The Mancunian Basketball fella John Amaechi has just been on LBC with David Lammy

Stunning piece of radio, Amaechi was brilliant on this subject. Eye opening stuff to be honest. Although I am sure the racists will pile in on Lammy, he gets a lot of stick from them.

Lammy was fortunate that LBC caller the other day was racist and stupid with it (even by stupid racist standards). Because while every man and his dog is falling over to pat him on the back, in reality he was talking utter bollocks.

This is ethnicity facts and figure from GOV.UK....

In England and Wales, there are 18 ethnic groups recommended for use by the government when asking for someone’s ethnicity. These are grouped into 5 ethnic groups, each with an ‘Any other’ option where people can write in their ethnicity using their own words. These groups were used in the 2011 Census of England and Wales.

The recommended ethnic groups are:

White​

  • English, Welsh, Scottish, Northern Irish or British
  • Irish
  • Gypsy or Irish Traveller
  • Any other White background

Mixed or Multiple ethnic groups​

  • White and Black Caribbean
  • White and Black African
  • White and Asian
  • Any other Mixed or Multiple ethnic background

Asian or Asian British​

  • Indian
  • Pakistani
  • Bangladeshi
  • Chinese
  • Any other Asian background

Black, African, Caribbean or Black British​

  • African
  • Caribbean
  • Any other Black, African or Caribbean background

Other ethnic group​

  • Arab
  • Any other ethnic group
In Wales, ‘Welsh’ is the first option in the White category.

White English is an ethnicity.

Lammy can be many things, but he can't be white English and neither can Sunak, and there isn't any other variation of English that they fall in to.....British on the other hand is as much theirs as it is mine.

Lammy rambling on about everyone having sex with Normans and Saxons and Irish, and you can throw in the Romans if you like, making English ethnicity so diffuse you can shoehorn all and every ethnicity, including his own, is pure Humpty Dumpty....."Words mean what ever I choose them to mean"

Clearly in Lammy world an ethnic group has to be pure and any evidence of rumpy pumpy with foreigners is an instant plunge in to the melting pot (I thought melting pot was a left wing no no).

Besides, you can't have an ethnic minority without an ethnic majority and if white English is not an ethnicity there's nothing to be a minority to.

Lammy is not English and all those being right on by saying he is are talking out of their arse.

Lammy did well to keep his calm in the face of such stupidity , i will give him that.
 
I think the only councillor with a criminal conviction for breaking the code of conduct was a guy who was a non-exec unpaid director of a charity (but claimed expenses) and voted on the Local Plan core strategy, and the charity owned land that might have got some benefit. He'd declared the interest but still voted. So if the Council budget includes a small grant to a local charity for socially-useful work, any councillor who's a trustee might be affected.

But a mayor giving contracts to a lover...

I’m not sure census categories are the best way to go with it either with ethnic groups. Scotland for example has both Black Scottish and Black British as options on theirs.
