What about English identity ?

There's a good post over at the Britology blog which explores Is there such a thing as ‘multi-cultural England’?

PS I've been trying to figure out who the Steadfast Trust are and who's behind them. I note the Wikipedia entry got the chop. Anyone know ?

Thanks Ian - that's a bit more and some names to google.

The idea of the charity look very interesting. I have wondered about how to teach my children about their English heritage.

But equally there are organisations that are fronts for other agendas and I want to be careful.

There is no such thing as multiculturalism, let alone multi-cultural England.

Not where I live either, but in major cities, I would say there is.

The Charity Commission report on their decision to turn down the Ethnic English Trust's application for charitable status also offers some insights into Steadfast.

A google on the name "Steadfast Trust" turns up some interesting endorsements.
