Has James's family background ever been gone into at all? I've often wondered if it has a bit of something mainland Europe in him. Nicky said the same once.

Not seeing the JDB resemblance...more the comedian Mark Thomas

On a serious note...it's not clear how effective he's being...but he does have the most impossible of jobs. It's maybe a strange irony that as the west comes together Ukraine looks and feels more isolated....but we don't want world war III....

He's managing to get the message out there and effective control the narrative but there are limits to what the west will do. Effectively Ukraine is being thrown to the wolves to be ripped a sunder, we wait for Russia to come knocking on our door. With every praise of the Ukrainians bravery and resilience, there are more dead Ukrainians on the floor. It's really saddening that despite the sanctions and choice tough words from our leaders, the conclusion seems inevitable, the death of a nation.

Possibly, but the influence of the basque country emigration is usually cited as the reason for making olive skinned, dark haired short arses. I, for one, welcome our olive skinned, dark haired short arses...

I've always thought he looks a bit Spanish when he's tanned .... definitely the right height

I've been listening to GT again. Finally see Little Baby Nothing in The Secret He Had Missed.
But got as far as So Dead and now want to play my own bass for a bit.

Maybe. Depends who you talk to. I'm Spanish so I know some history of spain and I know a shit ton of Spanish people from various regions. I've always thought James looks a bit Spanish and by that I mean from anywhere in Spain. Nowt wrong with saying that

To be honest, we don't know these guys personally, but judging from what we know about them, I'm sure James wouldn't hate to be associated to either ethnicity and would probably spontaneously laugh it off in his own manner. ♡

Yeah I think he's said he doesn't mind or doesn't mind the band being referred to as British. I don't want my comment to descend into a row about regional nationality. There's enough of that on Twitter! I'm a dual national and see myself as both. I like being both. There'll be others like me.
