According to AncestryDNA I'm descended from Pacific Islander cannibals on my father's side and I'm related to Nathan Bedford Forrest on my mother's. I think I prefer the cannibals.

Software previously used for careers guidance in schools has got brought out of retirement and is being used to match (in theory) 1 immigrant and pair them up with 1 bremoaner/liberal/PC gawnmad type and when it's finished every immigrant will have a 'brexit buddy' and both of them will be going to get deported so they aren't alone in the brave new post-brexit world. I've been paired up with Pat 5mph, the bit of paper that came in the post said we'd been matched due to work background, speed of cycling, some familiarity with Italy and rucksacks. User482 has got paired up with Mariusz from Poland who currently pretty much runs the dustbin collection in a large city in the south of England, theclaud has got paired up with Miriana from Romania who is assistant director of a large theatre based charity in London, rockymountain has got paired up with Danillo a reader in Sociology at Glasgow University and Adele a teacher in an inner city comprehensive in Dewsbury, McWobble has been matched up with 7 (unemployed) previously researchers in science departments in universities who all cycle, and User has got paired up with 55,124 people who seem to be a bunch of GPs, hospital doctors, nurses, paramedics and midwives and for some reason 28,473 agricultural workers in East Anglia.

Excellent. Thanks to your comprehensive obliviousness and disregard for others, you’re very British.

To be honest, I don't quite know where it leaves us. I'm struggling to remember the last time 30 million people were stripped of European citizenship against their will following an advisory referendum.

Did you not notice your glorious leaders telling all Europeans and holders of multiple passports that we're citizens of nowhere a few weeks ago, then? That only the views of the "seventeen million" voting for brexit now matter to them? That the rest should "stop quibbling", "respect" their authoritah and "build a new united Britain" by condoning their bonkers self harm project? That having foreign workers is shameful and businesses should do "better" than that?
And the few fig leaves of decency, like pledging to investigate and potentially correct "historic injustices" like Orgreave, or to stop unfair testing of people with disabilities, have started falling by the wayside now autumn's come.
I'm English and history shows we don't capitulate like that and our democracy doesn't work like that. One win doesn't give the victor carte Blanche, especially such a narrow one!

Well, I probably should confess - I wouldn't actually do all that (especially the oath of allegiance to Lizzy II and all her inbred descendants) for British citizenship , I did it for European citizenship. That is winning the lottery of life.

My dad was a proud New Zealander whose family name makes clear that 'we' came from Scotland originally; my mother's clan were split between Scots and Northerners; I was born in London and have never considered myself anything other than English (no divided loyalties in an England v All Blacks encounter, eg). I guess all that adds up to me being pretty damn British, to answer the OP.
