Claiming 'ethnicity relates to culture, not race or skin colour' is intellectually dishonest and harmful. Ethnicity isn't a pick-and-mix civic test. It's descent, shared history, kinship, and cultural continuity passed down generations, measurable in genetics and lived experience. English ethnicity exists (Anglo-Saxon roots & Celtic admixture & continuity in the British Isles) just as Pakistani, Scottish, or Welsh does. Telling English people their ethnicity is 'just culture' anyone can claim via behaviour/laws while other groups retain ancestral ethnic labels (and celebrate them) is a blatant double standard. A Pakistani-heritage person can fully adopt English culture, get citizenship, and be British, but they aren't ethnically English, any more than my child born in Italy to English parents would be ethnically Italian. This framing doesn't promote unity; it erases the indigenous English as a distinct people with legitimate group interests, while minorities' ethnic identities remain intact and often officially recognised. That's why it breeds resentment and feels like an attack on English roots. We need honest recognition of all ethnicities, not redefining one out of existence to fit a civic-only model. Of the mainstream parties, no one is suggesting all non-ethnically English people be deported.

No one sane denies: 1. There is an indigenous English, Scots, Welsh and Irish ethnicity. 2. These historic ethnicities are something to protect and celebrate. My mother is blond blue eyed English and descended from the best of English. My grandfather fought in the Somme. His father was a vicar. I love England. 3. Ethnic identity cannot be bought by buying a passport. 4. White English, Scots, Welsh and Irish have been deliberately set aside by mass migration, multiculturalism and discrimination in favour of foreign ethnic minorities. This is the work of the anti-nation illiberal global order. 5. We must deport all foreigners who should not be here or have broken the law or those that refuse to assimilate. 6. Benefits should be withdrawn from all foreigners. 7. All attempts to enter the country illegally should be blocked by force. BUT underpinning a political party’s philosophy on ethnonationalism is wrong. It would create a underclass of British citizens who love the United Kingdom and would die for it, me included. I love the United Kingdom and England. I love everything about who we are. I would die for England. I am not alone. Our Empire was the greatest ever known. All people in the Empire were British subjects. Ethnonationalism stands in opposition to our political history. The country faces huge challenges. These cannot be addressed by blunt ethonationslism. A political party must base its philosophy on protecting all parts of the United Kingdom and all its people. I am British. I am English.

Great to meet the amazing and respectful Sir Oink A lot from the Raving Looney Party. 👍👍

This is Reform's choice for Home Secretary, their choice to lead the police. This man tried to put Rupert Lowe in prison on false allegations. Because of his lies, Rupert's family home was raided by armed police. Yusuf is a disgrace, and should be nowhere near that power.
