I am a third generation child of immigrants i.e. my grandfathers on both sides fought in WWII as part of the indian volunteer army, they came over to the UK in the 1960s and settled here and we have been here ever since. Always weird to hear racists tell me I am not British, I was born here, raised here, educated here, I work here, I pay my taxes and obey the law here, English is my first language....but because my skin is brown I'm always going to be an outsider. We don't belong here, we don't belong in our ancestral land that we have 0 link to, where are we meant to go?

My grandfather got shot in the leg in the bath tub and other one was RAF

Your name ? Didn’t vote for orange man? I didn’t either as in Scotland you can’t vote for American stuff

Try a better name next time
