If a white person born in Australia can be Australian without Aboriginal ancestry, and a white person born in America can be American without Native American ancestry, why can't a Black person born in England be English without Anglo-Saxon ancestry?

This platform has removed the offending tweet already (I think) but I'm going to leave this screen grab here simply to highlight the regular crap some of us have to endure for doing our jobs

This is low, even by the standards of the UK Football policing unit, casually linking the Taylor report post Hillsborough and football tragedies to changes in the law on drinking at matches
Drinking in view of the pitch didn’t cause deaths or injuries - policing failures did
Little gem on the edge of Lytham. Autumnal feels on Green drive.
Combine with Lytham Hall or Witch wood for a nice long walk. #Lytham

This morning, I asked the Cabinet Office if last December’s IOPC findings into Norman Bettison’s conduct in relation to Hillsborough and its aftermath are being considered by the Honours Forfeiture Committee.
Listening to music tonight and thinking of the proud Palestinian people who are trying to live a normal life but are unable to because of an indescribable and unworthy hate.
Love not war!

Nigel Farage and other senior members of Reform UK have been filmed by undercover reporters celebrating secret new foreign donations.
Channel 4 News and @Verbatim_Media, a group of investigative journalists, can today reveal a plot to break the law on party funding at the highest levels of Reform UK.

Channel 4 News approached Reform UK, Mr Farage, Mr Jukes and Mr Orr for comment on the findings of this investigation. They did not comment but we understand they deny the allegations in full.

Boris Johnson’s govt wasted £10bn of public PPE during the coronavirus pandemic, official inquiry concludes.
Covid-19 inquiry chair, Heather Hallett, also criticised then Conservative govt's controversial “VIP lane” which gave high priority for PPE contracts to firms with political links to the Tories.

The number 96 has been tattooed on my wrist since 2015.
It reminds me every day that I was one of the lucky ones who came home from Hillsborough.
Today, standing in Parliament to speak as the Hillsborough Law passed was one of the proudest and most emotional moments of my life.
For the 97. For their families. For every campaigner who never gave up.
This is your legacy.
