“I was born in the UK, have lived here my whole life, this is the only home I've ever known, but I'm not ethnically English, I'm Pakistani, my ethnicity is rooted in South East Asia, and I refuse to erase that fact from my identity.”

Omg bro you keep repeating yourself. In a debate, have you ever heard of addressing a situation on someone else’s promise. You’re saying mass migration bad and yet the progressives have always advocated to immigration: nothing about mass. And the Boris wave came from the Tories. Find me a single activist or person who said “mass immigration is a…

Im using the royal “we” talking about society I just want to point out that you're misusing "Royal We" there. Like, it's literally the opposite. a small sect of internet loonball racists might think. My history novice in Christ, you seriously underestimate the number of loonball racists in this country. It’s just a statement of fact. This "fact"…

The fuck are you on about India is South Asia, so are the rest of those countries

Yeah, it led to English being a thing. Right then, let's go out and fight a few civil wars and kill half the Indians who have moved here then

I mean you really can keep going back with it if you want. The Celts likely supplanted the Beaker Peoples, who themselves supplanted the Neolithic Farmers, who themselves supplanted the Western Hunter Gatherers...

One issue is many assume that, for a term to be genuine, it needs strict necessary and sufficient conditions. That's a logical error. Some people are clearly ethnically English and some clearly aren't, but like most terms there isn't a single hard-and-fast definition. There are inevitably grey areas. Hence why asking Lowe whether King Charles is…

No. I don't think that believing in anything, or holding any values at all, has anything to do with your ethnicity and nationality. You can be English and believe profoundly in Liberty, Egality and Fraternity, you can be French and detest those things, indeed I'd argue that Le Pen does. People are wildly different, and hold different beliefs and…

It's politically convenient for them to ignore history and basic facts so they'll do so. Progressives are more than happy to ignore logic, facts, history or even the most basic of reasoning if it serves them politically or in an argument. Consistency and being correct doesn't matter to them at all, winning the argument and progressing their goals…

England is a region in the UK, and if you were born and raised there, you are English. exactly the same as people who and reared in Wales are Welsh etc. They are also British, which is also the word used collectively for people from the UK even though NI isn't in Great Britain (but not for the Irish-identifying Nordies). Just slap the label…

No it doesnt. Those independent nations havent existed since the Qin dynasty which predates England by 1000 years. England continues to exist as a nation. Hence both ethnic and cultural identities.

But that brown person from your town knows what an ethnic English person is, just as they know their own ethnic origins. So why haven't you listened to them?

I don’t know why these people try and deny this when there’s people in the very same conversation doing it. There’s a reason someone like fucking Adnan Hussain has come out and even said it. They realise the backlash that is going to happen if people keep trying to tell English people they aren’t actually a people.

British is a legal and national identity yes but there is nation called England which has a political identity, it for a long time has and it didn't cease in 1707. I would like England's MPs to take part in that identity and if it doesn't feel as strong as it once did that's all the more reason to rally around it. Braverman particualy is cowardly…
