Have you ever completed a census?

Yes, I've done quite a few. From your link, it looks like they recently added "English" as a subsection of "white" in 2011 (it used to just say "British"). Anyway, as far as I would understand it, the ethnicity in the link above is "white". I don't think Sunak was saying he was ethnically white, but that his national identity was English - not that I'm defending him in any way - as mentioned above, he's a bell-end.

Children born in Wales and adults who've lived here for much of their life are Welsh as far as I and most people I know are concerned. Fuck off with your ethno-nationalist cretinism.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
