English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published
The rhetoric of a British politician has sparked controversy by referring to his voters as "mongrels," a term historically used in a derogatory manner.
## The Politician and His Speech
**Jacob Rees-Mogg**, a British political figure, has used the term "mongrel" to describe the English population. This statement, made in the context of a debate on national identity and military service, has generated various reactions. Rees-Mogg has also suggested that those who do not wish to participate in a hypothetical conflict against **Russia** should be "locked up."
## The Narrative in Ireland
The same terminology has emerged in **Ireland**, where concern has been expressed that referring to the population as "mongrels" seeks to erode the idea that the Irish are a people with a right to their own country. It is argued that this narrative, as in the British case, could be designed to strip the population of their sense of belonging and territorial claim.
