The English have been in England for far longer than the Maoris have been in New Zealand or modern ‘Turks’ have been in Turkey. Neither of those groups have their identity denied or questioned.

There is a distinct and identifiable English gene as genetic research shows.

Denying our existence (Whilst telling us our identity and existence is problematic) is nothing short of ethnocide.

In the UK, an abused white child is in Labour Authority care in Bradford.
She has a Muslim abuser who began abusing her when she was 13.
Her key Social Worker is a Muslim.
Her Muslim Social Worker arranges a Muslim wedding between the white child and her Muslim abuser when she is 15.
The "husband" forced the victim to wear Islamic dress, eat a halal diet and stopped her from seeing her family because they were “non-believers.” He was also reported to have sometimes locked the victim in a cellar, sexually abused her, sexually exploited her and deprived her of food, education and medical care.
Not a single Labour Politician said a word.
The police eventually interviewed her Social Worker but failed to bring a case against him.
But when a celeb is on trial, Labour politicians queue up to be interviewed on the subject because they all care soooo much about protecting women.
But the hypocrites did not give a toss about a little abused white child, after all, she could not vote could she?
But all of her Muslim abusers could.

[Andrew Rosindell MP 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @AndrewRosindell]

This morning I signed EDM 1160 tabled by @RupertLowe10 about the recognition and preservation of English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish ethnic identities. Since then, my Reform UK colleague @SuellaBraverman has also signed the EDM.

I believe that we are privileged to have a common British identity that we must all cherish and defend, but within the United Kingdom there are four nations that are a home to distinct native ethnic groups formed from early Saxon, Angle, Celtic and Norse peoples.

I also believe that efforts to obscure the existence of these ethnic groupings through the conflation of citizenship can only serve to deepen divisions and deny the native peoples of these islands their own unique identities.

Some on the left will have an alternative view, but this is the very reason that Parliament exists, to hold meaningful and uninhibited debate on these issues within the chamber of @HouseofCommons 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧

@PatriciaLongw10 A bargain😍

[Ayaan Hirsi Ali @Ayaan]

More than €40 million in EU funding. Organizations linked to the Muslim Brotherhood. And a network extending into European political institutions.

The question is not just where the money went, but how much influence it helped buy.

@CharlotteCGill How about flying to Newcastle or Manchester then hire car, or coach?

Less than 60% of pupils in English schools are White British and just over half of births in England and Wales are White British.

It is very demographically plausible that White Britons will become a minority around the 2050s or 2060s.

No one is debunking this unless a combination of the following occur:

1) The White British birth rate substantially improves in the coming decades and other ethnic groups don't

2) Gross immigration (not net migration) essentially falls to zero and stays there

3) Substantial numbers of migrants end up leaving the country

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

Big news. We have our first MP supporter on my motion to recognise and preserve English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish ethnic identities.

@AndrewRosindell, Reform MP. The first of many, I am hoping.

We will not have our identity erased - we will fight for it in parliament.

[Rafe Heydel-Mankoo @RafHM]

Rubbish. Your bill is called the "English ETHNIC Identity Bill"

You criticised the flying of the English flag. Now you seek to deny the English their unique ethnicity, their ultimate & most intrinsic identity

Denying a group their ethnic heritage contributes to "cultural genocide" or "ethnocide" according to the 1944 definition

Polling shows that ALMOST ALL ethnic minorities in England still understand that "English" is a fundamentally ethnic identity to which they do not belong

It is only certain parts of the White British community - and activists like yourself - who seek to engage in ethnic erasure

Such a large percentage of White British people disagree with you, that it is dangerous to go down this needless path

Acts like yours are the reason for the growth of ethno-nationalism, not to mention political extremism. Their rise is a direct reaction to needless provocation from leftist elites

If one is born and raised in England, a person may be culturally English -- but that is wholly distinct and separate from being ethnically English. The two should not be conflated.

The two identities - ethnically English and culturally English - have happily co-existed for generations - with the historically tiny culturally English understanding their status and preferring to identity as civically and legally "British" rather than English.

This was done partly out of respect for the ethnic English, who accounted for 92% of the population of England as recently as 1991. But it was also because they naturally identified with their own ethnic group.

This is the only correct view. By way of illustration:

An Englishman born and raised in Japan, who was brought up in Japanese culture and who speaks Japanese with a flawless Japanese accent is clearly culturally Japanese -- but he remains ethnically English. That is an immutable characteristic.

In contrast with England, however, an immigrant to Japan can also be legally Japanese. Japan is a sovereign country of which he is a passport-holding citizen.

So this Englishman is culturally and legally Japanese but he is clearly not ethnically Japanese. I'd wager that 99%+ of Japanese people would agree with this - they'd say it was blindingly obvious

There is such an Englishman in Japan, actually. His name is Joshua Thomson, and he is a sensation for precisely this reason. He identifies as culturally Japanese but acknowledges he is not ethnically Japanese

But Englishness is an even more exceptional case. Unlike Japan, England is not a sovereign nation. It has no citizenship or passports. There is no nationality law.

One may be culturally English - as, say, the footballer Ian Wright is. But Ian Wright can no more be ethnically English than he (or anyone) can be legally English.

So that begs the question: what is the point of doing this?

What is behind this dangerous, provocative and completely unnecessary desire to erase / undermine English ethnicity, by far the most historically significant and consequential identity for creating the England we know and love?

Ethnic minorities are not calling for it. Poling shows that a mere 10% identify as English. The rest identify either as British or of the ethnicity of their ancestral homeland.

If anyone still believes the myth that the Liberal Democrats are a "centrist" party of "moderates" - falling somewhere between the Tories and Labour - this reprehensible policy by one of their MPs must surely blast it to smithereens.

Economically they may be more centrist than Labour - but culturally they are every bit as reckless and dangerous.

[Matt Goodwin @GoodwinMJ]

In no other country does the political class work this hard to deny the ethnic majority exists.

Politicians are trying to politicise the census, gloss crucial differences that exist among minorities, and tell the English they have no ethnicity of their own.

If you want to keep dividing British society along the lines of race and ethnicity then keep telling the ethnic majority they have no right to remain a distinctive group while every other group has this right.

Lucy Powell of “dog whistle” grooming gangs fame, has discovered white working class kids.

"Too many are falling behind at every stage of their education," says the Education Secretary.

Her own Civil Service runs racist schemes that those same kids are barred from applying for!

[The State of Britain @stateofbritain1]

The Cabinet Office wouldn't tell MPs last year how much it pays social media influencers, saying it could harm firms' business interests. Today a Labour minister gave the figure: £692,882 of taxpayers' money, between July 2024 and November 2026.

The Cabinet Office is the department at the heart of government. Your money, spent paying influencers to push government campaigns at you.

[Matt Goodwin @GoodwinMJ]

If you want to see the English people mobilise like never before then keep telling them they can’t wave their flag, they can’t celebrate who they are, they can only celebrate diversity, and they have no distinctive ethnicity of their own. No other group is treated this way.

[Darren Grimes @darrengrimes]

US air bases were comfortable being in Britain during the Cold War, but feel they cannot stay in Britain with a threat of home grown Islamist terror. Does this not speak volumes about how fast and firm the change in Britain has been?

REVEALED: An illegal Albanian drugs criminal has won the right to stay in Britain, six years after the Home Office ordered his deportation.

He spent a year in Belgium without claiming asylum, came to Britain in a lorry, and was jailed for growing cannabis within a year.

He didn’t claim asylum here until 2025. It was refused. The judge rejected all of his claims, including that he was trafficked and that his family was caught up in a blood feud in Albania.

But the Home Office failed to provide any evidence that his drugs offence caused harm, and quoted a 2007 Gordon Brown speech instead.

The judge said a “standard few paragraphs” from a police officer would have been “more than sufficient” to deport him. https://t.co/m1YjmRoveT
