Talk:English independence

Cite your sources
Just a nudge that unless the material in this article can be attributed to a reliable source within the next day or two, I plan to remove all unsourced content; possibly redirecting the page to English nationalism. It is time to cite your sources please. --Jza84 | Talk  17:01, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Keep this page as it is something I agree on!

Removed false claims of support
I've removed several claimed supporters of English independence from the "Supporters of English Independence" section.


 * Several of them were unsourced, and appeared to be based on the assumption that (for example) a supporter of Scottish independence would necessarily support English independence. This is nonsense, and ignores the fact that there are four constituent nations of the UK.  It is entirely consistent for a supporter of (say) Scottish independence to say that the status of Wales, Northern Ireland and England is a matter for the populations of those countries, and therefore to hold no view on the matter.
 * The reference quoted for Michael Portillo was to a YouTube video where he was chairing a discussion and clearly posing devil's-advocate questions, not expressing a personal view.
 * The reference quoted for Billy Bragg was to an article where he was advocating regional devolution, which is completely different from English independence. The fact that he was writing in the context of the Scottish independence referendum is a red herring.

As a comment above suggests, cite your sources - and don't misrepresent what they say. - Mortonhall (talk) 12:59, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

Census information
Should the reflection on the supposed decline in English identity from the 2011 to 2021 censuses not reflect that the survey design changed from 2011 to 2021, putting English below British as an option? This likely influenced the result. New Sarumite (talk) 19:14, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
