sentinel has clearly not read my post very carefully. The terms ‘long-term settled majority ethnic group’ and ‘White British’ are not accepted as valid by myself but are used by the Joseph Rowntree Trust report that I heavily criticise in my post. I also describe how there is slippage in the report, whereby ‘white British’ comes to be applied exclusively to the English, which I also take issue with, as I regard it as making out that the English – though in the clear majority in England – should effectively be regarded as if they were just one ethnic group among many, without any special claim over England’s identity in cultural or ethnic terms. This would be the same as someone making out that, simply because they were in the majority in Cornwall, the Cornish have no special right of ‘ownership’, belonging or self-determination in their own country compared with people of other cultures or ethnicities.

I strongly disagree with the 2001 Census’s categories and have in fact written another post (http://britologywatch.wordpress.com/2007/09/07/is-uk-immigration-policy-designed-to-undermine-englishness/&gt where I propose a new set, which includes ‘Cornish’ alongside English, Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish.

Fantasy land – usual cobbled-up Britology crap.

There is no such legally recognised ‘ethnic group’ as quote, “long-term settled majority ethnic group”, which the author then decribes as being “i.e. the group classified in the 2001 census of England and Wales as ‘White British’”.

The term ‘White British’ applies to people of different backgrounds and origins, so by definition the term cannot refer to a single ethnic group. It is certainly not another word for ‘English’ – which is a term that the courts have ruled does not constitute an ‘ethnic group’.

So the terms ‘White British’, and ‘English’, do not refer to ‘ethnic’ groups and the author is clearly shown up to be a ‘White English’ exclusionist.

On a similar note you may know of the Council of Europe’s framework convention for the protection of national minorities a legal instrument that is supposed to offer protection to long term indigenous minority groups in the states that have signed and ratified it. The FCPNM is of obvious interest to the Cornish.

The UK has signed and ratified the FCPNM but in doing so they have claimed that only minority groups recognised by race relations act case law are covered by it. This has lead to the national majority group the English along with new minority groups (not national minorities) being recognised and covered. For example a member of the Han Chinese ethnic groups landing at Newquay airport will find that his billion strong ethnic group is recognised, protected and funded in Cornwall were as the indigenous Cornish national minority is not!

Curiously when Cornish campaigners asked who was covered by the FCPNM they where given the race relations act case law explanation by the UK government, however those self same campaigners couldn’t help but point out that the government had included other groups for FCPNM coverage that had never brought a successful case under the RRA.

As an aside David I notice a while ago you started to make reference to the Cornish question in some of your articles but that this is no longer the case. Is their any particular reason for this or just oversight?

Whether ‘native’ English culture will survive and prosper in a situation in which the minority-ethnic populations are growing faster than the ‘white-British’ population is a difficult question. I see it more as a dynamic process of cultural change, in any case, in which all the cultures of this country (by which, I mean England) will borrow from each other, as they have done since the waves of black and Asian migration in the 50’s and 60’s, in any case. One thing I am sure about, however, is that English culture and civilisation – including its Christian heritage, which I admit has not always been as tolerant as it should be – will be more affirmed and valued, including by racial minorities, if we have a government that actually regards being English as a good thing, and sees itself as a government for and of the English people.

The strongest voice will out though, and will come to control the state. I know it will not be the too too tolerant English, the question then, is will it be us, or will it be Osama’s buddies? Which do you prefer David?

I’m curious as to the reason for your disapproval, too?

The unease some English feel in Britain is down to their being dispossessed of what was (I admit) rightfully theirs – their homeland – by immigrant groups (including my own) imported by their government. Merely transferring government to a devolved (in both senses) England changes nothing, because the consciously English malcontents of the moment will continue to feel pressured and put-upon by the system you Witanagemotians say will replace Old Britannia: [an England which] belongs to all the ethnic minorities that have made it their home, too… ie. to all the world.

(I am talking, of course, about the English malcontents who actually matter, the racialists and nationalists, not the westlothianquestiongrumblers).

Whether it is Britain or England which enjoys a renaissance after the coming inevitable racial-religious strife and economic crash, it will need to be a self-conscious people with a will to power who take the reins. You, however, insist on treating our problem by applying a greater concentration of the ethnic division which caused our it in the first place! But what wouldn’t cure Old Britain will not cure Old England either.

You’re in for a rude awakening, happy boy! Islam is literally built to exploit that kind of weakness – so is the anti-racism meme which a certain desert tribe’s sociologists sold to you white folks, and only you white folks, expressly to destroy the civilisation I too happen to have inherited.

The post-collapse power vaccuum, then, will be filled either by the Ummah (Allah forbid!), or by the only other people in Britain with a will to survive, a functioning self/non-self awareness… and nowhere else to flee to: my Brotherhood – the Black British.

One day soon you’ll have to make the choice Englishman: Black Britain or Islamic Britain? It is the price you will pay for not choosing your own kind. We will not make the same mistake, and I trust you will join us, and help preserve what is left of the civilization we both peoples have inherited.

I think you are right about this. I don’t think the left wing project of New Britain PLC would abate even if Scotland were to become independent. The left in England have a vision of a utopian multicultural Britain grounded in a relabelled/rebranded English culture. Any ‘vision’ from the left (or right for that matter) should be treated with the greatest suspicion by ordinary people. The problem is that when Labour are thrown out at the general election what will we have instead? British nationalist Tories which hardly helps England. Both ‘multicultural’ Britain AND imperialist Britain have their sticky hands around the throat of England. I know the anglophobic media makes it very difficult for organisations like the CEP to get their point across but really far too many English people seem to have the perspicacity of a sedated sheep.
