English Initiatives – Counter Action
Written by director
If the response to your having questioned the exclusion of English ethnicity does not satisfy you or leaves you feeling even more aggrieved, especially if the reaction of the person you asked dismisses your questions out of hand, or sneers or shows contempt in other ways, you have the legally supplied means of taking such issues further! Such a reaction gives rise to a potentially very substantial claim under the Race Relations Act!
There is now a widespread practice of using ethnic questionnaires in, for example, the spheres of Employment and Health or Education service provision. One action we can ALL take when expected or required to complete such a questionnaire, which omits to include ‘English’ ethnicity, is to question and challenge rather than grudgingly accept this omission!One way for aggrieved English people to reduce feelings of anger and frustration is to actively question and even challenge the indignities being inflicted upon our national identity. Indeed, you are urged to be active in defence of our nationality! The greater the number of us actively resisting the elimination of the English being visible as a nationality, the greater will be the effect.
The process of making the claim starts with sending a questionnaire in accordance with Section 65 (S65) of the Race Relations Act 1976 to ask questions which expose the person’s/organisation’s racial discrimination. The blank forms for S65 Questionnaires can be down loaded in MS Word format from the following links: HERE
The form in MS Word format can be completed using your computer and then printed for you to sign.
If you regard the response to your S65 Questionnaire as unsatisfactory and would like initially free advice about what more to do, send the form with a covering letter to the address shown at the foot of the ‘Contact’ tab. You have to be reasonably quick in pursuing your claim as it must be brought within 6 months (or only three months if it is an employment related incident).
