Still, as long as it keeps the quivering populist neo-Daily Mail readers happy that's the main thing. God bless New Labour.'" As Lautiti says, most of his British team mates would probably fail.
Thank goodness that despite what the Daily Mail might want we're such a diverse culture that I doubt you can actually pin down what is meant by Britishness.

Indeed. For generation upon generation we've mopped up immigrants who helped build what the country was and is. Like the yanks - we're a country largely built on immigration.

It was almost enough to send me packing back to my Irish granny's County Mayo roots.

Two people, and neither of them were strictly speaking "players".
And even if you did restrict it to the playing squad, I think that comment does Keith Senior a massive disservice.

Legal immigrants who come over via the proper means and contribute to society with a job or whatever, and get a basic grasp of the language......great.
They add diversity and are a vital part of our society and always have been.
Illegal ones, who sneak over for our benefits and the NHS, they can phuck off.

Our greatest ever overseas player is attempting to become a Brit.*
Also, got to love his attitude to pre season training.
*If he succeeds will this stop the likes of TVOC from bleating about some perceived breach of the "spirit of the quota" whatever that means.'"
Also worth remembering:
Ali's not that good as he bottled in a return to the NRL.

I'll assume this is a deliberate feck up on your part but will play along.
An illegal immigrant can't claim benefits because to try and do so would highlight their illegal status to the authorities....

Because - IMO - his on field contribution over his career at Leeds dwarfs that of Lauitiiti.

Aye - those illegally employed at below the national minimum wage, cash in hand jobs that would have been taken by a British benefit cheat instead.

You're not the only one. Gawd knows how they dreamt this up.
Paxman's book "The English" is a good read and he shows up a lot of the difficulty in defining "Englishness". It's pretty funny in places too.
