I suppose you regard Cliff Richard as Indian because he was born in India?
Actually, an example closer to hand: my father was born in Lahore. Perhaps I'm half Paki. But Lahore had a British flag flying over it then. And then his father was born in Ireland. And I was born in Cambridge but one of my brothers was born in Cyprus. How confusing. Luckily it turns out that being British is a legal state which makes me, my father (long dead, the poor spud-eating Paki), my brother, Cliff Richard (peace be upon him) and this lad all British. If you don't like that, you can petition your MP to change the law.
