Good god, is there a BNP handbook that has a list of stock bullshit like this? 

 

Quite a good analogy I thought.  Could come up with a few...

If he did not actually steal it and the shopkeeper has it in her possession why would he have to pay for it? Bizarre.

Several more off-topic troll and argumentative posts have been removed from this thread.

He did steal it though , from the photos , seems that he still has it .

Maybe he paid for it (in the end)?

Your Children were born in Thailand, are they Thai ?

Walk it off.  You'll live--hopefully somewhere other than Thailand.

"If he was born in Ireland, or he has an Irish passport, he is Irish. "BS.

That is what the law says ,not how Irish people see it.

Nobody will call your Thai wife ( with Irish passport) an Irish -lady, everybody will 

speak about a Thai-lady,because she really is . Don't hide behind stupid laws .

Much easier to hide behind prejudice, bigotry and intolerance, eh...

I fail to see why calling it the way it is can be bigotry or intolerance.  Nothing racist at all just a simple fact that an Arab born in Ireland of Arabic parents will not be considered Irish no more than if an Arab born to Arab parents in Thailand would be considered Thai.  Would an Irishman born to Irish parents be considered a Saudi if born there whilst his parents were expats?  Think African-Americans - many generations down the line they consider themselves to be classified something other than just American.  What about the Indian community here - many generations  and still consider themselves as Indians - damn sure the Thais do.

 

Living here and being used to being racially abused on a daily basis doesn't bother me or my western friends one bit, it is simply the way it is.  Suck it up.

You do not decide another's nationality.

 

That is their decision.

 

If the passport says they are British, then British they are.

We're all getting hung up on his name but knowing The Sun they probably just spelt his name wrong.

 

Probably Wall Heed Bradley. A very common name in the Newcastle area.

It always baffles me when people think that when you live on Belfast or another part of Northern Ireland then you are Irish.

You are not. You are a British subject. You may have dual nationality...but if you live in N Ireland then you hold a British passport. 

 

Do you not know that N Ireland is part of the UK? We sure do.....

So you must be Irish by that reply as it typifies the generalisation commonly known

It's not their decision at all. It is the decision and law of the authorities in the country of birth.

Good, then you agree that as this man has a British passport, he is British.

 

If he has a passport, then the law and authorities must have agreed he is British.

 

Glad we cleared that up.

Well I'm glad we cleared that up too. You've been telling everyone for half of this thread that he's Irish.
