Someone who happens to be occupying this particular lump of rock jutting out of the sea rather than that other lump of rock jutting out the sea, way over there.

Oooh! It's the video from the Iranian TV company that's just been booted out of the UK for interview people under the duress of being threatened with execution.

Why? It's obviously a contradictory quagmire of a conundrum and there are many angles to take.

I'd say it was someone who perceives that they are English.

There are probably more English persons who were born in the Asian sub-continent than here in blighty under this criteria.

I had the impression, all the time that I lived there, that they do not want to be happy; they want to be right.

I was English when I lived in Scotland, Sweden, Russia and Australia so it's obviously not where you live. I was born in England so that might be it although my American friend's kids born over here are American. My mum was born in India so by a process of elimination it must be country of father's birth - he was born in Croydon.

Who cares? 😀
