'Both his parents were born in Manchester, his mother to an Irish mother and English father and his father to a British Jewish mother and a Black American father.'.......And he's Standing for UKIP?
Clever lad tho, coming from Moss Side and becoming a Barrister.
Mixed heritage doesn't bar you from wanting the best for your country. Leaving things to the last moment and then encountering problems is always an issue with the JIT philosophy though. And not being squeaky clean can cause problems with one's career path.

No, but it should have a moral bearing on implementing policies which, had they been in existence for his Grandparents, might have meant he wasn't even born.
And therefore not there to worry about it. I'm unsure what moral implications are in this case. Is the idea that someone sometime got in so everyone always now must be able to or it is deemed immoral ?

I didn't know that UKIP was going to put a ban on reproduction.
No the idea is not 'that someone sometime got in so everyone always now must be able to or it is deemed immoral'.
The idea is that's it's rather hypocritical to implement policies that might have meant the person implementing them might not have been alive to make them in the first place. Ironic, you might say.
I can understand the thought that it might be ironic, just, but I see no hypocrisy. Conditions change; and one is not responsible for events that happened before one was around, or had any say/control.
AOG, if it's too difficult a concept for you your quite at liberty to ignore me. If the moral implications and irony of being a complete hypocrite escapes you please move on.
