Josh Babarinde wants to change the law so that nonwhite people would be able to identify as English on the census form. But anyone can already identify as any ethnicity that they pleased on the census form. Has anyone ever checked up on yours? Well, there you are, then.
Nigerians in Sunderland might tick the English box in order to avoid being melted down and used to fill in the potholes, although that Glenn Gibbins became a councillor only because he fancied a bit of extra income had nothing to do with his being a member of Reform UK.
And Kashim Chowdhury might have done better if he had been a member of Reform, a party funded by Short Money, which until recently had a full-time Head of Policy who was also a full-time Associate Professor at Cambridge, a directly publicly funded position.
But if the State could not tell that a job applicant was already a civil servant several times over, then it would certainly not be able to ascertain that everyone who said that they were English really was.
