nomoss Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 [quote user="You can call me Betty"]Nomoss, is your comment addressed to me? If so, I don't see its connection to my post.[/quote]Of course not. It isn't aimed at anyone in particular.Just a request to people in general, including a couple on here, to please avoid referring to Britons who were born outside the UK as "immigrants" if they came to live in the UK from the colonies when they had every right to do so.That is, before the government decided to remove UK citizenship, and their right to live there, from anyone not already in the UK. EDIT: I don't think anyone here would refer to someone moving from, e.g. Scotland to England as an immigrant................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyh4 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I have relatives in Scotland and I can assure you that some (a few perhaps) do talk of English immigrants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
