Map created by reddit user Additional-Hour6038The map above shows the % of school students who enrolled during the 2024/2025 school year identified as White British in England and Wales.

First off the data behind the map is solid as it comes directly from Gov.UK and Gov.Wales.

And while I’m not sure what the purpose of creating the map was, I do think it’s missing a bit of nuance (which to be fair to the map author is difficult to do on a single map).

The map above is a look at how Google could update Google Maps if Nigel Farage wins the next UK election and decided to try and rename the Irish Sea to the English Sea.
