The ONS: "We do not produce projections by ethnic group."

Rupert Lowe, 28 September: some passport holders are only "technically" British.
The law has no technical citizens. You are one or you are not. His next line: "remove that piece of paper, and then remove them from our country."

Britain already strips citizenship for fraud: at least 1,565 orders from 2010 to 2024, about a hundred a year, each open to appeal.
Rupert Lowe now wants a mass review, for "fraud, deception and crimes against our people".

On the BBC on 7 August, Rupert Lowe would not say if King Charles passed a two-UK-born-parents test. Prince Philip was born in Greece. "We can split hairs."
A month later Restore's paper settled on one British-born parent.

When the Telegraph ran Matt Goodwin's 2063 date, the caption under its chart said: "Other white" category not shown.
Two days later Goodwin spelt out the count: "Once you exclude 'White Other', then the White British..."

Fraser Nelson, former Spectator editor, on Matt Goodwin's 2063: the date was produced "by assuming no child or grandchild of a migrant can or would want to classify themselves as White British".
The four assumptions behind it:

Did you know you can be British but not a Briton?
Rupert Lowe's Restore Britain published twelve pages on who the British people are. It opens by promising that British citizens are equal before the law.
I read the whole thing and put twenty-seven notes in the margin.

Freud told a joke about a borrowed kettle. Returned with a hole, the borrower says three things at once. He never borrowed it. The hole was already there. It was fine when he gave it back.
Each works alone. Together they sink him.
Reform spent five days doing the kettle.
