Those calling for a British born only BGT
Do you pay the same respects to Premier League football teams with foreign born players? Should only British born players play in British sports?

God no. British born footballers are tactically and skillfully inept and complete *******'s too (think John Terry and Rooney).

Really? Because I have heard a lot of people complain that the winners were not from the UK!
There's a difference between being born in another country but living and working in Britain rather than being born in another country and actually living there and not here.

Why oh why oh why is this so complex for some to get their tiny heads around.
It's so mind-numbingly simple: I'll even do it in big grown up writing for you: BRITAIN'S (Meaning something BELONGING TO BRITAIN) It is therefore misrepresentation and false advertising. Change the name or the policy as both just can't exist with people with even a basic grasp of English. |

Change the name or the policy as both just can't exist with people with even a basic grasp of English. The show is BASED in BRITAIN. The show contains mostly BRITISH acts. There is NO FALSE ADVERTISING. That would only apply if the show was called BRITAIN ONLY, HAS TALENT. |

Although I am glad Attraction won, as I've stated quite a number of times. I just find it odd given the title of the show etc Britain's Got Talent............are from Hungary. Just seems weird to me.

I'd rather they changed the name of the show, but after so many series, that would be most unwise.

Did we have the talent on our TV screens? YES
Are we in Britain? YES Does Britain have the talent? YES Is the British monarchy going to enjoy the talent the British have chosen? YES Is the show called Britain has the British resident talent? NO |

I don't think a salary was being paid to them, just a prize for the winner of the talent contest. I'm certain they aren't on a salary whilst they compete in a competition. ![]() Edit! Just googled and no the contestants do not get a salary. |

What about changing it to 'Are You Not Entertained?'. The quote from Gladiator. |
