Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Jim Waterson fingers Harringay Warehouse based estate agent for stirring racial hatred
In another effective piece of investigative Journalist Jim Waterson of London Centric has discovered that a small estate agency in a single storey office near the chimney of the former Maynards factory off Eade Road has been linked with an unpleasant series of mendacious TikTok videos that claimed illegal immigrants were being housed in expensive housing at the taxpayer's cost.
See a short video and read more at London Centric.

Thanks Hugh; the story is a credit to the dogged, persistent work of London Centric.
The username of the now-deleted TikTok account "Reform_UK_2025" bares an uncanny resemblance to a certain entity registered at Companies House (here).
The account was likely run by a Reform supporter and not by the company itself.
Partly to the lack of effective or meaningful opposition from the New Labour Government, the political Party linked to this company is currently doing well in political opinion polls. The Putin-admiring Farage—along with fellow demagogue Trump—would be delighted.

I don't know what to think anymore. Driving back from Dorset this summer the satnav took me off the M25 and through West Drayton, past two huge hotel protests and avenues of Union Jacks. My Deliveroo person is very rarely the same as the one on the account, I always tip if I get a smile, sometimes I get scowled at. I sat next to a woman on a flight back from Hong Kong last year who was a teacher at a private school in West London. I told her that I had seen a video put out by some right wing twitter account showing teachers trying to get men to stop hanging around outside a school and I thought that was just people trying to stir up trouble. She said (paraphrasing) :oh no, it's every day. We can't get the police or the council to do anything about it. Usually Albanian men". Who know's what's real?
One thing I do know is that we put recent migrants to the UK in social housing, ahead of locals. In 48% of inner London social housing, the lead tenant was not born in Britain. This is the kind of thing Reform will win the next election with. From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs was great when we had empty housing, it's not so great now. My point is, they don't even need to do this. The British Electorate has voted for less immigration for decades, that was the main reason many people voted Brexit.
If you don't believe me about that stat, just put the question to an AI. He will no doubt equivocate "but many of those people have citizenship!".

Anecdotes are just that - they are perception not "evidence". The 48%of people in social housing is only little more than the percentage of Londoners born abroad - 41% according to the 2021 census. You are probably right about people's views on immigration, influenced as they are by political propaganda, media bias, and perceptions borne out of historically fostered prejudice. As the anti-NF slogan went in the 1980s - "We are here because you were there". This country would not be what it is now, good or ill, if it were not for four centuries of empire, and the children of empire come in every hue, just as the ancestors of everyone living in the UK came on a boat or a plane.

You try getting your streets or your office cleaned, your social care , your nursing care, your medical care, your any number of other services done without people who either weren't born here or one of whose parents weren't born here - see how you do then.

All roles that could have been done by English people. You do realise that we had cleaners, nursery assistants, care workers and delivery drivers before the era of mass migration. These are the jobs that were done by young people or others without the skills or inclination needed to do higher value jobs.
We now wonder why our own young people can't even find part-time entry level jobs.
If we need to bring people in they need to have genuinely niche and in-demand skills that can't currently be met via the domestic markets. Think surgeons, engineers etc and not deliveroo drivers and fast food waiters for example. We need to force employers to train our own young people instead of undercutting them with low or cash in hand untaxed wages. If we need other people until such time as we have enough of our own trained people, we should only allow it on a short-term guest worker basis. We don't need to give them passports or indefinite leave to remain.

Most of the people I refer to are British now regardless of where they or their parents are born or are you using English to mean white?
Young people can get part time jobs if they try - perhaps the one you know are too grand to do hospitality or cleaning or caring jobs. The cohort I know back from finishing uni are all in part time jobs whilst they find the work they trained for.

How else can you see English people other than white? Perhaps, you are using British and English interchangeable. There are loads of 'British' people who aren't white eg. British Indians like Mr Sunak, British Carribean like Lammy.
I don't know what world you live in but I can guess given your obvious ignorance of what its like for everyday young people. Youth unemployment is around 15%!!!!

The young people I refer to all went to Haringey state schools throughout. All were born in London so qualify as English as well as British. Some of them are white. Most of them are mixed heritage. All have part time jobs because they went out to find them. All got them without help from their parents. They are everyday young people.

Being born in London alone does not make someone English. If I was born in Tokyo to English parents I wouldn't be Japanese.

So English is a racial category as per your definition which cant apply to anyone whose parentage isn't your idea of English - how far back do you allow people to go before they are disqualified from being English? Do you allow those with one "English" parent to qualify?

English isn't a racial category. It's an ethnicity like Welsh, Irish, Scottish; distinct from but closely related to other north west European ethnicities. All part of the Caucasian racial group which is genetically distinct from other racial groups.
Your question "...how far back do you allow people to go before they are disqualified from being English?" doesn't make a lot of sense.
Someone who has one English parent would have mixed ethnicity. If their descendants consistently interbred with English people and did not retain foreign cultural practices they would become English too. There is no specific trigger point. Just like night turns into day. Gradually there is less night and more day until a point where its obviously day time.
You seem to be under the illusion that anyone who is not English is somehow inferior which is not the case.
