I Am The One In Nine

I was not born in the United Kingdom.

But I was born in a British Overseas Territory.

So (although the terminology would have been different) were the original West Indian arrivals after the War, who came here on exactly the passports that their new neighbours would have had if they had ever gone anywhere.

The same is true of the East African Asians.

Among others, of course.

Where people were born is, so to speak, neither here nor there.
