  1. Nothing? I'd be happy to fund plane tickets for them.

  2. English is an ethnicity, not a nationality, so you can't say "You need to be English (colour doesn't matter)". Everyone who is English is white. People who aren't white cannot be English, though they can be British.

  3.  @boek2777 Good comment, but you mean "populace", not "populus", just being helpful.

  5. Agree, but it's "would have been", not "would of been", just being helpful.

  6.  @jamiewoods7733  Wrong. England isn't currently a nation, which is why people born here have British nationality, not English. Currently, "English" is just an ethnicity and won't be a nationality unless the United Kingdom of Great Britain ends and England, Scotland and Wales all become nations. In any case, many nations don't give nationality to children born there if their parents are foreign. You state it as if it's a universal law, but it's not. Anyone can play for the England team, whether they're English or not. It's meaningless.

  7.  @jamiewoods7733  No, I'm not. English is an ethnicity, not a nationality, it can't be assumed by someone else of a differenet ethnicity, even if born in England. You're wrong.

  8. @jamiewoods7733  Wrong again. You said something blatantly wrong (English can be any colour), the discussion then widened to include nationality, ethnicity, etc. Don't backpedal now, Jamie. You were wrong, face it.
