Milestones

We want the Government to ratify the Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention, 1989 (ILO convention 169). We believe the English, Scottish and Welsh are the indigenous peoples of Great Britain and should be recognised and protected as such.

We believe DNA evidence shows that invasions of Britain over the last 2,000 years had less genetic impact than previously thought, and that the English, Scottish and Welsh are indigenous peoples. We want the Government to ratify the convention to provide recognition and protection.
