Restore Britain Leader and MP Rupert Lowe has hit back at a cross-party bill to add “Black English” and “Asian English” as ethnicities to the census in the UK.
Liberal Democrat President Josh Babarinde introduced the ‘St George’s Bill’ with backing from former Labour deputy Prime Minister David Lammy and former Conservative Home Secretary James Cleverly.
Lowe said an English ethnic identity “obviously exists” and that pretending otherwise made “any honest discussion about demographic change impossible”.
The Wyvern Fellowship stated that allowing anyone to identify as English meant “in effect, that no one is English”. The group has lodged a police complaint accusing Babarinde of a hate crime.
