My grandparents were Irish, Came to Cardiff looking for work and lived in Newtown which was where Tyndall St is now i believe. Known as 'Little Ireland' Both my parents were born in Cardiff. Alot of people in Cardiff will have Irish or south west English ancestry due to their close proximity to the industrial jobs that were offer in South Wales.

Ditto. Newtown all demolished now. Throw in a bit of Italian, Welsh, English, probably Norman French and (going back to the 1400s and not proven) Scottish, best to say White European. Six nations is a doddle😁

[Wales-Bales]

I'm a Cardiffian.

Worth a watch. Certainly makes you open your eyes a bit.

[The Bloop]

White and Welsh.
Great grandparents on my fathers side moved to Cardiff from England around the end of the 19th Century.

[Eric the Half a Bee]

White, Welsh not British.

Isn’t anyone born in the British Isles British? Even people born in the Republic of Ireland are from the British Isles aren’t they? Great Britain is only so called because it’s the largest of many British islands.

Hopefully, an independent, democratic republic member of the EU. Hey, you never know.

As a collective they are the British Isles. A British citizen has to have been born in the UK (or abroad to British parents), which Ireland isn't. GB is England, Wales and Scotland. UK adds on Northern Ireland. Ireland might be geographically part of the British Isles, but is politically independent from Britain, like hopefully Scotland and Northern Ireland will be one day.

That’s my question, is anyone who is born in any of the British Isles British? I’d have thought so. A native of the Republic is British, by the fact that they’re from one of the British Isles. Perhaps it’s not to a lot of them their liking, much the same as we’ll still be Europeans after next Friday whether Farage’s lot like it or not.

Yes, anyone who is born Britain is British (Ireland is a British island but not part of Britain, hence the United Kingdom of Britain and Northern Ireland), but they might choose to call themselves Welsh or English or Scottish or Manx or Cornish etc

I was born and brought up in England by English parents, one with roots in Devon, Somerset and Cornwall and one with roots in Shropshire, Cheshire and the north east. But I have lived in Cardiff for 32 years now (out of 58), have supported City and Wales for most of that time. Can I be Welsh please?

No desire for Wales to also be independent?

[Eric the Half a Bee]

Yes, I would like that, but it's not going to happen in my life time. With the number of English already here the vote is already lost.

[Eric the Half a Bee]

I answered it. The Republic of Ireland is in the British Isles in a geographical sense, but politically anyone born there is Irish. Only people born in the UK (or outside of UK parents) are British citizens as Ireland is not joined to the UK politically.

So, no. Irish born people aren't British.

I just read an article ‘The problem of being British when you’re Irish’, confused me more than ever
