About this Quote
In this quote, Lynn Redgrave is expressing her frustration with the idea that as a British person, she ought to not have a say in matters that impact her own country. She does not wish to be dismissed or told to leave if she voices her viewpoints or issues.

She is advocating for the value of being an active and engaged resident, rather than being silenced or omitted based upon one's background.
