The material prosperity of a nation is not an abiding possession; the deeds of its people are.

If Miliband is technically British, then I am technically German.
That's the rub of it, he's british by the location of his birth, not his parents. I have a friend who was born here to italian parents. He considers himself to be Italian. Despite preferring tea to coffee and Porsche to ferrari...
You can argue both sides. I am English, but technically, presuming your point, German.Comment

That's a strawman and you know it.
His point is that he doesn't have the genealogical make up of being British, in that his parents aren't British, that his parents cultural, religious and national make up was not British. In that point of HIS, he is correct. He is English not by parent, but location, as much as I am German by the same thing. Does having citizenry make you one of them? A friend recently become a citizen of the US of A, does that make him american? My friends parents were immigrants from Italy who are English citizens, but that's a piece of paper, as they are in every facet of life Italians.Comment
