    I think he legitimately just used the completely wrong wording, (because of course he did) but the interpretation I got from the actual raw text was that he was differentiating between native-born citizens, and people who applied to become citizens, but didn't come in through other immigration/visa processes.

    So essentially, implying that you're only a "true" British person if your parents were British, and you were born in Britain. So even if you, for instance, applied for citizenship, waited years, got it, moved there, got a job, bought a house, etc, then if you, say, shoplift, you get deported almost instantly, but if you were born in Britain, you'd just get the usual legal treatment.

    At least, that's what I assumed he meant based on the other context.

      Let's be real, the test is entirely based on us-foreign-policy and people whose family have been living in TERF island for centuries will be kicked out while white Americans who moved there last week won't be touched.

      Two generations back of deportations? That's... A lot. I'm not entirely sure there would be a huge amount of Britain left.

      I'd get deported even though only one parent would be an immigrant (while the other half of my family has a long history of being in the British navy >.> ). Not that I live in the UK anymore, and if Tate ever got elected the society we'd live in would be both very different and one I wouldn't want to live in.

        Well, he's not exactly too specific, I have no clue if it's 2 generations or just the most recent one, or if he meant something completely different altogether. It is, after all, essentially just an incoherent manifesto probably typed up in a few hours to make him feel good about his supposed impact on the world.

          I meant like... So many people have at least one non-UK-born parent, requiring at least two generations of natural-born-citizenship for someone to stay. Sorry for poor wording. (also he wasn't born in the UK I think?).

          Yeah, it does vibe with getting blackout drunk and posting to facebook.
