I'm probably more British than you are, genetically. My mother's line has been here a long, long time and I consider myself yo be a native of this vast and beautiful country.


But you're not a native. You're an incomer. An immigrant.

You're as native to Canada as my fellow bathroom products order picker Omar Manir is native British.

When does one cease to be a newcomer?
I would say, when one decides that they are no longer newcomers.

According to you, it takes a long time to cease to be a newcomer.

You like to call the English non-native invaders of the British Isles. Yet you seem to consider yourself a native of Canada even though your ancestors moved there a lot more recently than the Anglo-Saxons came here.

Somewhat more ... the first wave came here from Scotland 317 years ago. The "Newcomers" were the Jacobites from Highland Perthshire who came here during the Highland Clearances.

What does T Bones call us, again? Old Stock Canadians?

I tell you what, a huge thunderstorm has broken out here, which is quite creepy at just gone 2am.

It's like the thunder and lightning scene in Poltergeist and there are some big trees just right outside.

Maybe, you're going through a time portal and Britain will mysteriously emerge out the other side great again.

Yeah. It's like Poltergeist. And I can even see the silhouette of a tree right on my window. Crazy stuff right now. Bright lightning and loud thunder.

Ireland is being dragged out into deep water, the UK is attached to Ireland more than she is attached to France and Co.



I suspect many long dead Irish republicans would be smiling in their graves (another creepy thought) at the thought of Ireland leaving the EU.

That's the front that we had about five days ago.

Did you know that you're down wind from us?

(poot)

Yeah. We get the dregs from your shitty weather. It moves eastward across the Atlantic. Whenever America is hit by a hurricane we get hit by the remnants of it some time later, causing strong winds and floods.

Johnson Takes Over In Great Britain. Trump Is Delighted.

May was a disaster for the UK, couldn’t make up her mind whether to shit or get off the pot.
She was a Remainer who put Remainers into big government roles - like Philip "We are doomed because we can't get by without the EU because we're all useless dumb ****s" Hammond, who wisely quit as Chancellor of the Exchequer on Sunday before Johnson could sack him.

After the grey, defeatist days of Remainer May, Johnson made another exciting, upbeat, optimistic speech today, this time in Manchester:
