Perhaps because it's two countries, whereas British Indian is a more collective? I don't know how to word it and don't really want to get too technical about it! Best not to start on Anglo-Indians as well...

Worryingly this is the genuine level of understanding I've seen from a few posters on here in the last 48 hours. Although they seem to have suddenly piped down a bit.. 1

Jon the Hat Posted 1 August 2024 Posted 1 August 2024 You are not a British citizen from birth in the uk unless at least one of your parents is a citizen when you are born. You can qualify later though along with your parents. If one or both of your parents are British and you’re born overseas you are entitled to British citizenship but still need to fill in a form to get it.
ajthefox Posted 1 August 2024 Posted 1 August 2024 Not sure about the rest of you mudbloods but my mum has gone back to circa 1750 on ancestry.com and it's a full English. *Apart from the Egyptian woman my grandad married before meeting my grandma when he was stationed there. The old dawg. 2

Shows what a shambles the previous government was. Interest rates being cut at this point is absolutely nothing to do with Labour😂 1 1
Foxdiamond Posted 1 August 2024 Posted 1 August 2024 BBC report saying the charged Southport suspect on autism spectrum. I sincerely hope this does not lead to a backlash by ignorant who have no idea about the subject. 3
StanSP Posted 1 August 2024 Posted 1 August 2024 didn't someone say he had 'Arab appearance' Some of the far right were saying it was a Muslim guy potentially there to cause more mayhem amongst the crowd. 2

I also hope this isn’t used as a mitigating factor in the court of law. Unlike the Nottingham guy who was experiencing severe psychosis, autism would not account for not knowing the difference between right or wrong. 2

They would most likely hurt themselves. People with autism suffer burnout or have sensory issues and may not be able to communicate verbally. They get upset and have fitts of frustration or anger but don't usually violently attack people. They certainly wouldn't plan a vicious attack. Just because he has autism doesn't mean his condition made him do what he did, and shouldn't be used as an excuse. Many people have autism they don't all kill innocent random strangers. The motive is still unknown and probably has more to do what he did rTher than his autism. 2 1

Dahnsouff Posted 1 August 2024 Posted 1 August 2024 We seem more and more intent on assigning tribalistic groupings to almost anyone and do so without any acknowledgement of context or detail, and this applies to all sides. It’s really quite unhealthy and is naturally divisive. Sorry, obvious I know, and maybe belongs in the grinds my gears thread. 1

I mentioned because my grandson is autistic and I would be alarmed if some people linked autism to the murders due to their ignorance and that it was quoted by BBC 1
