ABSTRACT
In 1990, Conservative MP Norman Tebbit made his now infamous speech regarding citizenship, belonging, and the ethnic and national identities of migrant groups in Britain. He proposed that being a British citizen and taking up residence in England should preclude any continuing connection and affiliation with the nation(s) of one’s ancestry. Speaking before a Test match between England and India, he stated that:
If you come to live in a country and take up the passport of that country, and you see your future and your family’s future in that country, it seems to me that is your country. You can’t just keep harking back.
