After Britishness became identified as multi-ethnic, with both Asian and Black people but also most white people affirming it, some chose to affirm a monoethnic version of Englishness instead. That they align Englishness with whiteness doesn't motivate anyone else to accede to them

When it first came out, there were some comparisons to "Monk". I can understand that, though it was more about what people now call 'vibes' than any actual resemblance. So it certainly doesn't need that 'Britishness'.

Country Life’s Book of Dogs: A Celebration of Britain’s Most Aristocratic Canines
From the Anglotopia Podcast: Episode 68 There is a particular kind of Britishness that cannot be fully explained without dogs. It lives in the muddy boot rooms of country houses, in the ankles of a queen, in the pages of a weekly magazine that has been quietly cataloguing the nation's obsessions for well over a century. When Jonathan Thomas sat down for this episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, he did something he rarely does: he changed locations, gathered up the family Cavaliers, and invited a couple of very special co-hosts onto the show.

I think the "Tebbit Test" is a fascinating part of the race relations debate in England, because I think it may have badly led people astray by encouraging them to become a bit complacent about people not feeling able to fully commit to Britishness/Englishness due to not feeling welcomed/included

TLS commentary: How British Is It?
“For centuries we have prized the same prejudices”, the vicar of an isolated Warwickshire village told H. V. Morton in 1926, “and we have grown up as naturally as my currant bushes out there. We we…

Yeah, it's something I've noticed is that the UK and US have, since the mid 2010s, started importing each others versions of racism (simplified: British hierarchy based on a perceived "Britishness" vs the US hierarchy of complexion) and creating a horrifying fusion.

There’s a real irony that this survey is conflating Britishness and Englishness.

I care less about whether Badenoch, Braverman or whoever else wants to construct a definition of Britishness which does or does not include them, or people wanting to construct an airtight definition of English Indigeneity, than that the obvious political end is violent exclusion of others.

I would hazard a guess that a large amount of the red includes people who misunderstood the question and linked ‘Englishness' / ‘Britishness' to diversity, which is itself fundamental to the strength of these islands and what it means to actually be British.

be worth pointing out it's because of them cunts that companies have to assure the roundabout painting cunts that there's nothing "forrin" in their product by plastering it's "Britishness" needlessly (for the vast majority) all over the shop

Britishness is tolerance, empathy and acceptance of differences and London has all that in spades which is why millions of us love living there so just fuck off!
London IS Britishness. And that’s why the far right hate it.

But positive to see a Tory leader putting clear distance from Reform on Britishness and ethnic identity. Even if it did get a noticeably mixed reception from the Party faithful.

The Britishness of John Barnes and Ian Wright was questioned. Badenoch is having a selective memory moment.

And "slightly bad luck" was intended to be more a small violin than an orchestra of the kind of bad luck it is.
They expel overtly ethnonationalist arguments of other kinds, but this is a civic Britishness, ethnic Englishness argument that is of little use to them, beyond reputational risk

fundamentally the root of the joke is either 1) based on mocking postwar britain suffering from ration (weird and malicious) 2) classist mockery of poor people's ability to afford food (classist and malicious) or 3) denying the existence of British migrant communities or their britishness (racism)
