested for a TV programme, and she turned out to be 24% middle eastern. I do not trust your guess at your ethnicity AOG.

You asked:
Then please enlighten me, what is the difference from being 'British' to being 'Native British'?
I asked you if I could be considered British.
I asked you directly.
You said it was dependent on a number of factors.
Then you threw 'native Briton' into the discussion.
Therefore as you brought it up, it's down to you to define what you mean.
But (once again) returning to the subject at hand - given that I meet whatever standards you have set (I speak with a London accent, I support British teams in international events, I wear a suit during the week and casuals at weekends) who's to say I am not British?
And if that's the case, what does he dog/stable thing mean?

"But obviously it must be touching a few bare nerves, so let's just say I am because it is having some effect."
Nope - it's because you keeping moving the goalposts, because your argument is hopelessly flawed.
I asked whether I was British, and you said I was not a native Briton (which was not what I asked).
I asked if F W De Klerk was African.
You changed the subject to talk about elections in South Africa.
You stated that the Philpott case was nothing to do with revenge. I pointed out that it most certainly was.
So, to be honest - yes, you are indeed having 'an effect', but it is the effect that someone has when listening to someone trying desperately to support an argument that has little merit.

SP: //I speak with a London accent//
I know we're way off topic with this, but "accent" these days is a hugely grey area - so, are you a gor-blimey cockney, do you use estuary english, or do you talk like this http://
all these accents are native to the area bounded by the M25 (with variations - the accent heard in Greenford, for instance is subtly different), and all speakers of these dialects will be native born londoners.

They are all 'MAN'S' rules we should be taking from an 'ANTHROPOLOGICAL' point of view.
Do you not agree that you are a different race from myself?
This exchange of views is getting a little close to a superior species etc etc, which I am in no way suggesting, but others my like to accuse me of, so perhaps we should end it here.
Only trying to get my point of view over regarding nationalities and culture, hope you understand sp?

/// I asked whether I was British, and you said I was not a native Briton (which was not what I asked). ///
And I asked you to explain the difference, this is natural when you are asked a question and before one answers they have the right to ask for clarification.
/// I asked if F W De Klerk was African. ///
I merely retaliated by asking if other white Presidents of South Africa were also African'
Nothing about changing the goal posts, it is what is called constructing an augment
/// You stated that the Philpott case was nothing to do with revenge. I pointed out that it most certainly was ///
I did not say 'IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH REVENGE', this is what 'I DID SAY'.
Nothing at all in common with the Philptt case, except to say a burning house causing the deaths of some children (in this case young teenagers).
The Phillpot case was were a father started a fire in his home which caused the deaths of his children, I do hope that you can't possibly be suggesting that this Leicester case is anywhere similar to the Derby case?
