Multiple questions were asked about demographics, multiculturalism, and how sectarian Islamic enclaves will inevitably hijack democracy at the Roger Scruton Legacy Foundation's "Now & England" event in Westminster on Monday.

When asked, “If anyone can identify as English, then what does being ‘English’ mean?” by Carl Benjamin, historian Robert Tombs said "If only we could clone Katherine Birbalsingh ... It’s wonderful to see headscarved girls reciting Kipling, singing the national anthem…”

Tombs denied English identity has anything to do with ancestry, and told a heckler from the front row, “Of course you can learn to be English."

Establishment conservatives are very uncomfortable with the idea that ethnicity exists, and that education and a civic nationalist British identity are incapable of assimilating millions of first- and second-generation immigrants.

But given David Betz and Dominic Cumming shave repeatedly warned that Britain is on the precipice of civil war along ethnic lines, the hour is too late for opining on how a girl in a hijab reciting “If—” brought you to tears.

Discussing English identity, demographic realities, and why politicans are incapable of speaking about the existence and interests of a distinct British people, this week on Tomlinson Talks.
