Germany’s ambassador to the UK, speaking to The Telegraph: "It is, of course, for the British people to decide how close they want that relationship to be. But let me be clear: in Germany you will always find a partner for setting the ambition as high as we can."

I'm sorry, but Braverman's definition of being English is *very* reminiscent of Nazi racial profiling where an individual's "heritage" or "ancestry" determined how the state could treat them. We must not go there... ever again.
