For years, before I joined the White Papers team, the minds at work here have pointed out that the current suite of British denaturalization laws are sweeping in nature. Britain’s Home Secretary can denaturalize individuals with a stroke of his (or her) pen for a range of surprisingly simple reasons including if said denaturalization would be “conducive to the public good.” White Papers has argued, I have argued, and nationalist Brits would argue that denaturalizing most of our post-1997 immigrants would not only be “conducive to the public good” but necessary to preserve the British Isles as the homeland of the English, Scottish, Welsh, Cornish, Manx, and Northern Irish.
UK Remigration Update: 60% Of Non-Brits Could Lose Their Citizenship Under Existing Law!

In creating our remigration policies for Britain—including in my British Remigration Policy Platform (BRPP)—White Papers relied on a very useful report by the New Statesman from December of 2021. The report by the liberal-progressive New Statesman highlighted that 50% of Asians and 40% of Black/Africans in Britain retain or qualify for citizenship in their country of ancestral origin. In other words, this demographic segment could be denaturalized with relative ease using extant British law.

White Papers advocates doing just that; but as it turns out, the New Statesman numbers were a serious underestimate! Remigration as a matter of policy in Britain will be even easier to implement than we previously believed.
A report (Stripped: The Citizenship Divide [PDF]) published in late 2025 by the Runnymede Trust, a leftist non-profit that tackles entirely nonexistent “structural racism” against minorities in Britain, shows that 3 in 5 non-Brits qualify to have their UK citizenship revoked. In other words, 60% immigrants and their descendants in Britain who have acquired a British passport could have that citizenship removed by the stroke of the Home Secretary’s pen.

This means that 13% of the population of the United Kingdom could be denaturalized and deported without needing to change a single law via act of parliament! Furthermore, the Runnymede Trust highlights that the appeals process to fight having one’s citizenship revoked is long and arduous thus making revocations essentially permanent the moment they are issued. This is fantastic news for Remigration-minded Brits and our friends around the world who wish to see these islands preserved for their native inhabitants.

The (seemingly) pro-replacement folks at Runnymede have also produced some helpful numbers on who could be denaturalized. This includes:
- 1.6 million Black “British” people (62%)
- 700,000 people of mixed/other ethnicity (62%)
- 3.3 million Asian “British” people (60%)
A further 2.4 million people of White/Western descent in Britain also qualify under the current legislation to have their citizenship revoked by the Home Secretary—for example Poles, and other Eastern Europeans—though it is unclear if the Runnymede Trust simply labeled all Whites as “White British” in their study or if they truly meant that 2.4 million native Britons with dual citizenship could have their passports revoked under our current laws.

The “Other White” Category In The UK I suspect it is a bit of both, but this is ultimately a digression. The real priority is the remigration of the many problematic non-Western elements now occupying large parts of Britain’s ancient landscape.
So, the real question is what would be the demographic results of denaturalizing all these people?
The results would be fantastic. According to the latest official ONS data, there are 69.3 million people living in the British Isles, roughly 51 million of whom are native Britons (what our Office for National Statistics calls the “White British”). Native Britons are 73.6% of the country’s population, the total of 55 or so million Westerners (Europeans/Whites) are about 79.4% of the population, while the 14.5 million non-Westerners (BAME/POC/etc.) account for roughly 21%. Within the non-Western demographic about 9.32 million have British citizenship while 5.18 million are here on visas and or under indefinite leave to remain status.
In total, about 10.8 million BAME non-Brits could be remigrated from the country. 5.6 million via denaturalization and subsequent deportation and 5.18 million via the cancellation of and refusal to renew visas and right to remain statuses—the latter policy being something that Reform UK has already proposed doing once entering government. This does not paint a full picture, however.
As with any remigration policy, we want to determine who we want to avoid deporting, and in this case it would be the spouses/partners of native Britons and their children. This figure, as best I could estimate using ONS data from 2011 and current population figures, is about 1.32 million people, with 520,000 being spouses/partners of native Brits and 800,000 being the children of these couples. If we keep to the Runnymede Trust figure of 60% qualifying for denaturalization, then about 792,000 of these people would qualify to be denaturalized.
I am not proposing we denaturalize this segment of the population. I am proposing we ensure their status be protected unless they are violent criminals. There are also some non-citizen migrant workers we truly need, such as NHS doctors that we cannot immediately replace with British doctors. About 22% of migrants in the United Kingdom come on work related visas. Given the ridiculous number of scams, I will generously assume that we need only about 10% of our current non-Western visa holders to fill critical roles. So, this is about 518,000 people, most of whom will have one dependent according to the ONS data.
Finally, we will want to deport families as units. Children should not be ripped away from their parents. So, doing some back of the fold math and considering the nationality laws of Britain’s largest migrant group, there are about 715,000 children of denaturalization-qualifying individuals who would also need to be deported with their parents even if the child still holds a British passport.
So, we’ve got about 792,000 people of mixed British ancestry and in mixed British families to remain in the country, plus roughly 1 million visa-holding migrants. The remigration policy of denaturalization and steady visa cancellation would result in:
- 4.8 denaturalizations and deportations
- 715,000 deportations of the children of the denaturalized
- 4 million visa cancellations and subsequent deportations
Current British law combined with our familial caveats would allow for the denaturalization and deportation of roughly 9.5 million non-Western/non-British people in the United Kingdom. This would increase the native British share of the United Kingdom’s population by more than 11-points from the current 73.6% to 85.35%. The overall White/Western share of the population would increase by 12-points from the current 79.4% to 92% while the non-Western minority population would decrease from 21% of the national population to 8%. In terms of population figures, there would be 51 million native Britons, 55 million total Whites/Westerners, and about 4.78 million non-Western minorities.
This remigration program would effectively reset the demographic clock of Britain to 2001. However, the British people could choose to go further. If we are going to deport the many, many, minority individuals with no real connection to the British nation, we could also do the same for many of the non-British Whites in the country. Of the 2.4 million Whites who qualify for denaturalization under the current legal framework I estimate that about 1.61 million have no familial (spouse/partner/children) connection to Britain. If we chose to deport these individuals with few ties to our national community, then the demographic makeup of the country would be 88% native British, 91.8% White overall, and 8.16% non-Western minority groups.
Most importantly, Britain would no longer be an island of strangers. 91.4% of the post-remigration population would be native Brits, married/partners to native Brits, and people with mixed British and non-British ancestry. This is the Britain I want. It’s the Britain our children deserve. It’s the only Britain that can thrive after the striking failures of the multicultural project.
