Who We Are

England Then and Now is a movement for English self-governance, constitutional restoration, and the preservation of England as the homeland of the English people.

We’re not a political party. We’re not aligned with left or right. We don’t ask for Westminster’s permission, and we don’t compromise on England’s right to exist.

We are English people who refuse to accept that our nation can be given away without our consent.

This movement was founded after forty years of watching British politics promise change and deliver betrayal. Forty years of seeing immigration “controlled” while numbers hit record highs. Forty years of politicians claiming to serve the people while serving everyone except the people.

We’ve had enough. And we’re doing something about it.

What We Stand For

Our mission is simple and unapologetic:

England should be governed by English people, for English people, in the interests of English people.

That means:

1. English Self-Governance

England is the only nation in the British Isles without its own parliament. Scotland has Holyrood. Wales has the Senedd. Northern Ireland has Stormont.

England has Westminster – a system that gave away our sovereignty to the EU, opened our borders to 800 million Commonwealth subjects, and still refuses to admit the English people are sovereign.

We demand an English Parliament, elected by English people, accountable only to English people, with full control over English laws, English borders, and England’s future.

2. Constitutional Restoration

Under English constitutional law – established by Magna Carta, the English Civil War, the Glorious Revolution, and the Bill of Rights 1689 – the people are sovereign, not Parliament.

Parliament acts “in the name of all the people.” Parliament cannot give away what it doesn’t own.

Yet Parliament:

• Passed the British Nationality Act 1948 without asking the English people
• Joined the EU in 1973 without a referendum
• Dissolved England in 1707 (Acts of Union) without English consent
• Still obeys foreign courts (ECHR) that violate the Bill of Rights

These acts were unconstitutional. We demand their repeal and the restoration of the constitutional principle: the English people are sovereign.

3. Remigration

England was 99.75% native-born in 1841. England was still 97% native-born in 1931.

By 2021, England is only 83% native-born. Major English cities – London, Birmingham, Leicester, Manchester – are now minority-English.

This transformation was never voted for. It was imposed by the unconstitutional British Nationality Act 1948.

We demand Remigration as a legal remedy to correct an illegal act:

• Deportation of foreign criminals back to 1948
• Paid repatriation for welfare-dependent arrivals
• Revocation of Leave to Remain for the “Boris Wave” (2021–2023)
• England restored to what it was before Westminster violated our sovereignty

This isn’t hatred. This is restoration of constitutional law.

4. England for the English. Always.

We make no apology for saying plainly what others won’t:

England is the homeland of the English people.

Not “British” (a political fiction created to dilute English identity in 1707). Not “anyone who holds a passport” (citizenship can be granted or sold, but nationhood cannot). English.

The Japanese don’t apologize for wanting Japan to remain Japanese. The Poles don’t apologize for wanting Poland to remain Polish. The Israelis don’t apologize for having a Law of Return based on ethnicity.

We will not apologize for wanting England to remain English.

What We’re NOT

Let’s be clear about what this movement is not, because we know how the establishment will try to smear us:

We Are NOT:

❌ Racist – We base our arguments on constitutional law, historical fact, and the right of every nation to preserve itself. Opposition to mass immigration is not hatred of other peoples. It’s defense of our own.

❌ Hateful – We don’t hate anyone. We simply assert that England belongs to the English people, just as every other nation belongs to its people. That’s not extreme. It’s normal.

❌ Violent – We operate entirely within the law. Our methods are: organizing, educating, petitioning, protesting peacefully, and asserting constitutional rights. Anyone advocating violence is not part of this movement.

❌ A Political Party – We’re a movement. We’ll support any candidate – Restore, Reform, Tory, Labour, Independent – who commits to English self-governance, repealing the 1948 Act, and recognizing that the people are sovereign. And we’ll replace any candidate who compromises on those principles.

❌ Left or Right – We don’t care about your economic views, your position on healthcare, or whether you think the state should be bigger or smaller. We care about one thing: is England governed by English people in the interests of English people? If yes, we’ll work with you. If no, we won’t.

Who’s Behind This

This movement was started by someone who has followed British politics closely for forty years.

Not as a career politician. Not as a journalist or academic. Just as an English person who has watched promise after promise broken, seen “outsider” parties become establishment, and realized that the system will never reform itself.

After forty years, the pattern is clear:

• Westminster gave away sovereignty to the EU without asking (1973)
• Westminster passed the 1948 Nationality Act without consent
• Westminster dissolved England in 1707 without a referendum
• Westminster still obeys foreign courts that violate the Bill of Rights

The problem isn’t which party is in power. The problem is Westminster itself.

That’s why this movement exists. Not to win elections within the system, but to challenge the legitimacy of the system and demand what English constitutional law already guarantees: the people are sovereign.

This isn’t about one person. This is about building a network of English people across the country who understand their constitutional rights and are willing to assert them.

No leaders. No hierarchy. Just English people organizing town by town to take back what’s already theirs.

Our Principles

We operate on five core principles that will never change, never be compromised, and never be negotiated away:

1. The People Are Sovereign

Not Parliament. Not the King. Not international bodies. The people. English constitutional law is clear on this. We will assert it at every opportunity.

2. England First, Always

Every decision, every policy, every action must be judged by one test: does this serve the English people? If yes, we support it. If no, we oppose it. No exceptions.

3. No Compromise

We’ve watched forty years of “pragmatic” politics deliver nothing but decline. We will not water down our demands to seem “electable.” We will not moderate to avoid being called names. We will not accept half-measures.

England for the English, or nothing.

4. Constitutional Law, Not Emotion

Our arguments are based on the Bill of Rights 1689, census data, and historical fact. We don’t need to shout. We don’t need to hate. We just need to tell the truth and cite the law.

5. Action, Not Just Talk

Movements that only complain achieve nothing. We organize. We petition. We write to MPs. We build local chapters. We take legal action when necessary.

We act.

Why “England Then and Now”?

The name tells you everything you need to know:

THEN: England was 99% English. England was sovereign. England governed itself. English people built England over a thousand years – the Industrial Revolution, the railways, the hospitals, the schools, the culture that shaped the modern world.

NOW: England is minority-English in major cities. England is ruled by Westminster, which obeys foreign courts. English people are told their country never really existed, that “British” was always multicultural, that wanting their homeland to remain theirs is hatred.

The gap between THEN and NOW is the theft we’re here to reverse.

We’re not trying to “turn back the clock” to some imaginary golden age. We’re asserting a simple legal and moral truth:

What was taken without consent can be reclaimed by demand.

What Makes Us Different

There are other groups talking about immigration, sovereignty, and English identity. Here’s what makes us different:

1. We Make Constitutional Arguments

We don’t rely on emotion or outrage. We cite the Bill of Rights 1689. We reference census data. We show that the 1948 Nationality Act was unconstitutional because Parliament didn’t ask the people.

This makes us harder to dismiss and harder to deplatform.

2. We’re Explicitly English, Not “British”

Most groups hide behind “British” because it’s safer. We don’t. England is a nation. The English are a people. We will not dilute that by using the political fiction of “British.”

3. We’re Independent of All Parties

We don’t care if you vote Reform, Tory, Labour, or Independent. We measure politicians by one standard: do they support English self-governance, Remigration, and constitutional restoration? If yes, we’ll back them. If no, we’ll replace them.

Parties compromise. Movements don’t.

4. We Organize Locally

National movements are built town by town. We’re creating local chapters across England where people can meet, organize, and take action in their own communities.

You’re not alone. Find your chapter. Start organizing.

5. We’re Unapologetic

We won’t tone-police ourselves to make the establishment comfortable. We won’t use euphemisms to avoid being called names.

England is the homeland of the English people. England should be governed by English people. England should remain English.

If saying that makes us “controversial,” so be it. The truth doesn’t change based on who’s offended by it.

Join Us

If you’ve read this far, you probably agree with at least some of what we’re saying.

Maybe all of it. Maybe you’re nodding along thinking “finally, someone’s saying what I’ve been thinking for years.”

Good. Now do something about it.

Don’t just read and move on. Don’t just agree silently. Act.

• Sign up to our email list
• Write to your MP using our templates
• Find or start a local chapter
• Share our constitutional arguments
• Make “England for the English” something every politician has to respond to

Because movements aren’t built by people who agree. They’re built by people who act.

The establishment is counting on you staying quiet. They’re counting on you thinking “I’m just one person, what difference can I make?”

They’re wrong.

Brexit didn’t happen because UKIP got a handful of MPs. It happened because millions of ordinary people refused to accept “no.”

Scottish independence is building not because the SNP asked nicely, but because Scots demanded their right to self-governance.

English self-governance will happen the same way: English people demanding what’s already theirs under constitutional law.

Be one of them. Join the movement.

England Then and Now. England for the English. Always.
