Q) Why do you wish to aim the majority of your work at children?

A) Many English children are leading increasingly unruly and destructive lives. We believe children should be encouraged to know about their own cultural background. This is important for every multicultural society, and, more importantly, for its children, as those who grow up with a good sense of their own culture and cultural history are far more likely to succeed in life and to have a positive self-image even as they grow into adulthood. Children who come from the most deprived backgrounds are especially likely to benefit.

While the modern political trend is to promote the values, histories, and cultures of ethnic minorities in Britain, in the hope that this will create a harmonious multicultural society, this has meant that English culture has been downplayed, and in some schools it has been almost expunged from the curriculum. Many young English people know very little about their modern or ancient culture and consequently have lost not only any sense of their own identity but also the self respect and communal pride that flows from it. It is our intention to rectify this.

Q) But is there discrimination against the ethnic English? Can’t only ethnic minorities be discriminated against?

A) Discrimination is not based on the size of a community but on whether or not it is treated equally with other communities and given the same respect and legal protection. We would not want to see ethnic minorities being given less rights because they are less in number, and nor is it acceptable for the majority to be discriminated against on the basis that they are more numerically. Discrimination creates serious problems for a community regardless of its size, and thus is not acceptable in any situation or for any reason. Other communities rightly feel no guilt what so ever in fighting what they see as being discriminatory against them. When we attempt to tackle what we perceive to be as unfair against our community we should be judged as others are judged and not subject to double standards.

That the English suffer discrimination has in fact been recognized as a serious problem by the British government. One report by the Home Office Advisor Sir Keith Ajegbo has observed that white British children now suffer “labeling and discrimination”, resulting in a feeling of alienation, low self esteem, and resentment. In the long term this can lead to feelings of hopelessness, alcohol or drug abuse, and even domestic as well as other types of violence. Similarly, the Conservative Social Justice Policy Group has warned that White pupils from poor backgrounds (the vast majority of them English) are performing worse than any other ethnic group.

The report states that there is a danger of creating "an uneducated and unemployable underclass of forgotten children". As well as problems in education the report also highlights the economic difficulties confronting White (again mainly English) workers who are disproportionately employed in the declining manufacturing industry, and in other sectors where their livelihood has come under significant pressure from cheaper imported labour.

While the government has done much in the last decade to address the concerns of Britain’s many ethnic minority communities, instituting “positive discrimination” in different ways in employment and education, and encouraging ethnic minorities to celebrate their culture, it has failed to treat the ethnic English community in the same way. Indeed, the conscious erosion of English culture in England, the lack of English history lessons for school children, and increasing discrimination generally against the English seems to be increasing.
