@james_thomps @RupertLowe10 Just do what Russia and China do. Recognise ethnic groups/ethnos with some leeway for people not originally of that stock to incorporate themselves into the identity at a cultural level, whilst still upholding that the native group exists.

[Alan ✴ @AlanXee]

This is just sensible.
Most countries, especially multi-ethnic confederations such as ours recognise the rights of both native/indigenous groups as well as other groups living there.
Can't have a situation where one group's identity is vibes but everyone else gets a concrete one.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

I have tabled a parliamentary motion officially calling on the Government to recognise and protect English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish ethnicities as distinct historic identities.

We should never be ashamed to defend who we are.

All MPs have been invited to support.

@tifastarr Depends who you are.
If you're a lesbian, being in a room with 50 other lesbians is like being dropped in a Battle Royale.

@commontruth_ This was a choice of course.
Liberals like to make out that leaving the EU caused all of this.
Selling out to foreign countries isn't an inevitable result of leaving Europe, it was a choice and a malicious one by greedy, capitalist elites who see our nation as plunder not a home.

[Alan ✴ @AlanXee]

@commontruth_ Brexit was the right decision but a squandered opportunity. Our elites saw it as an opportunity to sell us out to other countries abroad, namely America more than previously when it could've been used to ingrain further sovereignity, nationalise key industries and produce more.

A bit slop-ish but the Blair-Cameron pipeline was the final nail in the coffin for this country, one so locked in on a manufactured two-party system.
To take Labour, what was supposedly a party born of the labour movement and with socialism as its end goal and turn it into "we

Whiggism, Disraelism, etc all that baggage marks it down as always being a hyper-capitalist party whose 'traditionalism' and conservatism always ebbed and flowed depending on it market forces, capital wanted those things or not. It was always going to be impossible to conserve

I am unsure how denying the ethnic identity of the native population is going to help end a decade of division.

[Alan ✴ @AlanXee]

anything that would get in the way of profit motives.

Thatcher, Blair and Cameron are simply in-your-face, vocal and easy to pinpoint examples of the decline of this nation and its two-party system. They're good as emblems of the decline but it didn't start with them.

@commontruth_ @TalkTV I mean, they are. Just not females.

@commontruth_ @k6aip Supporting Irish Unification, Welsh successionism (ridiculous and unworkable but still) and Scottish nationalism is defacto supporting England as a sovereign state.

@Welsh__Laurie If you can make them do "community work" you can turn that into a job which pays the national minimum wage.

This is how Conservatives, anti-English rad libs and leftcoms see and have always seen the British working class, by the way.

@MiyaSnezhevich @dragebein Many people, myself included see him more as a man who the fascists took some of their ideas from when developing their ideology rather than a man who was fascist. Afterall, Mussolini also drew some of his ideas from the Bolsheviks too.

[Alan ✴ @AlanXee]

@MiyaSnezhevich @dragebein Whilst he is partially credited with helping develop a proto-fascist ideology whilst in the national party, due to his aesthetic influences as well as Italian nationalism, he thought of himself as a man of the left, held mostly progressive views, denounced fascism, etc.
