English People: English Nationality: Relationship to Britishness
Hi, I'm not familiar with process but have noticed what I believe to be an error in the above section which reads as follows:

"It is unclear how many British people consider themselves English. In the 2001 UK census, respondents were invited to state their ethnicity, but while there were tick boxes for 'Irish' and for 'Scottish', there were none for 'English', or 'Welsh', who were subsumed into the general heading 'White British'.[16] Following complaints about this, the 2011 census was changed to "allow respondents to record their English, Welsh, Scottish, Northern Irish, Irish or other identity."[17]"

This seems to imply that English Ethnicity was given a tick box of its own in the 2011 Census Form. This not true. The Development Form did have the tick box in question up to the time when the British Parliament arbitrarily removed it at the last minute by without explanation. There was NO Ethnic English tick box included in the 2011 England and Wales Census Questionnaire. Instead Question 16 was amended to "What Is Your Ethnic Group" with a prompt A. WHITE followed by a tick box for the group English/ Welsh/ Scottish/ Northern Irish/ British. The 2011 England and Wales Household Census Questionnaire thus denied Ethnic English people in England the right to identify their English ethnicity whereas the 2011 Scotland Household Census Form did provide an English tick box for ethnic English people living in Scotland. http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20160105160709/http://ons.gov.uk/ons/guide-method/census/2011/how-our-census-works/how-we-took-the-2011-census/how-we-collected-the-information/questionnaires--delivery--completion-and-return/index.html

Census statistics have since been used to support a variety of misinformation, not least that Ethnic English people no longer exist in England and therefore should not be considered an Ethnic Group. This affects all future British Government ethnic community funding. I hope that this can be amended here as a matter of urgency. Jackcropper (talk) 00:17, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
