  1. Interesting. So Suella Braverman doesn't think Winston Churchill (American mother) was "truly English"?

  2. Should your political representatives be allowed to put another country before your country, including when this is against your and your country’s interests?

    (For example, as an American, would/do you approve of your representatives to put Israel before the US?)

  3. More foreign nationals are volunteering at fire corps in Japan amid a continuing shortage of hands, but as the work is classified as special government service, there are restrictions as to what they can engage in. japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/07/ #japan #society #disasterpreparedness #aichi #nationality #volunteers

  5. CW: Ethnonationalism

    I don't really understand tying nationality to ethnicity. Even more, I don't understand tying the national flag to ethno-nationalism. So your national sports team is reserved only for your ethnicity? Are ethnic minorities not allowed to wave the national flag to cheer the national sports team? If ethnic minorities want to be part of the team are they not allowed?

  6. We seem to be having a lot of difficulty telling the difference between #religion and #nationality. It's not hard:

    #Islam, #Judaism and #Christianity are religions.

    #Israeli, British or #Iranian are nationalities.

    Don't use "Muslim" as a nationality; it isn't one. Neither is "Jewish".

    There, that's much clearer, isn't it? 👍 😀

  7. Japan will double the residency requirement for naturalization and expand screening periods for tax and social insurance records starting April 1, bringing the criteria to the level required for permanent residency. japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/03/ #japan #politics #justiceministry #nationality #expats

  8. A quotation from George Orwell

    By “nationalism” I mean first of all the habit of assuming that human beings can be classified like insects and that whole blocks of millions or tens of millions of people can be confidently labeled “good” or “bad.” But secondly — and this is much more important — I mean the habit of identifying oneself with a single nation or other unit, placing it beyond good and evil and recognizing no other duty than that of advancing its interests.

    George Orwell (1903-1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
    Essay (1945-05), “Notes on Nationalism,” Polemic Magazine (1945-10)

  9. theguardian.com/politics/2026/. This is absolutely appalling. The fact that these #dual #nationality #rules have been introduced by a #Labour #Government seeking to pander to the #xenophobia of the #ReformUK vote is utterly DISGUSTING - & it will do them no good at all! The good #citizens of the Gorton & Denton constituency should show what THEY think, & vote for #HannahSpencer of @thegreenparty.

  11. #Drunkenness of alcohol ruins life,
    Drunkenness of scripture ruins society.
    Drunkenness of ideology ruins the world,
    Drunkenness of #nationality ruins humanity.

  15. We are very defensive, and therefore aggressive, when we hold on to a particular belief, a dogmas, or when we worship our particular #nationality, with the rag that is called the flag.

  16. A quotation from The Bible

    All baptised in Christ, you have all clothed yourselves in Christ, and there are no more distinctions between Jew and Greek, slave and free, male and female, but all of you are one in Christ Jesus.
     
    [ὅσοι γὰρ εἰς Χριστὸν ἐβαπτίσθητε, Χριστὸν ἐνεδύσασθε. οὐκ ἔνι Ἰουδαῖος οὐδὲ Ἕλλην, οὐκ ἔνι δοῦλος οὐδὲ ἐλεύθερος, οὐκ ἔνι ἄρσεν καὶ θῆλυ· πάντες γὰρ ὑμεῖς εἷς ἐστε ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ.]

    The Bible (The New Testament) (AD 1st - 2nd C) Christian sacred scripture
    Galatians 3: 27–28 [JB (1966)]

  17. If you were to give someone a primer on "modern #politics", the word "#terrorism" needs defining.

    As is the rule, we go by what politicians do, not what they say - ideological schpiel and all.

    A "#terrorist" is an actor who is posed as a threat to peoples well-being and safety.

    That's it. Now the question is: who is the actor, what "threat" do they pose and whose "well-being" are we talking about?
