Restore Britain's Radical Demographic Policy (Connor Tomlinson)

Restore Britain has published a paper on the definition of British identity. They recognise the English, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish as the indigenous "historic majority population of Britain" — the Britons. Under a Restore government, their continuity and demographic security would be the primary consideration in all immigration, integration, and citizenship policies.

"England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are not administrative units on a spreadsheet – they contain historic communities with identities, traditions, and connections to place stretching back generations... The English exist. The Welsh exist. The Scots exist. The Northern Irish exist... Citizenship determines legal membership of the state. Ethnicity, culture, ancestry, and belonging describe different aspects of our identity. National identity and ancestral continuity are not the same thing."

While British citizenship would entitle anyone to equal protections under law, it would not give them the same primary consideration that native Britons enjoy by the British state. "Having at least one British-born parent represents a tangible inter-generational connection to this country that a Restore Britain government will legitimately recognise in appropriate areas of national policy." This includes preventing immigrants from claiming welfare benefits and living in social housing, even if they gain citizenship. You can't come to someone else's country and expect a handout.

Restore would also conduct a mass review of citizenship grants, issued at record rates in recent years, and revoke them where appropriate. They commit to a moratorium on citizenship grants, except for "minimal numbers" given to immigrants from approved countries who marry British citizens. Third world countries like India, Pakistan, Somalia, Afghanistan, and Eritrea will be proscribed by the Red List. Millions of people from those countries already in Britain would be returned home. "Mass deportations, remigration, net negative immigration – call it whatever you want. That is Restore Britain’s position on immigration, and it will not change."

This is a sensible distinction that matches my own. You can have foreign heritage, possess a British passport, and live among us as an adopted member of our national family if we want you to. But that does not mean the British people cease to exist as distinct ethnic groups, with a unique claim to the land and entitlement to primary consideration by their nation-state.



A key point raised right at the very end is when Connor points out that this policy is intended to prevent the native people of UK from becoming a hated minority in their own country.
