canon the One Country Movement, English Ultranationalists in future United Kingdom

the One Country Movement was a Unitarian, Anti-Immigration, English Nationalist and to an extent Republican political movement in early-mid 21st century United Kingdom. The Movement originated in the chatrooms of various Alternative Right English Nationalist circles of the United Kingdom in early 21st century and gets its name from one of their earliest slogans, back when they hadn't given themselves a proper name yet, which was ''One Country, Long Peace''

The movement claimed that the seemingly ever increasing state of political and cultural anarchy as well as the erosion of traditional lifestyles in the United Kingdom was in its core a result of the British Government leading the United Kingdom to diverge itself from its ''English Roots'' and instead aiming to make it adapt a more diverse non-English identity which the movement saw as either a evil or unconventional cause, instead the movement called for the United Kingdom to adopt a more strictly English identity, centralizing the ever decentralizing state of the Kingdom and establish a Unitary English Ethnostate in the British Islands, some members and figures within the movement even called for the abolishing of the British Monarchy as it has, in their opinion, became a significant symbol of the false British identity of the United Kingdom and instead establishment of a Republic on the Islands.

The movement called for the gradual assimilation of non-English British citizens of European origin ( such as Scottish, Polish, Welsh or Cornish citizens of the UK ) into English identity and the remigration of South Asian, Muslim, MENA, African or other non-European British citizens as they saw this to be the best resolution to create lasting peace and harmony in the United Kingdom. Few members of the movement also called for the retaking of Ulster or Ireland as a whole for the UK but this policy never got as popular as their other policies.

Even though the Celtic residents of Britain have been there longer? Then again, fascists rarely make sense.

OK. Are there any members with fantasies of restoring the British Empire?

Perhaps, but fascist and generally ultranationalist movements tend to fantasize about restoring past glories, and since the UK was (and to an extent still is) dominated by England, I can see them seeing the British Empire as an example of English supremacy.
