The UK government’s official position is clear:
“The United Kingdom comprises four nations.”
Not having an English passport means nothing. The United Kingdom of Great Britain comprises of four nations.
Each nation has its own 'national identity'.
We don't refer to someone as a Britishman do we?
We generally refer to people residing in the UK as an Englishman, an Irishman, a Scotsman, a Welshman or an Ulsterman.
We do that because each are unique and distinct from one another. Thousands of years of history proves this to be the case, it's always been that way.
The census treats national identity as separate from citizenship and ethnicity.
I don't want English ethnicity changed into something it is not, something that defies thousands of years of history, and of course, science, and common sense.
English ethnicity is distinct in the same way as African ethnicity is also distinct.
I can't be 'ethnically' African, likewise an African can't be 'ethnically' English.
But is can be his national identity.
Identity matters.
Who knew?
English is a nationality as well as an ethnicity, one isnt the same as the other.
Nationality and ethnicity are different things.
How hard is this to understand?
I am an Englishman. I was born in England, and I will die in England.
I'm England till I die, I'm England till I die, I know I am I'm sure I am I'm England till I die.....
Andrew Rosindell MP for Reform UK is the first to sign and support Rupert Lowes motion to recognise the English, Scots, Welsh and https://t.co/LohCny3O45 and our ethnic identities
Well done Sir , lets hope many more will come forward to sign after all they are working for the British people in Parliament you would have thought this was important not only for the protection of their own families ethnicity going forward but the look of it as the people wait to see who is actually on the peoples side and voted in by them to represent them ?
🚨 BREAKING: Reform’s Robert Jenrick pledges Black Country will become Britain’s first industrial stronghold
• Speaking at a rally in Wolverhampton, Jenrick said the region would be the first “industrial stronghold” if Reform wins the next election. It would cover Cannock, Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall and Wolverhampton.
• The plans include 10 years of free business rates, tax relief on brownfield regeneration, relaxed planning rules and cuts to National Insurance contributions. The approach is modelled on 1980s enterprise zones.
• Jenrick said the Black Country still has a resilient manufacturing base, substantial brownfield land ready for redevelopment, and strong motorway links via the M5, M6 and M54. He argued the incentives would help reindustrialise the area.
• He told the rally: “By enabling these businesses, by getting out of their way, we will bring industry back to this country. And the very first one in Britain will be in and around the Black Country.”
BURNHAM CLAIMS THE BOATS ARE STOPPED
At PMQs, Andy Burnham was asked to promise Gosport residents their town will not be used to land small boats again, after the government failed to tell locals, protests followed and police and taxpayers were left with a bill of more than £800,000.
He gave no such promise. Instead he claimed his government "has been successful in stopping small boat crossings".
More than 20,000 have crossed the Channel this year. The boats have not stopped. They are just being landed in new towns.
Well done and thanks to Andrew Rosendell and Suella Braverman for backing Rupert’s motion on the recognition and preservation of English, Scottish, Welsh, and Northern Irish ethnic identities.
“The English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish are historic peoples with distinct ethnic identities.”
Rupert Lowe just requested a parliamentary debate on Britain’s demographic future.
In my son’s Year 6 class, only two children are of foreign descent.
That is normal.
That’s still a place where English is the default, British culture is normal, and parents can still recognise the classroom they grew up in.
The North East still has these areas.
Luton, Rotherham and large parts of London already don’t.
Restore Britain should be pouring resource into holding the ground that is still ours, not just fighting over what’s already gone.
Do you think the political class will ever admit the obvious about demographic change, or will they keep pretending ethnicity doesn’t matter until the classrooms are changed forever?

Rupert Lowe - ONGOING: He calls for British aid to stop for countries demanding slavery reparations.
Rupert Lowe, the MP who leads Restore Britain, has a motion before Parliament rejecting apologies and compensation for Britain's historical involvement in slavery.
His argument is that people paying tax today should not owe compensation for the actions of previous generations.
He also asks MPs to recognise Britain's work against the slave trade, including the Royal Navy's interception of slave ships and the sailors who died doing that work.
The proposed response goes beyond refusing a payment: Lowe calls for all British aid, development assistance and taxpayer-funded grants to end when a country's government formally demands reparations.
Citizens of countries advancing those demands would also be refused new UK visas under his proposal.
Rupert Lowe and Restore Britain deserve support for defending today's taxpayers against an inherited bill and stating the government action they want, plainly enough for MPs to support or oppose.
This is a parliamentary motion seeking support for those demands, with no debate date fixed.
Its signature list still contains one name: Lowe's.
We deserve more from the arts.
Remove the deviant child obsessed pedos the media were so obsessed with and offer audiences great entertainment again.
This laddish bullshit is vomit inducing and criminal.
BREAKING: The suspect believed to be behind this morning’s deadly shooting in Washington, D.C., has shot himself after spending more than an hour talking with police negotiators.
Officials spent more than an hour talking with the suspect while he barricaded himself inside an apartment building.
“Just moments ago, while communicating with that individual, officers heard a gunshot. As a response to that, officers forced entry into the apartment.”
“When they did that, they located the suspect suffering from a gunshot wound.”
Yes, it was the rational thinking man's response to an utterly irrational and by the way illegal operation, conducted and facilitated by those paid to protect us.
I support Danny Tommo.

They must say 'Winter Market'
Why does multi-culturalism mean destroying our culture?
Today, the Earl of Courtown asked the Foreign Office Minister, Baroness Winterton, why the UK nominated Iran to be a member of the UN Committee for Programme and Coordination, a UN Committee with responsibilities on human rights.
The Minister said Iran is “unfit” to serve on the Committee but failed to explain why the UK nominated Iran in the first place.
🚨BREAKING: Texas just opened a major investigation into voter fraud following the midterms “blue wave” — and officials are looking into 30,000 cases.
This isn’t a rumor. It’s an official move, and the numbers are huge. What happens next could be massive.
