What Ben Habib fails to understand is that reawakened ethnic consciousness among the indigenous British - English, Scottish, Welsh - is not a threat to the union.
The demand for self-determination does not necessarily lead to separatism. Self-determination means that a people have the right to choose whether they are in a political union or not.
If anything, the rekindling of our organic identities in the face of mass immigration may well bring us closer together.
What is a threat to the union is if it is perceived by people to be an obstacle to reversing their demographic demise in their homeland.
If unionists condemn the inevitable resurgence of ethnic consciousness, especially among the English, it is in fact they who jeopardise the union. They need to be conscientious of this.
